Running 4 brand new ku31 on little kenari 14inch rim. As my comparison is subjective, and might be bias a little since i m comparing it with old silverstone stock tyres. Here's my finding after 300+ km.

1. Side wall of ku31 seems softer than expected. I hv to pump 32psi front, 30psi rear, otherwise it's just too soft for the front tyres. Should i say it's about the same side wall strength as silverstone.

2. It has more grip in dry, but not sure about wet yet. Corner well, stop well.

3. More noise generated from ku31. Don't know how much, but i m sure it's noticeable difference at cruising speed of 80km/hr and above. Below that, it's quiet.

As long as it's within 3%, it's ok.
What's has your friend does drive crazy sometimes got to do with your tyre changing? If there's any reason, get a better set of tyres.

yngwie,
ku31 is all good for now other than the noise part. But being cheap, i can't complain much. It's cheaper than the PP2 by RM 60 per piece.
Didn't check out v8rs though.

There's 1 in pj old town. Jalan Penchala.
Uptown, the row behind standard charter bank.
Another 1 facing LDP in uptown.

Why ku31? Not looking for others?

Prefer comfort n silent.

For Honda city 2014. Think 185 is a little small.
