Tempe and St George Tyres seems to have some good deals on KU31s at the moment. They are over $100 cheaper than anyone else i can find.

Maybe a group buy is in order? I need at least 4 and maybe 8 new tyres...

Guys I looked into this back in Feb.

KU31's in 225/45 18 have a 91 load rating... Foz needs 95...

Only kuhmos in 225/45 18 with 95 are KU27 n KU39

I have the 39s n couldn't be happier... Dont think i have even broke any traction in dry or Wet...

Tread pattern is a similar to the 31... These are rotational too!

Price $220/tire @ Tempe.... Everyone else was $100+ more.

Another option is Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra..

I found nothing under the $200 mark for anything half decent

Yeah the KU39 was another tyre i was looking at Chris, Im not fussed but. Just thought if everyone was keen on those and we where doing a group buy Id run with the 31's. Maybe not though haha. Whats everyone else think?
