Hi All,
Has anyone had any experience with these tyres?
I have my car booked in for a new set of front tyres tomorrow, and orignally wanted the KU31 after reading good reviews. I've been told they no longer make them, and have been advised to go with the KH31.
I really just wanted to know if they compare to the KU31, they are mega cheap so I am a bit dubious. Thanks in advance.

Take a look on Kumho's website - they don't seem to list the KH31's as a sport tyre like they do with the KU31's, so I'd also be dubious.
Apparently, the KU31 is being phased out and replaced with the KU39, although Kumho don't list that on their website at all for some reason.
I ordered some KU31's from mytyres.co.uk last thursday and they arrived Monday, so it may be worth trying there if you really want them? I know Camskill were out of stock of 205/45/16's and weren't expecting any in for a month or so when I spoke to them last week.

Thanks for the replies.
I am sourcing the tyres thorugh a friend for a 'discounted' price, so I am limited to what he can get hold of. He has contacted Kuhmo and they confirmed that they have phased out the KU31 model.
I'll give these a miss then I think. As said they are not listed as a sport tyre, whereas KU31 where a 'High performance summer tyre'. Thanks again

I recently fitted the Kumho KH31 tyres to my Lotus Exige and have to say they appear to be excellent. Good grip in wet and damp conditions, obviously not as much lateral dry grip as the original Yokohama A048 tyres but not fussed about this during the winter months as it is rarely that dry!
The KH31 tyres are very quiet, provide excellent handling characteristics in all road conditions and they don't seem to be wearing very much so I'm thinking I'll get more miles out of a set than I did with the Yokohamas which are great in the dry but a nightmare if it is wet and only lasted abour 4,500 miles before the rears were shot.
They were also really cheap circa £200 for a set of four fitted!
