I have noticed a bit less grip lately, seems certain roundabouts are worse than others. The one at the airport is pretty skatey but ones in the hills are fine. Could be due to more oil on the road at the airport, more worn surface etc.

I would love to see a tyre that can hold these down in the wet though. I think it would be quite a feat of engineering. If you were riding in my car when it loses grip in roundabouts you'd agree I'm driving it faster than the average person, so I keep that in mind when I'm assessing the performance.

Roger that. you do seem to have a lead foot, and last Saturday night was good testament to that. :P

Anyways on Facesucks, there was an ad for the Kuhmo PS91 tires and how you can register for the competition to win tires for a year or something.

I registered, but haven't heard back. I thought to myself. well that would be a set of rear tires every week.

Laying the rubber down while practising drifting would be good and free. :P

Anyways I will be enquiring about the PS91 sometime this week. Since their warehouse is literally 200 meter from my work office, I might take a stroll down there and ask about the tire.

I am having this same debate with myself aswell ....

Anyone rate the Dunlop sport max that they originally come out with?

Am looking at ether another set of nexen 8000 for the rear as they hold 350rwkw ok-ish

But need to change all four so yeah need options

Well I got a call back saying that the atr sport 2 are out of stock.. ffs.....

Well I can get the N6000 for $20 more........

Or do I just bite the bullet and get the Nitto Invo's........ hopefully for the extra that the invo's cost, I get an additional 15k out of them.

Unlikely, aren't they 320 treadwear rating? Heres a set of my Invos after 18,000km. Mix of highway driving and thrashing.

Those are 235/45/17 in case it matters.

Also my bad I was thinking of KU31s as 320. The Invos were like 260 I think.
