i'm also on ku31 now..

 

i notice that the wet is good but when comes to dry, it rather poor compare to my previous, nexen.

always stop when i want to..

 

I am on KU36. Not 31.

Note that tyre pressure, car make, number of pessengers, state of Tarmac all contribute to braking distance.

Also I think nexen UHP tyres are not too bad

Strange....I find nexen grip much poorer to ku31.

 

Btw, I used n7000 for nexen

Yeah, probably mine are not brand new, slightly used for 10k.

 

I'm using nexen n3000, for the last 3yrs, good summer tire.

But poor aqua.

 

I find ku31 noisy level still much acceptable compare to my nexen.

Probably aged tire too

MOST driver need or expect Good grip / low noise / handling / low Price

I know is not very difficult to have all , but is still affordable for me because 1 set of tyre lasted average of 45,000km or 2 years

is worth the investment for it.

Safety is above everything to me [thumbsup]

Reasonably priced and value for money tires. Well priced and good trip. But noise level after 15k is quite loud.

 

If wan quiet tires, not really recommended due to nature of its threads

You might have over inflate the tires. I alr in 30k and the noise level not so

N bearable and no much difference from new.

i suppose everyone's tolerance level is diff, to each his own

 

After overpaying for a few sets of Bridgestones previously, i switched over to Kumho KU31... just went Soh Bro today to get my 3rd set of KU31

i think noise level is good for the 1st 5k, still ok for the next 10k..... n after 30k pretty noisy (but my wife says i too sensitive)

Tried to look for these tyres (KU31) in my size (195/60R15) recently in the last 2 weeks.. Been calling oh a few tyre shops (AL, Chen Jin, etc), but all seem to be sold out.

 

Anyone know where got stock for 60 profile size of KU31...? Seems to be either quite rare, or whole sg run out of KU31... My KH31 already past-due to replace.. A little worried...

KH is another series altogether. Not a replacement.

 

KH series seems less aggressive and should be more quiet.

ok, i think i having a set of peculiar Ku31.

 

195/45/15

 

front, i would pump 240

A kind of weird sometime was initial also air pressure loss when I pump 240 front

and rear 230 after a week but not that much as your only 5kpi.

 

After getting advise from bro. front 240 and rear 250 now 2 weeks also no problem

on my KU31 205x55R16.

KH31 and KU31 have co existed for so long, how can one be replacement of the other? KH31 is a comfort tyre, KU31 is a UHP tyre, they are very different.
