Happy to offer any info I can guys, and push the Kumho barrow Wont bag any other products though. Every tyre manufacturer makes some good and bad ones.

V70A's only have about 5mm when new. And thats only in the 2 centre grooves. The rest of the tread is even more shallow, about 3mm. I was going to get a set for my own car, since they are street legal, but changed to the KU36's when they came into the country. A little more friendly for day to day use. I think you might be thinking of the KU31's.

The 888's are a great tyre. But a lot of guys say they dont have a long life due to their soft compound, especially on heavier cars. The V70A's have better life expectancy, but thats also determined by car setup and driving style. What class do you run in and what car?

The V70A's are a good tyre. I know a few guys that use them, and wont use anything else. But to get the most from them, you need a comp suspension setup. KU36's are much better for everyday use on a street car that does track days.

Hi guys, great site, even for a 180B SSS owner RE the Kumho KU36's. First track test was at the Phillip Island 6 hour this year. 215/45r17's fitted on a Mini Cooper (current model) They ran Kumho V70A's last year on the same car with the same driver. The KU36's were nearly 3 seconds a lap quicker on sat practice. Be an ideal tyre for a reasonably standard (not full race) suspension setup. Great in wet weather too. And they are 100% street legal. And yes I work for Kumho
