Korean comfort tyres

[Iiiusion]

Although the price difference between Korean and Jap tyres is quite wide, quality wise, I don't think Koreans are that far off.

 

But I'm looking for comfort tyres. Got any Korean brand with something like Bridgestone GR90 ?

 

Take Hankook for example, like only have grippy, noisy tyres only.

[Kspchew]

[Hiphiphoray]

Hrrrrrr.........toa payoh ind park tyre shop got ex-stocks on KU-31.

 

225 x 45 x 17 = $145/pc.

 

Dirt cheap compare to my previous GR-90.

Nexen(Roadstone) N8000 is very popular with Malaysian drivers.

 

Are they available here?

I ever saw N7000 tyres on a close up look on a car with 17 inch.

 

The threads looks quite nice, but dunno good or not

Since we are on Korean tyres, will like to add on to the thread. Hope you don't mind.

 

 

My tyres are due for change and recently I am also considering which one to go for. My last 3 sets of tyres were GR80, V8RS and K415.

 

Grip - V8RS > K415 > GR80

Quietness - GR80 > K415 > V8RS

 

Next up I have narrowed down to either KU31 or stick to K415. Has anyone used KU31 and V8RS before and can help me to compare the noise levels?

 

V8RS became very noisy after doing less than 20000km IIRC. My current K415's noise level is still bearable even after doing 45000km.

 

Since I have already used 2 sets of Hankooks, I will like to try out a different tyre this time. ALso Hankook's sidewall seems to be rather soft. One of my tyres burst beyond repair and I had to replace it when it was still fairly new.

This price reasonable. I saw a Hankook shop near to Jurong IMM. Not sure if they can give better price. I need 215 x 17.
