Tempe tyres are selling 245/35R19 Kumho KU19s on eBay for $179ea plus freight. Has anybody dealt with those guys?? Quality of their stock ok? Any advice appreciated.

I can vouch for there price/quality and service. I have purchased my last 3 sets of tires from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very noisey and aren't that great. I can get achilles atr 2 cheaper and I would choose them over the kuhmo's any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Taleb but they didn't stock them when I bought so I went to Tempe and they were great. Mine were 2 months old....

Brendotec New Member 14 Member For: 11y 1m 29d Gender: Male Posted 29/10/13 08:47 AM Author Share Posted 29/10/13 08:47 AM Thanks for the replies everyone!So, the ute had scrubbed out Sp Sport Maxx on the front and Achilles 1's on the back when I got it 2 months ago. All were made 2010. Achilles on the back were purple and full of hairline cracks, useless in the wet. Swapped the Dunlops to the back, and they actually have some grip! Seems the Achilles rubber has gone off, Dunlop rubber still ok.I priced up Kumhos, ku19, ku31 and ku39 at 2 Bob Janes, one does the tyres for my workshop, checked my local to see if see if the first lot(my service advisors son) were ripping me! lolKumho Ku39's were $320(trade) at the place I deal with at work, and all Kumho's were $300 at the one near my place(didn't even ask for trade discount) Also priced up Altenzo Sports Comfort at both, $145 at first place(trade) and $176(retail) at the second Bob Jane.Would rather some Kumhos over the Achilles and Altenzo's, so will check out Taleb tyres for a quote too!Thanks for all your help!
