Just changed to Kuhmo KU31
 
I had been debating with what new tyres to put on my car but finally made my mind up and got new tyres fitted today down at GW Autoserve in Ipswich ( GW Autoserve Ltd ) ... thought I would try the Kuhmo KU31 as I had heard a lot of good things about them. For my Seat Leon 20VT this is (unfortunately tied to running Toyo on the Scoob)

Anyway the guys fitted and balanced them whilst I was busy doing other stuff and came back to it nicely sorted along with a new MOT - perfect job gents :thumb:

Drive back was fun in the slimey conditions but I have to say that I am very impressed with the tyres... the road noise is down, but feel from them is very good compared to the Pirelli P6000 on there before and grip was way better. Compliant but grippy as anything.

Anyone considering a really good all round tyre would do well to consider them in my opinion - I reckon they probably work out cheaper than the Toyo T1R too for cars like the Subaru although GW Autoserve would need to confirm but they were great value in the size I required. 205/55/16

Yeah the Kuhmo KU31's have good grip and traction but the mileage aint the best on them. Id rather pay the bit extra and get T1-R's or Goodyear Asymetrics (more mileage and better handling)
