Hamburger Hypersonic April 17, 2009 Share April 17, 2009 As someone else has mentioned here b4, KU31 will be slightly noisy after about 20k mileage. My 3rd set of Ku31 is already 30k mileage and 17mths now. Thread left still a lot except that you cant see the ESCTA print in the centre of the tyres. On heavy rainy days, wet handling is still very safe. Dry road still as good but slightly noisy. Like to find out do you all change tyres when its noisy or when you experience hydroplaning on the roads, or when your pocket allows? Cheers Orac my Ku31 last mi no more than 30k.....feels nervous under rain as thread is 80% done. either i m too heavy or kup too much ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orac Clutched April 17, 2009 Share April 17, 2009 Thanks all for ur valuable advise. I'm on 45 series 17" too. Just by looking at my thread depth... really seems to have more than 3mm left. Maybe I will measure the thread depth tomorrow. Hardened rubber or not... a bit difficult to gauge leh... coz I dont know is it becoz the road I travel daily is so uneven (and have changed so much over the mths) or my ku31s have really turned into plastic! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klasse22 Neutral Newbie April 21, 2009 Share April 21, 2009 I have been using KU31 (Made in Korea) for 1.5 years and have no regrets. Just went back to the shop for tyre rotation and was quoted $78 per pcs before GST. This price is for 195/50/R15. Anyone interested please let me know. Also the boss told me he does not keep stock and will need to order. Finally, this tyre will last me around 50K km. Normal driving on normal sedan. Is this considered lasting? Yo bro, how much is 195/55/R15? Can check for me? Tks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrari7 Neutral Newbie April 23, 2009 Share April 23, 2009 A short field report of the Ku31. Currently on kumho ecsta spt ku31 with rim size 205/55r16 Got a chance to test out the tyres yesterday evening on my way home during the heavy down pour. Was driving along Mandai rd and I turn off to the rd leading to mandai zoo (no car heading that direction during that period of time) and did a acceleration test (90km/hr) in the rain and it just cut thru paddle of water like tofu with good hydroplane resistance. Did a emergency brake stunt and was surprise to it ability to stop in a short distance. Impressive grip in the extreme heavy rain conditions. Hi sonicmood, May I ask if your 31s are Korean made? How much and from whom? =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfballstick Neutral Newbie April 23, 2009 Share April 23, 2009 wait till u try f1 asym german i can corner faster now than my prev csc3 I was comparing F1 asym (MIG), CSC3 and Michelin PS and my research seem to point towards F1 asym as a good all rounder in term of grip and braking (dry and wet), noise, comfort and cost. As user of both tires, what is your take? Also, any comment on roll resistance, FC, and wear? Lastly, mind to reveal the tire size and cost of F1 asym.
