Any suggestions for similar but quiet ? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90398-want-ku31-performance-but-quieter-suggestions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all noisy on certain road surfaces. KU31 rate above the ATR Sport 2's in the wet for sure once a bit worn. Still suck though.

Ihave 2 of these and 2 of the S1 Evo2's. The nobles have been on the front and they replaced a pair of ku39's and they are much quieter and feel much more stable in the wet today, but the evo 2's probably just pip them for grip but they arent as quiet but they are much quieter then the 31's. And I got them for $185 a tyre in the 245 40 18.

I should really try new tyres each time I get a pair, could have tried like ten types by now...

He has done 20 k on them and they have over 2/3rds tread left.

Directional tyres are usually nosier.
