Kumho KU31 - 6.0 Monaro End of Term Tyre Report

[kjmac]

Hi chaps,

Back in October 2008 I had Kumho KU31s fitted all around:

I've just had Event Tyres out again to replace the rears after over 14,000 miles of wear and they still had 3mm left when they came off. I'd had no issues with traction, I just thought that it was about time to swap them. The fronts look fine.

In that time I've had plenty of fun including the odd donut, hoon, hitting 160MPH at VMAX and erm the drive to work and back.

Prices have gone up however. I originally paid £538.99 for 4, but have just paid £308 for 2...

I'd recommend the Kumhos without reservation for those looking for an alternative

That sounds like a pretty good wear rate

I had some ona n Omega but sometimes found them slightly dodgey in the standing rain. (may have been earlier Kumhos)

Ive had Kumho's on a Cav V6 saloon, Astra Coupe and most recently my old Mazda RX8 (which had bridgestones previously) great handling capabilities, good wear, well priced and reduced road noise. But will be replacing my Pirreli's with the same as they are coming in at a good price now, helps being in the trade also

I'm willing to give these a go, if you recommend them, when mine expire. Black circle are doing them for £132 each unfitted at the mo. Pretty good price.
