    I never came across this brand, but they seem to grow in popularity, and they are cheaper, which usually is not a good sign of quality.

    Some feedback?

    im using khumo KH31's and find them great even in wet before i had cheap triangles on and they would spin into second gear at junctions and slide on roundabouts but to date the Khumos havent spun or slid i find them excellent and are wearing very evenly, i know alot of guys use the KU31 but i couldnt find them anywere outside of dublin but got a great price on the KH31, i would recommend black cycle tyres google them excellent rates on Khumos and other top brands

    Kumho tyres came on my Kia when I bought it new. I replaced them with bridgestone after a year and went back to Kuhmo for my next set. I drive a taxi so I put up a lot of km's. Not sure where you are based but I got a great deal from Tyreland in glasnevin ind. estate, at least 20% cheaper than anyone else in Dublin. Also they are no noisier than Bridgestone.

    Dealer put two new Ecasta Sports on mine 2 years ago when i bought mine, quiet, lots of grips and apparently great value all round. They're very popular in the States too.

    Only downside is they don't "look" the best. :)
