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.

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
