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 :)

I don't recommend Kumho KU31. I bought them and one of them turned out to have a manufacturing fault. The car was swerving to the right, making the drive a nightmare. I had them exchanged during the complaint procedure for tyres from another manufacturer and I know I will not buy Kumho KU31 again. This was jus too much.
