hello everyone,

Just bought a set of kumho ku19 for $290.00 ea fitted & balanced with free punture repair and tyre rotation every 5000km for the life of the tyre (on kumho official website they are RRP $555.50). question is has anyone else used these before and what do ya reckon? i've done a search and there's not much on these tyres.

What size?

Sounds like you got ripped.

i got 275/30/ZR19, did i get ripped? or is that price ok?

[Moodles2]

For that price, you could have gone with KU36's per corner for maybe alittle more (forum sponsors!)

[Hibino]

Yeah Option 1. I spose 19's are still going to be expensive no matter which way you look at it.

Go for the KU36, really grippy in the dry but not so in the wet, anyway who drives fast when it rains....

I have done around 10,000ks so far on a set of KU36's, they are noisy as f#*k, sound like 4wd tyres. Great grip with predictable handling wet or dry.

when deciding it was either ku36 or 31 i've read alot of opinions/review and most said for street only driving ku31 was better than ku36 (which grip better when up to temp). i don't track my car (plus this cold melbourne weather) so i chose to get the ku31 but when i went to get my tyre they only had ku19 in stock (didn't wanna wait to order in needed tyres badly as all tyres were getting bald) had a quick look at kumho website on my phone saw that ku19 rrp was more than rrp for ku31 so i got the ku19 fitted. hence original post about ku19.
