Kumho ku31's, any good?

[John]

as per title, they seen reasonably priced (£135 for 4x 195/45/15's) Anyone got some? what they like? how do they wear? :thumb:

[napalm_27]

had them on the nova and the skyline getting them for the astra aswell :thumb: get them mate

[Jack]

I believe Stuart rates them well ...lol

[Damo]

yea good tyre them mate very sticky as well.

[MK999]

Dogs danglies :thumb: Haven;t had them long so dunno about the wear, but they haven't done down below the little "ecsta" that's printed in them yet, so they're not gonna die in 3000 miles lol They love roundabouts.

[Ste L]

very good for budget tyres, more suited or rwd/4wd from what ive head, but them seemed ok on my old valver nova, not that great in the wet though

[Nova_Tek]

That's a decent price mate for 4 tyres. It wins just on the price lol

Think I have a mate who runs these although not 100% certain as the model number rings a bell. No complaints from him.

thanks for the replies fellas! Mk what size did you go for?

[Saloony]

I love them. HAd them on many a car, really happy with them

[boffer8]

Got them on the rallye on the front, good in the wet but cause a bit of understeer in the wet, as for wear ive had them on for 3000 so far and still seem to be ok so wear looks to be good, price wise you cant go wrong for a summer tyre

[Rich]

where you find them with that price/size? sure i couldnt find them or may have looked for 195/40/16s

[novanova636]

same as everyone is saying really good. very grippy!!

[MK999]

thanks for the replies fellas! Mk what size did you go for?

195/45/15's, my wheels originally came with 50 profiles on and I found the car seemed to 'float' around a bit when cornering and was generally not as sharp, so went for 45's may well have just been the tyres rather than the profile though.

Is that price just supplied? Sounds like the same ebay dealer I got mine from, ears motorsport?

[John]

Yeah that's just the price supplied, they're only 20 mins from me so i'll collect them.

[Adam]

Wheres that from John???


And yeah they are good, very good. Had them on my white one and they gripped like fook at Donnington. They didnt last long but they saw a LOT of use from a full donny trackday, and some 1/4 miles

[MK999]

It'll be on ebay Ad, ears motorsport I believe the seller is called but they will come up under a search for 195/45/15 KU31's

[Stuart]

195/40/16's are hard to get and fapping expensive compared to getting a 45 or 50.

I love em, they grip so so so well, wear great and do the wet right.

[MK999]

and do the wet right.

Yeah few people have said not so good in the wet in this thread but I've found my balls grow small before I can find their limit so far lol

[dannyb]

Great in the dry and fairly good in the wet when new, but hit 3mm of tread depth and they start to lose their effectiveness in the wet. They are so cheap though you can afford to bin them at 3mm and get new ones!

Thanks guys, don't think i'll find better for the money.
