Review
After trying with Kumho Ecsta HM KH31, I can say that they fit perfectly well. Dueto the awkward wheel size there are very few true performance options available. Thus, I am couldn't be happier with it! The tyres are quiet with good grip on both the dry and wet condition. These lasted about 20,000 Km so it's not bad. My car being so lightg, it might be more forgiving on the tyres downfalls if it hasn't any and they may perform differently on a large heavy saloon for example, but the are perfect on my light car.

What I like
The tyres are quiet with good grip on both the dry and wet condition.

What I do not like
Great value in this expensive size

Review
A brilliant everyday tyre with outstanding levels of grip when it is of the correct temperature. Astounding performance when on the dry tarmac. The traction and subsequently, the braking performance was also excellent! The side walls are stiff enough to give you good feedback through the corners and great confidence and aggression. They are however quite noisy and are not suitable for anybody who i's concerned with such comfort factors. In the wet they are safe but not particularly confidence inspiring, I believe this is due to the harder compound. A good description would be as a high performance/track tyre for the road which gives a good idea of what they are designed for. However the price of these fantastic tyres are far more reasonable than similar offerings.

What I like
Great set of performance tyres that performs outstandingly as compared to previous performance tyres I've used. The aggressiveness of these tyres are just mind blowing. Love every single mile I'm driving on it.

What I do not like
Well, I must say the wear on this tyres are quite fast, for the fact that they perform so well.

Awesome tyres. Took roughly 800kms to really come good. At first were a little greasy, but still progressive. Once I had roughly 800+kms on them they really started to work well. Very balanced, with reduced understeer and very confident on full power out. The shoulders have stood up well considering I have done 3 track days on them. Will definitely grab another set once these are done. Yes, there are better tyres out there - at double the price! Easy decision really.

What I like
Progressive tyres that just gives you even better performance every single kilometre.

What I do not like
Limited sizes may be not of fit to all cars.

Review
Have tried this set of Kumho Ecsta HM KH31 for my ride in the past. Initially a good driving tyre with plenty of grip and seemed okay to used off road. However, early signs of fatigue appeared after driving on gravel since I usually go to Malaysia. Since fitting these tyres I have covered only 30235 km and the tyres are down to the wear limit. I drive alot on the Malaysian roads that have lots of gravel, and maybe that's the reason that my tyres wear down so fast. On normal bitumen roads, they perform great with good grip and handling. An average tyre.

What I like
Provides good grip and handling on normal roads.

What I do not like
Wears down fast when driving on gravel.

Review
This has to be the best set of tyres I've ever driven on. I had used a mix of premium and midrange brands. Have never had any scary moments with these Goodyears and always felt confident in the wet and around corners. In fact, everytime I came to a corner I used to put my foot down just to test their limits. Never found the limit because they never let go. The treadlife on this tyres too are quite amazing for the performance it gave.

What I like
Provides awesome grip, dry or wet.

What I do not like
These are slightly expensive, but for the great performance it has to deliver, WORTH IT!

Review
They were quite a few tyre models suitable for me. Have done the research online and opt for Kumho KH31. Grip is excellent in both the wet and dry road condition. Performance wise, less noise experience. For thread wise, I am unable to comment much as they have been on for less than 1000 kim yet. However, my observation for the wear is quite evenly, which is what I always hope to experience.

Would recommend this tyre model to to fellow bimmer owners.

What I like
Good Grip and less noise!

What I do not like

Fitted a set of 4 of these Kumho Ecsta HM KH31, replacing the old, leaky and worn tyres. Of course the car was transformed but like all Kumho tyres, they are very well balanced. They roll smoothly and quietly, appropriate for my Honda Odyssey! Being very heavy and soft, the handling of the car isnt brilliant anyway, but these stick to the road and provides very confident drives, it wont easily overcome the tyres in normal or even spirited driving. Off the line traction is great with no wheelspin. At high speeds there is no vibration and no tramlining, which these cars are prone too. I like Kumho tyres and these are no exception, also great value in this expensive size, highly recommended. They are also very resistant to aquaplaning and looks fabulous too. Another plus point is the sidewalls look great with tyre shine on!

What I like
Grips very well on dry and wet tarmac, along with excellent performance round corners and ultimate traction off the line.

What I do not like
They don't last all that long, since the performance is great, these tyres wear quite easily.

Review
Have been trying to research online for this set of tyres and been presented lots of conflicting info. There are quite few good features that other users mentioned, but also have some negative ones. I guess it is quite common for products as nothing can please everyone in the world.

Being a tyre frantic, I installed this set of KH31 tyres on my ride. Overall it is quite a good tyre. The grip and handling are good for the dry road condition. But I feel that the wet grip is slightly lower than average performance tyres as I experience understeer in cornering occasionally. The braking distance is excellent especially for Dry road condition. Less road noise is experience when driving in all (dry and wet) conditions.

Overall a good peformance tyre and most likely will be with KH31 when the current treads run out.

What I like
Good braking, grip and less road noise.

What I do not like
Wet grip performance can be better
