What tyre size you running JBT? You seem to be running a few psi lower than everyone else.

215/45 17". Pressures as recommended by various sources and found to work best for me at Lakeside (PB recorded at that pressure) and on the road. The car becomes "skittish" with 36 psi cold. I understand Kumho recommend 36 psi hot for best performance. Tyres didn't go off at that pressure after 5 laps as shown by my regularity times.

Hey guys, looking to get a set of these to replace my RT215's which are as hard as a rock.

Option1 has them on their site for $157/tyre + shipping costs to get them from Brisbane to Sydney. Any place in Sydney that is around the same price?

Option1 apparently has 'the last' three KU36 205/50/15's in stock...

Three is pretty useless to me, not expecting more stock until later in the year, but couldn't get an approximate time.

If you are really desperate to have KU36's this year for track use, and your budget stretches, I'm considering selling my wheels (Watanabe) AND tyres (approx 65% tread remaining) together. I'm not asking for much (at least I don't think I am), but if you are after brand new tyres to put on your own wheels then that's cool.
