Just bought new tyres
Went for Kuhmo KU39

Looked on here and I had UniRoyals last time so I thought Id try these
They are the replacement for KU31 which received good feedback

And they're cheap!


Getting my alloys and repowdercoated next week. So they should be on midweek

I got the catch from eBay.. I believe i typed something along the lines of 'wood push catch and strike'

Update on the KU39 tyres.

They're better than Hankook S1 Evo, Uniroyal Rainsport 2, Pirrelli P Zero Nero & Yokohomo Parada Spec 2.

They're great in the dry and wet, I can't yet comment on the wear, but they still look brand new after a few thousand miles.

And they're only £50 a tyre

sounding like that, you can't really weigh up why proxes are twice as much.
