I am also considering them for 7J rims on a European Fiat Stilo 1.6. Dimension 205/50R17. I just want to avoid 215/45R17 due to increased fuel consumption in the highway as well as the increased cost of the tyres. How do they hold up? I've heard some people say that they crack fast.
I have had them for the spring through fall up here in Vermont, and had no issues with them. Not sure what people mean they crack fast, as tyres usually only crack once they reach a certain age and are not really cared for. I think the original warranty is 4 years and 50k miles.
@@SterlingSigurdsen I want to fit them because most people don't find the newer Kumho PS71 that good, many have balancing issues etc. I find it strange that many report that the PS31 is better in braking than Cinturato P7 while on the latest tests Kumho PS71 comes as worst than the P7. And I cannot find any independent review of the Kumho PS31 whatsoever (e.g. Autobild). If you have anything that compares it head-to-head with any other known tyre let me know. I found a June 2023 batch of the PS31 (one of the last if I'm not mistaken as the tyre is seemingly being discontinued).
@@xynostasos9022 I find them better than my previous tyres which were the cooper ultra s asymmetrical tyres. These felt way better in the rain and dry than those. The only other really good tyre brand for the money would be Nexen than Falken. Beyond those you start to push into Goodyear tyres, Perelli, and Bridgestone price points. On a side note, most tyres are made by the same manufacturer and just market them under a different name. So maybe look into which subsidiary brands are made by Kumho.
Yeah they seemed to do well in evacuating the water from the tires. I am not sure as your car is a lot lighter than mine, but I imagine in the correct size for your car they should do well. They have a lot of grip in the corners and accelerating.
Can’t really say they were bad or good. Just like any performance tire with a Z rating. So pretty firm. Though I try to avoid potholes as they will crack rims and destroy suspensions. 😂
初めて通販でPS31を購入し、500Km程走行しましたが、今の所全く問題なく、日本製と比べて遜色ありません。柔らかめで乗り心地良いのが気に入ってます。これでライフが問題なければ、日本製と比べ半額以下なので、リピ確定です。タイヤサイズは225/40/18です。

Planning on getting these for my miata how they holding up? Are they solid in the rain

@@SterlingSigurdsen Glad to finally find a tire that has good reviews in the wet that isn’t continental extremecontacts 😀
How are they holding up now and we’ll do they perform for the cornering aspect?
So far really well. Still super quiet and grippy. I’ve put on roughly 15k miles on them
Well done review! If you see this late thumbs up - how are they on cruddy potholed roads?

HOW THEY PERFORM IN DRY AND WET BRAKING.
I would say pretty well, but I am driving a Volvo, and Volvos have really good handling to begin with.
Dry is great but wet can get sketchy without abs
hello there, is your speedo in mp/h or km/h. if you feel comfortable with wet cruising around 80mp/h with that tyre, that's impressive!
It's in MPH. KPH would be about 130. And yes the tires handle well in moderate to heavy rain conditions.
