Hosaybo 6th Gear May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 I was using KU31 previously on my 17". FC no difference , grip not bad on wet and dry . Only problem the tyres are a little noisy. A little noisy is an understatement. this is by far my noisiest tyre after 25K km... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenMob 6th Gear May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 A little noisy is an understatement. this is by far my noisiest tyre after 25K km... Hahahah agreed but its valued for money. if trying to lower the noise get a higher profile , less noise i guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitvip Supersonic May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 I used S drive and now on KU31. S drive offered better grip in wet and dry, especially going through the bends. I was quite noisy but you feel confident, rain or shine. KU31, on the other hand, is cheaper. The grip wasn't so good when new. After scrubbing in, the grip was better, both in wet and dry. So far I have not encountered any problems! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberttan 5th Gear May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 the kumho ku31 is around for quite sometime. Premium product like new Bridgestone new pot re002 or new michlin pilot PS3 (agent version) is particularly way better than KU31 (if not budget issue) I think the Korean counterpart do have new technology product but not popular yet. yokos drive I can assure you the noise is very BAD but the grip is GOOD(not very good type).

Ericongy 3rd Gear May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 A little noisy is an understatement. this is by far my noisiest tyre after 25K km... I have never tried ku31 before... But I really doubt any tyres can be noisier den s drive... as I mentioned before, I am a satisfied user of s drive, but the noise is really really bad... If ku31 is really noiser den s drive... I dun think many can tahan that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberttan 5th Gear May 15, 2013 Share May 15, 2013 yes driven before for both , KU31 is not a Poor tyre in day to day driving. We need good tyre that can do more than that like Long distance , high speed and Most important the Braking Distance which can Save LIFE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
