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.

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
