good tyres for the price

published

The tyres have good grip and for the price are excellent. I have fitted them to an Audi A3 Convertible and the
performance of the car is excellent. I would get these tyres next time new tyres are due without hesitation!
The original tyres which was Dunlop Maxx Sport are double the price but similar in performance

A great tyre in all conditions

published

These tyres were my first venture into the Kumho brand and I have to say they are the best tyres I've had on my 23 year car. I've done 25,000 kls on these and I believe I'll get 40,000 kls easily. Grip is excellent in wet and dry and noise level is excellent.

Quiet and Comfortable

published

Terrific Summer tire for everyday use. They're very quiet & comfortable when you want them to be yet deliver the shear 'grip' that any Summer tire should when you need it. they still deliver adequate wet traction. Very good value, in my opinion. very happy with the purchase of these tyres.

Great Tyres, value for money

published

Purchased 4 tyres from tyresales.com.au and got a great discount, ended costing me just over $700 including wheel alignment. Kumho Ecsta are great, used to have Michelin's before but in all honesty can't see any difference, actually would even go to saying that Kumho are slightly better when it comes noise.

Solid performers with all weather performance.

published

Solid tyres with a great level of road noise; able to see a noticeable reduction in the Highway Josie at cruising speed. Grip in dry is fantastic with no evident loss of traction and exceptional in the wet. Wet grip has been a concern up to now and the tyre set have been fantastic in the rapidly changing conditions. The older set was prone to tram tracking at the lights (ie falling into he ruts made by trucks) however the Kumho easily steam rolls this over and provides pinpoint stopping. No great differences in the ride quality as these are not hyper sponge or soft tyres and I am keen to see how these were long term. An overall solid and high performing tyre - great purchase and a brand I'll keep in mind.

Great value & performance

published

After using ku31, the 39's are definitely a better tyre. Especially in the wet, much less wheel spin & cornering more confident. They are quieter also. A great alternative if Bridgestone performance tyres are out of your budget. They don't look as aggressive as other performance tyres but believe me they are great.

Good price and treadwear, decent dry grip, but nowhere near Japan/Euro rivals on wet

quality no comprimise tyr

published

I put 2 on the front of my polo gti, was a quiet, grippy tyre that hung on well on hard cornering along the bangalow lismore nsw road.Did not squeal.
Will definetly use them again

howling low profile tyres

published

Wet and dry grip performance are fantastic as a spirited driver but the road noise from the 215/40/17 xl rating is unbearable the howling that comes from the tyres is beyond anything ive ever encountered.I had the car checked out as it was that loud and came back ok ;its down to the grip pattern to channel water away and give u the grip required.
fantastic grip
the noise on the low profile tyre unbearable

Cheap, quiet and just as good

published

Replaced the 18inch Continental tyres on my 2007 Mercedes E350 Avantgarde Sport. These are frankly just as good, ride better and are also quieter (although my Contis were pretty old and this hard). I think these are not particularly well rated against the Michelins on the track, but in the real world it is more than enough.
Quiet and inexpensive
Not as good at nine-tenths.

Tempe Tyres are parallel imports, hence the cheap price, you won't get a factory backed warranty from Kumho.

Kumho KU 31 245/35/20 95Y

published

I had these tyes fitted on my 08 ssv and i was happy with the overall performance, both in the wet and dry, They are what I call predictable. you could felt when they where going to let go and this was an important point on when to replace them, if you do not rotate them they can become noisy, I got 35000 kms out of the set that I had, and they where just on the limit. the treadwear marks.
Comparable with the more expensive tyres. ie Bridgstone, they are X3 times dearer.
The tyres where predictable

Hi Donna, I’ve had no such problems with my set of the KU39’s . So far (5000km in) they are performing well.

No such problem Donna.. your salesman probably didn't have them, were trying to sell you something else. Other good tyres are Bridgestone, Dunlop,
