I use the bridgestone adrenalines too and they are one of the best tyres for price i've used.

I have the older KU31 and they are awesome. KU36 are the newer update, and I'm looking at getting these when the tyre size I require becomes available.

If you are after these tyres there is a good deal going at option1 at the moment.

Thanks for the link. They are less than half the price of the Falken's I was very close to buying. Worth it even if they are crap!

believe me, they are not crap, i've been running those tyres for the past 3 years. much better than dunlops, bridgestones, maxxis, goodyears. hence why i'm so happy with the prices they are offering.

No worries, any savings starion owners can get is always a bonus.

project r - do u find that the ku36 have a soft sidewall or is that normal?
