I had them on a previous car and they were quite grippy. I wanted to get them on my current car but when I needed them they were out of stock. You may need to make sure they have stock first as I was told that there had been issues with supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people swear by them!!Sumitomo HTR Z III Tyres Reviews Australia www.sumitomotire.comIf I were you though, I'd order from tirerack in the USA.I've onto my second set of 4. Deliver in about 10 days to your door. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric are my choice for the street.For similar cash (and with the current exchange rate), you could get something a lot higher quality like Advan Neova's or Bridgey Re11's!!!!Tire Search Results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 3m 13d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 12/05/10 12:47 PM Share Posted 12/05/10 12:47 PM (edited) I ordered a pair of 17 inch KU31s delivered to my door for $300. They hold the stock power nicely, most I could get was a 1-2 chirp from them and only if I shifted just right on the ZF. Excellent value at $150 each. Should be able to get 19's for less than your quoted price! just noticed the width you are chasing - might put it up a bit.

The site doesn't list prices for the 31's now (email/call them) but I'm going back to them first when I need another pair, or KU36's if I decide to go that way. So cheap I can't NOT look at them. Very helpful via email about the types of tyres and their intended purposes too.If I could have picked them up myself over east it would have been $250! Shipped to WAWA land to my door for $50 the pair. Edited 13/05/10 04:23 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with gst, delivery etcRetail on the F1's was around $600 ea. in Australia at the time.On the site you can't use your credit card though. I had to email one of the reps individually, go to the bank and do an international transfer.Do the sums, but in the end it was cheaper depending on the rate. I think another user here Des Flurane buys from tirerack too.PM me if you need more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There prices are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
