Just a quick update on the ku36s.

Havent really scrubbed them in fully yet (have done about 500km's on them).

But Im glad to say under the semi-hard cornering I have done they are very smooth. Has given me a lot more confidence.

Cant compare them to other tyres as Ive only had Maxxis Ma-V1's as a previous tyre...and they aren't really comparable....they're just shit. Period.

Will see how they go 1000-5000kms

Finally placed the order with the Tire rack for 2X 265/40/20 and 2X 255/40/20 for the old boys car. Had some dramas with dads bank saying that the numbers were incorrect from the tire rack. Turned out that it was the fucktard at ANZ with her sausage fingers.

They left the Tire rack on the 23rd August and just left Singapore for WA 1 hour ago.

Amazing service by the Tire rack.

Thanks to all for recommending them to me.

I am looking at purchasing some tyres from Tirerack but was told by Rudy that they could be a year or slightly older.

Do you think the age of the tyre is important ?

Also did anyone get slugged brokerage or other fees for there tyres ?

Depends on sizing, 235/40/18 average between $209-230ea depends
on who you get them from.
