Kumho KU31 are not very quiet - after ca. 5000 miles their noise became significant. I bought them about 3 months ago and at the beginning everything was just fine. Unfortunately, after driving a short distance the tyres start to produce very loud rumble. After the inspection it turned out the tyres feathered. The noise in the car is unbearable and is similar to a wheel bearing failure. Because of that, I completely don't recommend Kumho KU31 tyres and I warn everyone of getting those tyres.

Very loud tyres. After 4000 miles they rumble like hell. Impossible to drive.

As for me, Kumho KU31 are very good on dry surface, but when it comes to performance on wet, they would not go so well. My car is quite powerful, but I think they would be fine if the power didn't exceed 200-250 BHP. I had Kumho KU31 installed on the car when I bought it, but personally I don't think I willbe buying them again.

I will be using Kumho KU31 tyres for the second season now. I have them fitted to my Honda Civic Type R. Compared to to Toyo Proxes T1-R they are much more durable, cheaper and they give pretty much the same grip (however, remember that you need to warm the tyre up before dynamic and fast driving). On wet road Toyo were average, much worse than Kumho KU31. When it comes to noise level, these tyres surprised me as well as they are quite silent for directional tyres. I definitely recommend buying Kumho KU31.

They grip very well on dry condition. The only disadvantege is that they rubb off vey fast . I drove 9000 miles and i think I will make only 500 mile more. Maybe they wont rubb of so fast but you have to drive slower than i did :)
