Hi Ben,

Ive not used them myself however Ive got a guy who can give you a full review.Call Havers tyres, all of our tyres our outsourced through them and we have a good working relationship together. Ask for Richard, a regular attendee to The Ring,he will give you the full low down.

I know Paul Goodap was getting some of these - might be worth pm'ing him.

Yes I have them no track experience with them yet, thought at the price it was worth a punt will let you know more after the Snetterton Trackday. They seem to be a nice looking tyre, good tread pattern.

As Lloyd says I got mine from Havers Tyres.

Ben,

Pete Everett on GTR got the first set of these of anyone I know in the UK a year or two ago. He used them at TOTB on the handling circuit and from what I remember he said they werent bad, but total pants compared to D01J's and similar track tyres.

Personally I would get Advan A048's or Toyo's which admittedly are more dollar but think they give more performance for the money.

Cheers for the info. They don't actually make the size I want for the rear (255/35/18 ) so might look for something else instead

[Lloyd@JRD]

Thats a shame. As J said, the dunlops are superb, but more money. Give Richard a call, he will find you an alternative, fullof rubber wisdom :-D

I have used the Kumho Victor Racers V700s. and found them pretty decent and finished 1st and 2nd on the last two track events respectively. Sorry i havent heard of the KU series. hope it helps...a little bit anyways.

Hey Ben, they seemed OK but not up to DJ01 levels. Nismo Pete uses them.
I think they are now also discountinued, not usre what has replaced them.
