And every other bike for that fact that's been on it. With having a BF though I could leave bikes straight and tie tail up at about 30-45 degree angle.Mine and a mates was the same.. he put 2 bikes in his bf with the gate on a angle I could only do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the KU39 and let me know how they go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a street legal semi slick. Better alternatives to the KU36 (but more expensive) are the Yokohama AD08 or Hankook RS3.I'll be trying Nitto Invo out next personally.

Previously was on KU31 & V12 but find KU39 is more refine.Surprisingly for a UHP, KU39 it quite soft and very quiet, hence not sure how it perform on cornering. Otherwise Dry and Wet performance is as good as KU31 if not better.Maybe have a read through here on the KU39shttp://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Kumho/Ecsta-KU39_2.htmMain complaint seems to be the wear rate.
