No I'm not associated with these guys at all and don't get any kick back or this, but I got a good price and the service was great so I'm sharing the love.

I got a set of 235 45 R17s for 640 and he's driving them up from Winton to Wodonga for me as well, how's that for service lol

Call and speak to Laurence, tell him Dan sent you.

They go to Winton and Wakefield regularly so you can collect from them too.

I'm running them on a Volk 8" front and 9" rear which should be ideal. GT-R rims are 17x9 right? so should be fine. You could probably fit a 245 if you wanted to I think.

I've not driven on the KU36 but the consensus on here is that they are a good tyre for the money but we all know these are not R Comps so the grip will never be that good, but for the price and considering I'm just doing this sort of thing for fun, it makes them a decent choice.

From what I read around the web, the RS-R should be a touch faster but not last quite as long. I'm not as concerned about the longevity as I wont be driving them on the street.

Talk all this with a grain of salt, I don't have the tyres yet and my experience is limited to the tyres that came on the car (215 wan li's on 7" rims) and some very old RE55s (which were bloody awesome when coming from Wan Lis lol).

It seems that all the R31 guys are loving the RS-R's and the KU31. They all say the KU36's are crap with grip and they loose turn in. The evo and WRX guys run the KU36's and say they are an awesome thing. I spoke to a mate who was running these on his Cyborg and he says they are fantastic for the money, but the sidewalls are rubbish. If he runs 38psi he gets understeer and 32psi the sidewalls flex like a mofo but it turns in. He is running 5deg neg in the front however.

I've just bought some KU36's myself and will be seeing how they stack up against the old TPG's I had. They are a cheap tyre and they seem to hold on well, so I think they will be a good thing. They are also a very wide tyre for the casing size. I've just picked up 215/45's that are as wide as 225's.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
