Need new Tyres

I'm currently on about 45% on my Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 and these would have been the best rubber so far and even better than the P6000 prior to grabbing the F1'a at a steal for $150/tire
These KU31 are going for about $130 @ TempeTyres
Looking for options, comments.
I found this thread Review of Kumho Ecsta KU31 interesting.

Now anyone up for a friendly game ?

Hi,
I've rocked KU31's for years. They are a great all rounder. Expect a fair bit of road noise, but really surprisingly good grip for the money.
Also, they last for yonks.
I paid 100 through Tempe early this year.
Cheers,
Nik
+1 for the ku31. had them on my liberty and they were great bang for buck. $160 for 225/40/18

Forgetting price and all that - the KU31's are good tyres but they're not great.
I had Adrenalin's on before them and they were far better in the wet and dry, and were barely louder than the KU31's.
The Dunlop SP's which I had on my car when I first got it were also more grippy than the Kumho's, although they were distinctly louder than all of the above.
My only major gripe with the Kumho's is that when parking and in low speed maneuovers (lots of steering lock), they are loud and send vibrations through the car. It might not be as bad with a gen3 (not sure), but it definately sends though noise and vibrations through to the cabin of my gen2 when I'm trying to park or doing a u-turn. Other than that, I wouldn't hesistate recommending them but for me personally - I'd happily pay the extra revert to having Bridgestone RE001's next time around...
i think thats your car
the kuhmos are at least $50 a pop cheaper than the potenzas and will last much longer. they are a great street tyre.

I don't know what it is but thats its only downside really.i think thats your car

But yeh overall its the best tyre I've had because its cheaper and wears slower than the other tyres I've had. Yet I still prefer the Bridgestones...

KU31s would be about on par with Eagle F1's.
They're average tyres.
Kosti.
Man up.
Buy some real tyres.
Oh yeah.
That's right.
You're car is slow.
S'ok.
and alexxx - why aren't you blowing your horn about Falken FK452s?
Finally realised they're shit? (like I told you two years ago!)
they are good tyres. but the kuhmos are cheaper. they are in the same league.
