Well after having the KU31 Kumho on the M35, I wouldn't get them again! they are NOISY!!!

I run the ku31 on the front of my 180sx but due to the exhaust I couldn't hear them at all. Now on the M35, being a quite car, they are quite noisy. I will definitely buy a different tyre when these need to be replaced.

Wow, really? I didn't really notice extra noise when I fitted mine; maybe my original tyres were noisy too. What will you be looking at next time?

I'm not sure what I would get next time. These aren't a reall lot quieter than the jap snow tyres that it came on. One tyre shop said the ku31 is noisy and should look at the ku21. I should have listened.

I only stuck with the ku31 as I knew they gripped nicely in dry and wet. Didn't realize that on a quiet car they would be this noisy.

When I took mine back to AM Performance, Andrew said he would build to the noise level you want.

Theres also those Jap exhausts which are supposed to be quiet.

I've got a mate in Melbourne that owns a couple of tyre powers, basically his recommendation for me/us was

mid range thats not going to cost the earth, have minimal road noise and still be a good tyre go for the Toyo T1 Sports

Anyone looked at this option?

Damn, I was going to pick up some KU31's as well.

Back to the drawing board I guess. I was really hoping to keep the set under $850.

The cheapest I found the ku31 was $262 each fitted. I might be a little picky about the tyre. Maybe some of the noise is due to needing a wheel alignment, the may have too much rear toe causing a bit of noise as it drags the tyre. Booked in for an alignment Friday so see how I go.

A mate of mine can sort me out for $205 per corner.. Ideally another friend will be able to fit them but otherwise I'll pay for them to be fitted. Just going to keep an eye out for other options in the mean time if there's something a bit quieter.

Dang thats cheap. I even tried places interstate but they couldn't get my size. I also figured if I bought them interstate they would be around $200-220 each, plus $60-80 freight for the four, plus another $20 each to fit. So it didn't really work out that much cheaper for me if any, plus I needed them asap.

On another note, Im starting to think the noise might be a wheel bearing. It sounds, to me at least, like its mainly coming from the front passenger wheel. Ill get a second opinion on it.

I bought a set of lock nuts from autobahn for $30. Very good quality set not cheap china junk. Also replaced all the other nuts with new chrome nuts in the smaller 19mm head size so the inside of the rims don't get scratched up. They where $4 each. Used a voucher from the entertainment book and only paid $75 all up.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
