Aidan Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey Guys, looking to purchase some new tyres very soon but im not too sure what to get. Was set on the KU31's since I've heard a lot of good things about them. Plus they are very cheap. I have however heard they are noisy?? Apparently they KU19 is much quieter however its also a softer compound and therefore wont last as long...So I've heard. Car is a daily and I need the tyres to last long. Hoping for like 30K. Anyone have personal experience with both tyres that can give a comparison? Cheers guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299720-ku19-or-ku31/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daleo Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Haven't used KU19's but have had KU31's on two cars now; not noisy, good grip wet and dry, they seem to wear quite well. Good tyres for the dollars. Good luck. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299720-ku19-or-ku31/#findComment-4981768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
enilyks33r Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I run KU31 on a R33 in 225\50x16 and 245\50x16, very happy with them wet and dry. They look they will last @30k km on my daily driver. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299720-ku19-or-ku31/#findComment-4982166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dori34 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 ive read up many great reviews on these tyres as well, much better then the 595 apparently. they are going on as soon as i wear out these firenzas.

full_stick Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hey mate, I'm looking for the exact same thing at the moment, where are you getting them cheap as they don't look that cheap on their website??? I'm after tyres for stock R34 gtr rims and was thinkin of 265/35/18 as the stock 245/40/18 don't cover the full width of the rim properly...
