Had to wait for a while on them as on back order.

Just going to get them fitted now.

2x Kumho KU31 ECSTA for the rear.

CS recommended them so I have high hopes!!

See how they go.....................only paid £118 a corner from mytyre.co.uk

I must be a snob, I'd get expensive tyres for an expensive car

Plus the fact I've had Kumho Ecsta's of some description on a previous car and they were cack

iirc you said they were not KU31 MWG?

I just dont see the value in spending £500 on 2 tyres no matter what car it is!!

I always run KU31's on performance cars and used to run the EcstaSupras before they changed to KU31's..

AWSOME tyre! I've got them on the scooby at the moment and they are brilliant in both wet and dry conditions.

Ku31's are a good choice. They are much better than their previous efforts. I know a couple of vx220 owners who run them on road and track and they highly recommend them.

There fitted now

1st impression :- DSC warning flashed up when putting power down on a staight bit of road......which has never happened before. So I just turned it off while I bedded in the tyres!

They look good, if there 90% as good as pilots for half the price then i'll be happy

well theyre a good tyre both the 2's and the 3's. again though its the grip they offer, which is why theyre not massively hard wearing. id be more concerned with quality tyres on the back end of an m3 if it was mine.
