i run about 28-30 psi in my kumho ecsta mx in the same size. any more and they have accelerated wear in the center of the tire.
I've used em a couple different times and never had a problem. They're pretty good tires for stretching too.
I've got Nankang's and i've had them for two years now (only runnin them in the summer)...They were cheap n i was broke so they were my choice :laugh: Haven't had a problem with them yet:thumbup:
on my Golf with only Koni Sport adjustable dampers and Kumho XS tires, I regularly set faster autocross times than many of the \"darling\" cars in faster classes in my local autocross events
Try the Kumho ASX. They were quieter than any other tire I've tried. Much more so than the awful Goodyear RS-As.
I ran the Kumho XS (250/50 15 on a 2006 Mazda 2) last summer and found them to be fairly comparable to the superceded Bridgestone RE01R, albeit much cheaper. I did 4-5 autocross sessions on them on top of 'spirited' drives in the local mountains every weekend. My fronts lasted just under 3000 miles to slick and the rears around double that, but I do have a fairly aggressive alignment.
i ran 215/35/18's NSII's on an 8.5 last year and they stretched well... drove them all over last season and when i sold them they were at about 70-75% tread life left... they rode good, they were quiet, and good in the rain. for what they are i couldnt complain.
We have a set of Kuhmo XS's and Koni Yellows on the way - Santa was good to us!
To me 36 psi seems too low. The tires just sit too low. I run 40psi all around on my KUMHO ECSTA 711's.
I had Nankangs on my Honda Civic (195/50/15). They were very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction. I wouldn't buy them again.
