Kumho Ecsta KU31

If anything these tyres inspire total confidence in dry conditions, testing them to the traction limits in the wet on country routes - great fun! feedback from the tyres is quite good comparable to Yokos but a lot cheaper.
They are reasonably quiet on motorways cruising at a tad above the legal speed limit :)
These are the best budget tyres ive ever bought, ill be buying these again!

These are an good budget tyre but lets leave it as that, some reviews on here comparing them to Michelin, Contis and Bridgetsone make me laugh, as they are no where near them in terms of performance, dry and wet grip and handling etc. They may up there with the durability but thats it, I have these on an Honda Accord and im easy going driver mainly in and around town and ocasionally when I do put my foot down these tyres perform AVERAGE.

Fitted after reading good things on owners forums and yes great tyres for the money. These are up with the best for £70 a tyre these are a steal. No way would i pay for Michelin , Pirelli or Goodyear. As much confidence as when using expensive Yokos on prevous car. These tyres have taken me across Europe and taken mile after mile of 130 cruising.

This is an update on running on KU 31`s all round. The last set fitted to the front were not balanced correctly however they still inspire great confidence for such a competetive price. Shortly before the Ku 31`s were replaced by Falkens they were truly tortured on a old airfield trying to get comparative data on g force generated in cornering. Holding a steady 45 mph whilst on a representation of a roundabout the Khumos did start to squeal but just gripped and gripped, the Focus was able to generate more cornering force than O/e equipped Volvo V70 r , Volkswagon Passat and Golfs and varius BMW`s. It was only the Evo x that topped the cornering force. As you`d expect.

Very please with this tyres.
I had before Pirelli P6000 (I think this was the model) and very disappointed.
Definitely recommended!

Good looking, perform well, lasted on front over 20000 miles' but very noisy. One of the four had a particular fault, I had new wheel bearings and several trips to Audi re noise only to find it was the tyre.

very good tyres.before had pirelli p6000*.the worst ever had.no grip on wet horrible road noise and prize is far much to high

Dry grip much better than I expected. Easily as good as Goodyear Eagle F1 I had before at more than twice the price. We have had no rain in the last three months (God bless Australia!) so can't comment on wet grip. Have done only 2000 km but tyres look as new with little or no wear. Very very happy so far.

Excellent dry grip, slight understeer in the wet around roundabouts but I exeperienced the same with Michelins which these tyres replaced.
Comfort good, feedback positive. Quieter ride. Just about to replace my rear Bridgstones which now suffer from heel and toe wear with KU31's
