So was about to pull the trigger on some AD08R's when I got a great offer to pick up some 235/45R17 KU36's and while I know they are not quite on the same level of performance they are not far off.
I managed to score them for $124 each which made them $100 less then the AD08R even including the
4 for 3 deal. For those wondering where they can score this deal, it is a one off price because they were ordered for a customer who went AWOL and the shop could not return them to Kumho. They are usually between $200 - $240 from what I have been quoted, which is still decent for a performance tyre.
