Hey Guys

Looking for those whove had experiences dealing with both these tyres in wet conditions

Are the KU39's worth the extra dough?

Im currently running 265-35-18 on the rear. The 255's are much cheaper , would my performance be hurt that much by fitting a 255 in place of the 265's? Car is a daily driver which sees no track use.

Cheers

a) I thought you already chose a set of tyres over a month ago

b) I told you to consider yokohamas while your at it

c) your packing bricks because your car/you drive like shit in the wet so that should mean that you should buy a really good pair of tyres

d) just go get the ku31's. Lots of people have reviewed them and say they are good

KU36's are fine in the wet from my experience but I would definitely not buy them again due to the incredible road noise they started making at around half tread. Go the KU31's for the road, but even they are noisy from all accounts.

i always used Adrenalin Potenza RE001 on my NA 33, about $220 per corner

Never had issues with them, Mind you i wasent putting much power down but they served me great- Great life out of them too.

You can slip out with anything in the wet - Drive to the conditions and use common sense.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • 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!
