New Tyres - 2009 Polo GTI

Update on the KU31's on the track (Queensland raceway)
The KU31 isn't a track tyre, no surprises there. Compared to the Conti's, there's more understeer, it's harder to be consistent and doesn't like to trail brake - so braking must be done in a straight line as it otherwise washes wide to understeer. It was difficult to get the nose in to find the apex and was less adjustable on the limit. i.e. couldn't balance the car so well between front and rear with throttle steer. I was consistently 0.9-1sec slower per lap than on worn (30,000km) continentals.

But on the street and at street speeds, they're a pretty good tyre.

Interesting, I found the Ku31's to be better on the track, but I had made a large number of changes other than the tyres and also the tyres were on 17" 7.5 rims, so not really a comparison.

I'd like to try a new set of tyres on the front, Maybe that should be my next spend (car wise).

Where and when did you get them? (as in recently?) I tried a couple of places that slammed them and quoted a MUCH higher price.
