Just had 4 of these fitted to some new wheels for my Astra VXR (225/35/19). I was a little worried as they seemed too cheap but after reading a few reviews I thought I would take a punt. So far (only done a few hundred miles) they are great, the grip in this damp winter wheather is great, I have fairly worn Toyo's on the front and they would let go at even quarter throttle in the damp but these dont (Then again, being new I would hope they wouldnt!). I have also chucked the car round a few tight bends and the car feels great, to find the limits of these tyres on the road you would really have to be going hell for leather or driving like a loon. On the dry days the tyres grip very well and seem to be handling the 290bhp with out any issues. So all in all I am very happy with the KU-31's. Very cheap for once dosnt mean poor quality. As for ware its far too early to say. But Conti Sport contacts lasted 8000 miles, then the Toyo's lasted 10000 miles so I am hoping these might last 15000....... we shall see. If the prices stays low I am sure I will be using them again.
