Great tyre, amazing price! Needed to replace the two front tyres (OEM Dunlop SP Sport Maxx) on my 09 Lexus IS250. Rears are a different size and still have a bit of tread on them. Didn t want to spend more than $380.00 per tyre but if the tyre was good enough I could push tha ... Needed to replace the two front tyres (OEM Dunlop SP Sport Maxx) on my 09 Lexus IS250. Rears are a different size and still have a bit of tread on them. Didn t want to spend more than $380.00 per tyre but if the tyre was good enough I could push that. Australian pricing is simply absurd compared to what you can get overseas. Don t get it. My priorities were tread life, noise, comfort/performance. I drive a lot of highway kms per year and wanted something that would last, quiet, and would perform when I needed it to. After two weeks worth of research, it is very hard finding a well rounded performance tyre. My choices were the OEM Dunlop Sport Maxx, Continental Sport Contact 3, Kumho KU31 and the Michelin Super Sport. The Dunlop is a 240 tread but research didn t really have many good things to say about this tyre plus they are noise. Continental SC3 was nice but tread wear was reviewed as being lower than the rated 280. Word is that it s a good tyre but not worth the asking price. Kumho KU31 was great, price quiet and good tread life (320), Ultra High Performance Tyre and surprisingly good reviews. Short listed. Michelin Super Sport won as the best all around tyre and best in class on Tirerack.com so I went to a couple shops to purchase. Everybody I talked to raved about this tyre. Everything I wanted but super expensive! Sorry must pass. Passed on the Michelins because the price was just stupid and went to purchase the Kumho KU31. Tyrepower down the street quoted me the KU31 s as $215.00 installed. They couldn t get me the KU31 but would I consider the KU27? Let me research it. After researching it I was sure this was the one. Amazing tread life (600!) extremely quiet, great performance and comfortable. Had them put on and am extremely happy. Super quiet, everything I asked for. I m glad they recommended them. The road noise was cut in half and although I still have the rear Dunlops on making noise, I will be changing them sooner than they need to. They are only new and I will review them after a few thousand kilometres.

Would buy this tyre again.

Simply a brilliant tyre I have just replaced a set of 225-50x18 s on my Toyota Aurion that have done 50,000k and there was probably a few more k s left in them. They have been the best tyre I have ever run on any car I have owned. They are quiet, comfortable, long wearing ...

Khumo KU27 I fitted these to a VE Commodore, 245/45/18. I do roughly 100000kms a year so go through some tyres. I rate the KU27 better than a lot of high end tyres I have used before. Durable, incredibly quiet and comfortable good for more than 100000kms. They ...

Excellent brilliant tyre. I put two on the front of a 2003 camry in early 2010 (replaced the dunlop sp300), and immediately noticed the difference. Quieter, more stable, beautiful to drive on wet or dry. I have been told to expect a life of around 50-60 000km ...
