not sure, im hoping someone on here can hopefully tell me...but ill ask at the tyre shop tomorrow anyway.
Didn't really want to buy 4 new tyres and im not sure how many people want just 2 235/4... etc etc

is 235/45/17 too wide for a gc8? will it affect turning circle etc?

Ran the KU31's on my old 18's. Handled great in the dry, and adequately in the wet.

I think i got about 20,000kms out of them when i sold the rims. Probably werent far off replacing, i guess. Maybe another 5,000.

Hmmm... when you say adequate in the wet is that based on spirited driving and also the km's you got out of them did that include some track work also?

I have got a price of $205/corner

OR KU23's $179/corner

I had a set of Continental sports before my current tyres and would definately recommend for wet and dry. I think they were around the $310 mark for 215/45/17.

Yeah, sorry, adequate when pushed. Understeered a bit, but i'd suggest that had more to do with my cars setup (or lack therefore) rather than the tyres. More than capable for everyday driving in the wet.

I paid $250/corner, but that was a year or so ago, so that sounds about right.
