Kumho KU31 look nice on my alloys. The ECSTA mark on the tyres looks very effective but it wears off after a few thousand miles (on the drive axle). Very quiet tyres, they drain the water from under the car like crazy. Perfect sports-class rubber compound (only the best tyres have a compound with the addition of silica). I am very pleased with them. Kumho KU31 are underrated but they are frequently used in Dakar trucks and in the US. It's worth to look through Kumho offer. They have a huge variety from slicks to go-kart tyres, car tyres and terrain tyres.

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.

Very good grip in the corners. Tires very quickly have poząbkowaniu.

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.

excellent quality / price has 27000kms forward with a rather nervous behavior and still not changed in the back More 3000kms. a noted change in the front as smooth on the two sides of the tire but still slightly above the witness on the tread I increase the pressure of 300g tire compared to originally see the new mounted train.
