Mid Range 19s

[veczar]

Need 4 new 245/35 19" Tyres. I chew them up at the track somtimes and general driving so am not going to spend $500 a corner for the PP2's.

What are peoples opinions on:

KU19 or KU31 kumho's for arounf $300.

OR

Hankook K104 for a about $340.

More interested in people who own these tires or better suggestion for 300-350$ a corner.

Thanks Guys.

A couple fo the boys just put on the KU31's Phoon and GT and their pretty happy with them so far.

I've got the Michellin's yes they are not cheap but still a great tyre.

is the ku31 better than the ku19?

there's one level up from the k104, not sure but I think they're k105's. ive heared good things about them and they dont seem to be too expensive.

I'd be going for the new Falken FK452 before Kumho and Hankook. You can get them in 19" for under $300.

I thought about the Huhmo's.. I did a Google search on them and found that a lot of people weren't happy with them as they had problems with the sidewalls being too soft. So I opted for the Falken's. Cost $320 a corner for 245/45/19. They are an excellent tyre in both the wet and dry. Hope that this helps...

I bought 245/35/r19 tyres on monday, I got the dunlop sport maxx, they might be a little out of your range though. the falkens might be an option for you

When we upgrade the wheels on our Turbo Territory Ghia, we fitted up 275/40/20 Hankook Ventus tyres.

The wagons more a cruiser than a bruiser.

The Ventus are almost as quiet as the factory tyres and seem to hang on pretty well, and price is reasonable as well.

I went the K104's in but in 275x30x19, paid $360 so will be a bit cheaper for the 245x35's. Jax's tyres were the cheapest. I must say they are very quiet for a low profile tyre and quite good grip. I have noticed on these cold mornings though a bit more power with the cold and a bit less road temp makes em a bit slippery. I running 320rw though so its certainly workn the tyres.
