I would buy these tyres over the premium brands all day long. Im a mechanic and would like to say that these tyres are brilliant in the dry and very good in the wet. Not lost traction once when going round corners. Highly recommend

Would definitely recommend these tyres, although I haven't really gone far enough on them to determine durability yet.

Kumho KU31 provide very good lateral support and great grip on both wet and dry surface. Their only drawback is that they have a very thin rim protector. However, other than that, I find Kumho KU31 worth recommending - they are very good tyres which can be compared to premium classs, and are cheaper at the same time.

Good tire, to be improved in my opinion due mainly to the rolling noise, but overall good.

Kumho KU31 have never let me down, so I don't look for any other ones. They are not very popular, probably because they are not as widely available and not as cheap as they were. I used to drive on quieter and louder tyres, but it's not a drawback for me. I need efficiency, and Kumho KU31 do the job very well. I am not surprised by its highest braking and wet performance indicators. They disperse the water wery well and on dry they behave great as well. I definitely recommend Kumho KU31 as a decent tyre.

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.
