180 treadwear street tyre faster than a 50 treadwear race compound tyre? I wonder if the XS is really that good.

wow faster then V70a? hard to believe tho.

I'm with you guys on this one. Good for a street tyre, but surely not comparable to a competition tyre.

3 second faster? That is massive! Great marketing for Kumho!

[kavehman]

sorry dude, been busy as with uni and work. hopefully this week, might not though depends on time

So the KU36!
225/50 r16

Here is my brief first impressions!
Road noise is there, definately more than my Hankook k105's but considerably less than the RE-01's. I would say 6/10 with 10 being high road noise.

Quite a nice tyre. I am pretty impressed with it so far. held up very nicely in the wet considering they are brand new and possibly have that new tyre coating on them still :P

It feels really solid and strong, grippy and forgiving. Better than the RE-01's previously on there.

I will provide a better review once i go to track to test them correctly.

Overall they are definately the best value ive gotten from a tyre. My Hankook K105 cost me 175 fitted each and these only cost me 160 ish fitted.

Extraneous variables:
New camber settings : -1.8 deg on fronts.

Using the KU36 as well, they're excellent on the dry, IMO a little or similar to the AD07, but the price is alot cheaper.

[Didz]

KU36 test on Track.

Awesome. That is all.

Lol no really, they are fairly good. Took quite a beating and improved my PB by a couple of seconds
