Totally different tires to the ku31. All reports I've seen have been good and tire rack got very good test results.

I thought that offer finished at the end of July?
I've never had them but people seem to rave on about them.

Ku31 is like a budget / midrange performance tire ado8r is close to the top of the true road tire range.

I have on a Clio and and evo and rate them.

Will be getting them for my na6

They on a totally different level to the Kumho's

They have masses of grip and handle track days fine, I know one person who has done 15k and four track days and still has about half tread left.

I got them in 195/50R15. I love them. They're really surprisingly good in the wet, much better than the RE002s. You really have to be pushing things very hard to be able to lose traction in them.
