On my second set - 10,000 miles on the front of a hard driven, FWD van seems like decent wear to me. Far better than commercial tyres (other than wear) good in all conditions (except snow)

These tires are great for day to day driving and to offer a tire midrange performance when you need it! Kumho have come a long way!

I am currently using the second set of Kumho KU31 tyres and I am sure I will buy them again. In my opinion, they are as good as factory fitted Michelin tyres, and when it comes to behaviour on loose surfaces, they are even better. They also give you a greast safety margin. Therefore, I recommend Kumho KU31 as a decent purchase.

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.

Apart from a bit of vibration around 100 Km / h for the rest I can say it is a good tire given the good price at which it is offered.

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.
