There is no comparative testing of these tires with the leaders. But I think they are OK. They hold up well even at fast cornering. On wet surfaces also been problems. I have two cars on the same tires and I have no objections.

I can't say much about Kumho KU31 tyres, as I only did ca. 500 miles around the city. I bought them to drive on the motorway in the rain, and it will be there where I will check them out. However, at the moment I can say that thay grip the road nicely and the car keeps its track in the corners. At the moment, I am pleased with Kumho KU31 tyres, but I will be able to say more when I check them out for real.

I definitely recommend Kumho KU31. I have been looking for good tyres for a long time and I read a lot of information. Kumho KU31 are widely recommended by American and British users. After driving ca. 11 thousand miles, I am also happy with them - for me, their big advantage is their behaviour on wet surface. It handles much better then eg. factory fitted Michelin Energy Saver.

I wear them in my Seat Ibiza. It should be 215/40 but I put 215/45 and its OK. They grip good. Braking acceptable! They could be a bit more silent, but the noise can be caused of my low class car:) If somebody like safe driving and 17'' alloys I would definitely recommend these tyres.

Kumho KU31 behave well while starting and while braking both on wet or dry road. Predictable in corners. Very good Price/Quality ratio. The only disadvantage is their high wear. 2 seasons and I started to look for new ones (20.000miles). You cant have everything - good grip = high wear.

I have my Kumho KU31 tyres in the size 225/55R16. I bought them because they have good resutls in the tests, and they are cheap, compared to Michelin. At first, I bought two tyres for the front axle. Comapred to my previous Sunny they are way better. After two months, I bought another two for the rear and it was there where I got a bit disappointed. At the speed of 95 MPH the whole car shakes. I got the wheels re-balanced three times, but with no avail. It turned out that my two new tyres were faulty and I got two new ones. Now it's fine, but I was nervous for some time due to that. I can say thar Kumho KU31 are very good in the rain - you don't hear anything, they cut through the water nicely. I don't know if I buy Kumho KU31 again in a year or two after such trouble, but overall I can recommend them. Kumho KU31 are good tyres for a decent price.

Splendid tyres. One more evidence that the price doesnt provide quality.
