you get lumpy/feathered/cupped tyres when toe alignment is way off..


 

 A few laps @ the track will do it too.

I have heard that about the KU31's when I was looking for reviews. But all the people that said they are crap bought them off ebay.

There you go, although regardless eBay or not we have customers from new, buy Kumhos and over the time they rotate/ balance/ align, they still end up a tad feathered and or lumpy on the shoulders.

 

Sorry to say guys and gals. But in that price range you can get Michelin Pilot Sport's, Bridgestone Potenza's, Continental MaxContact, Hankook Ventus R-S3 (which come very close to being a semi-slick), Hankook S1 Evo and so forth.

All of those in the same price range as the KU31's? I don't think so man... If so, where can I find them? I was quoted $140 per tyre for the KU31's at St George Tyres.

Sorry, Might i say roughly, Depending on sizes aswell yano. But wouldnt be much difference. For e.g mine are 225/45/17 $180 for Conti's and Pirelli, $230 for Michelins and Bridgestones.

Of course, mine are 215/45/18. I have been quoted $140 for KU31's as I said, $170 for Pirelli P-Zero Nero's and $190 for Toyo Proxes T1R's. How good are those prices?

 

I have no need to replace my tyres at the moment now as I will be buying something nice for my wagon in the next couple of weeks. I've managed to strike a pretty good deal to say the least.

KU39's?

[Liberty]

They haven't got them on offer for that size at St George Tyres... Not unless they haven't added it to their listing on the website. I only have the aforementioned three options unfortunately.

How much do they go for?

Yeah pretty good pricing, but then again its down to what you want.

Well if you want the "JDM" look you'll go 225/40/18 - 235/40/18. Or just normal 245/40/18 - 255/40/18 but thats all trial and error kinda thing to see if it scrubs the guards yano. Tyre wise also depends if you want grip or just chew through them due to camber. But Michelin/ Bridgestone/ Pirelli for sticky stuff or Achilles/ Blue streak/ Kenda/ Maxxis and other cheap stuff just to chew through.

Hey mate, Sorry for a late reply. You can get them repaired for around $150+ ea. Not cheap but if you wish to keep these wheels then by all means.
