Elmo 4th Gear July 4, 2012 Share July 4, 2012 Hi all, Need help to find this Kumho tyre - KU36 - 225/45 R17. Currently on 215/45 R17 as there was no stock for the 225. Seems quite hard to find any shops selling this size for this brand since last year. Also appreciate any recommendation for any other tyres similar to KU36 for wear rate and grip. Noise not an issue. Price preferably below $250 per piece for size 225/45 R17. Thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo 4th Gear July 5, 2012 Author Share July 5, 2012 used to be on ku36 1.5 years ago 235 45 17. it is v noisy for me for street use. Thks for the feedback! They are indeed noisy. The noisiest tyres I have used thus far but surprisingly my family can still fall asleep while on the road, so still acceptable The dry grip's very good and I have tracked with it before without much wear hence find them value for money.

That's cheap for $160. I got them at $175/pc and for 215/45 profile only. Seems like only Hankook meet my budget if not for KU36. Thanks for the feedback!

Elmo 4th Gear July 6, 2012 Author Share July 6, 2012 diff league. he is looking for extreme performance. I know I'm maybe too stingy with wanting one that is cheap, good for track and long lasting. But so far KU36 quite fits the bill though the wet performance a bit not up to par with most street UHP. It also squeals a lot in tight carpark turns.

Please Google for their contact and call them for price. Not promoting for them, just that KU36 not easy to find so hope this info is helpful.
