I use these on my Citroen Saxo VTR daily driver and they are great tyres. They are grippy in the wet and dry and as an added bonus are only £48 each fitted.

I drive a 1.8 16v 02 Laguna and have found these tyres to be an excellent purchase. I replaced all four corners at same time for a cost of £239 bought vea ebay and fitted for free as I have a mate that was kind enough to fit them at his garage. I am a partially sporty driver and I do many twisting and winding Scottish roads and every now and then I go in to a corner a bit fast but tyres give good feedback and inspire confidence. The tyres I got are XL extra load ones which was recommended by people on Renault forums to help protect rather soft 17" alloys, and did firm up ride a very small bit but made for a sharper cornering, and allow me to haul grater weights safely.
I found tyre pressure made a big difference but I now have 33PSI front and 30PSI rear and this works well for me.
I like how this tyre was developed in the UK, they cut though wet roads well, road noise is very low after 500 ml run in esp on motor way and good road surface, some rim protection and look nice, all in all very good value for money.
A happy driver.

I had these tyres on my 3 series E36 m3 and they were fantastic, they lasted about 16.000 miles which shocked me considering the price of them, I now have them on my bmw 335d and this set is proving to be as quiet, comfortable and durable as my previous set, I've tried all of the so called top brands and i have to say that price for price these are unbeatable, and they're even better than some of the so called quality tyres.
With fuel costs rising i, in common with most people have to make cuts where i can, and these tyres represent an absolute bargain.

Very fast wearing on the rear of my Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI. Previous tyres were Goodyear Eagle NCT5 and lasted 30,000 miles. These Kumho tyres are down to 3mm after just 10,000 miles and for that represent poor value for money, especially as I'm a fairly gentle driver, enjoying full throttle only very occasionally.

After having these tyres on my ST170 they were a natural choice to replace continentals on a ST . All i can say is these are a great performance tyre. The Focus will easily top 150 mph and acceleration and cornering shame prestige marques. These tyres stand up to the punishment over and over again. I also drive high performane golf gti`s , Audi`s and Bmw`s fitted with O/E tyres I expect no less from Khumo. 6 friends have know taken my advice , saved money and discovered what great tyres these are.

Fitted to rear replacing the original Sport Contact2. Very impressed with the quality for the price, wearing very well.
Have just ordered 2 more to replace my fading fronts.

I bought some KU31s all round for my MX5 mk2. Really pleased with the result - tyres make a big difference on such a light car. Excellent grip wet and dry (maybe too good - so hard to get the back end moving now!) and quiet too (appreciated in a little rag top on long motorway drives). Can't comment on longevity yet to be fair as about 5000 miles in. Can't help feeling that these have been designed and built on the same budget as the big brands and that only the marketing spend is missing. Heartily recommended.
