Had my KU 31 19 's for 20,000 K's now and while I am very happy with the grip on these things, the noise is becoming really obnoxious particularly on some surfaces. When they are cold they are even worse going round corners, clear audible tyre noise on the road. At 20K's the wear appears "average" and I might get 30K out of them, but I'm wondering if anyone else thinks these tyres are just shocking with road noise. Aligned and balanced twice since new, still the same. Tyre wear is even. Edited 15/08/13 02:46 AM by Pete A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 30% sounds like the diff or wheel bearings are shot. Grip well though. The trick is smoke them up heaps then they never last long enough to get noisy.

This is on 17's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
