Not sure if this is old news, but two different tyre places have told me that KU31s are being discontinued in 195/50/15 and replaced with HT51 or something like that. I note that KTAS says "Limited stock" in that size for the KU31 on their website. I know this tyre is popular so you might want to get some before they're gone.. do your own research first.

Yeah kinda makes sense they retired the ku36 as well.

I changed from these to RE002 and they are just as awesome and quieter on the highway!

Yup KU31s are not being mad anymore. Any stock around will be the last ofs.

The KU31s have been replaced by KU39s. I had the former running for 25,500kms before they were deemed scalloped, causing a loud and annoying 'whoop, whoop' noise at the back and steering vibration.

Switched to KU39s last Friday and couldn't be happier!
