excellent quality / price ratio, very comfortable (soft shoulder) and silent, good handling, lack a bit of precision at very high speeds ... stunning results given the price

excellent grip from these kumho tires they replaced factory fitted Michelin. they have been on my car 8 months 10k miles and have performed well in dry, wet, and all but heavy snow in both grip on cornering, and braking, will buy again highly recommended for this sector of tire.

I attached the tires with SUBARU Regacy B4 3.0R. Very quiet as same as Bridgestone REGNO. The driving feeling is very smooth like silk and the tires wrap the roughness of road, so the cabin is very quiet and at the same time the dry grip is exellent.

Have them only 3 months and done about 4000 km.So far so good.like I have 18 inch wheels but comfort it's very good tires are very quiet and comfortable for every day driving.My car is tdi so not going on the track but I think they are not for track because they are little bit to soft compound.

Dry grip is comparable to Michelin PS3s or even better due to a stiffer sidewall. Wet grip is mediocre at best, if you like wet grip stick to Michelin PS3s.

most people are interested in wet reviews so here is mine.

i drive a built vehicle with a LSD in my 6 speed shift. roughly torque of 500nm.

in heavy rain these tires grip no slip. pedal to the floor with launch control and you take off like its a dry surface. pushed in cornering no sliding.

theses tires are soft and very well priced. they are not dead quiet tires but good enough for me. i noticed the quicker you go with these the better they feel.

would buy again but note it is UHP all season tire so you decide. these are about half the price of the european brands. will be buying this brand or hankook only.

Given 81% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI MK5 (remapped 330bhp) (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
At first when my friends at the workshop recommended this tire. Being only RM400/piece I have my doubts initially plus I'm not familiar with the brand but I still make my choices to take up the PS31. The doubts immediately cleared off when took the car out for a convoy. The entire journey is about 650km with mix of average and spirited drive and I'm surprised how a RM400/piece tire perform on the road. Dry grip is good and the wet grip is fantastic. On dry road the car feels steady at high speed and surprisingly low noise and during low speed/normal driving speed, the tire is a little soft due to softer tire wall but resulted in comfort drive. But when you hit wet road, this is where the tire shines as it has even more awesome grip on dry. Normally you'll feel the car shifts to the left and right when driving on wet road but with this tire, you barely feel the tire skid and feel more in control. As for wear it's still unknown but after driving it for about 10,000km with mixture of driving (been for spirited drive for 4-5 times since I got the tire), I have to say the wear is impressive. Will I buy again? Hell yeah but I'll want to try the PS91 next but no doubt for those who wants to enjoy spirited driving but have tight budget, this is the tire to go for.

(195/50 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
The tires are comfortable but abit soft. The grip is phenomenal in dry and also wet. I go on Monthly Touge up Genting Sempah, Ulu Yam, Karak so I definitely know what i'm talking about. Taking corner you seldom feel the tire slip, just the G-force pulling your body during spirited driving.

Given 81% while driving a Volkswagen Jetta 1.4 TSI (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,500 average miles
Im using 225/45/17 on my 160hp Jetta 1.4 TSI. As a first time Kumho user, honestly i do not have much confidence. Because of the price, i give a try. I still remember on the first day on those donut, it was a heavy rainny day, the wet grip is totally different with others brand which im willing to give 9 out of 10. Its a really comfort & quite tire. I've been using the tire around 5500 miles, no issues on balancing & alignment so far. The only thing need to be improve on this tire was the road feedback feeling. Others all good above average. Good one from Kumho!
