GREAT... quality Crap as, and grip... nope far far far to hard!!!But again, not the 36 so not sure... If they are anything like the 31's... forget it!

I like them and will be getting them on the circuit next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as sticky as an R spec semi slick but stickier than just about any road tyre. More similar to the 595RSR than the MT's. MT's would be better for drags. However at under 20psi the KU36 may be ok at the drags as I found the sidewalls not as stiff as a usual circuit focused street tyre like the Falken Azenis, which may help traction at the drags.You can find the KU36 really cheap if you look hard enough which make it a good choice.

Merely just saying of course they arent as grippy as a true racing tyreIts like comparing apples and oranges.
