The KU36's aren't a bad street tyre IMO. I've done a bit over 9k kms on mine (235/40/18). I've done a barbs track night, Collie track day, two RAC tuning arvo's and a skid pan day with them as well. The first few times I heated them up they got a bit 'slimy' but gradually got better. How ever now they have done a fair few heat cycles they are a bit hard and don't grip as well as they used to cold.

With how I have used them it has made the 'peak grip window' kind of short, but I would buy them again if they were offered to me at a good price. I plan on giving the AD08's a shot next, and by what the majority are saying they should be a step up so I'm looking forward to it.

Thumbs up

For those that Bat the AD08's you should check out the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs as they have been tested and compared with the AD08's and there is bugger all difference except the Direzza have a 200AA wear where as the AD08's have a 180AA.

*check out tirerack.com for results.

Also the price for the Direzza is cheaper by appx $40 a tyre.

Just another option to look at for you.

I was in fact going to get a set for the 204 but I got a set of KU36's for a 1/3 of what they normally cost instead.

I've just shod my car with Hankook Ventus V12 EVO. Great tyres for the price, with pretty good reviews. Quiet, grippy, sidewalls sem quite stiff.

Interesting review here:
