[Urbanx]

[Cypher]

[Urbanx]

Currently I'm using KU31 size 235/45R18 , any idea about KU39 size 235/45R18 ? Anyone try before ?

[Cypher]

I think it should cost abt $40 more than KU31, each. Just my guess.

On KU39, 225/50 R17 for over 2000km.

Got mine from the cinema tyre shop in TPY, but have to pre-order in advance. Compare with the online price, everything in (i.e. tyre+GST+services)the tyre shop is cheaper.

 

Performance wise, so far so good. Previously was on KU31 & V12 but find KU39 is more refine.

Surprisingly for a UHP, KU39 it quite soft and very quiet, hence not sure how it perform on cornering. Otherwise Dry and Wet performance is as good as KU31 if not better.

im using KU 31 (Korean made) 225/40/18 (heard there is Veitnamese made too)

 

and last saturday just changed front 2 to KU 39 at price S$ 180/each (from a shop in TPY)

 

spec wise, KU 31 has better wear rate than KU 39

but KU 31 phasing out i think (no stock available anymore)

 

 

 

 

anyone knows what's the 92Y (on the label) is about? (claimed better than ku31)

92 is the load rating

Y is the speed rating

still have KU31??

 

Last month when I visited the shop, KU31 is immediately available but not sure now.

Unlikely KU39 will replace KU31 since KU39 has been around for sometime but not popular due to its price.

 

But make in Korea KU31 is hard to find these day, mostly I saw are make in Vietnam.
