Thanks mate for taking the effort to do that. After getting numerous repeat posts on tires, I was thinking of making one like the wheel thread above (but more aimed at tire brands), but my patience has really been tested lately.

So once again thank you. I have modified my sticky Wheel thread to include a link to this tread to hopefully put people on the right track.

[-DAvo]

just one thing you may want to add to this, is the load ratings required by different aurion models?

ie. ATX = min 95 load rating / sportivo = min 93 load rating

Review:

Kumho KU27 LX Platinum

235/40R18 95W

UTQG: 600 A A

KM's: 23 769kms

Fuel Economy: 11.27L/100km

These tyre have a low rolling resistance, the first thing you'll notice is that they are very quiet. (i came from using RE001)

The main reason for the purchase of these tyres is that they are guaranteed to last 60000kms (in the U.S.), with all previous sets of tyres lasting less than 32000km's, i was thinking very unlikely. Now that I am approaching 25000km's on the tyres they look like they will last to at least 50000km's.

Traction in the wet: you will notice the tyres losing in grip in the wet if you took a roundabout right turn at a normal brisk dry speed, if you did this with PP2 or RE001's they would stick a lot better. In saying that they are still good in the wet, just don't take hard bends too quickly.

The tyres are classified as a Grand Touring: All Season tyre, and that would be how i would rate them they are good for touring, but if you want cornering grip, go with Bridgestone RE001 or Michelin PP2 (superceded by PS3, so you may want to try them)

The fuel economy on these tyres are very good in relation to the other tyres I've used, it could also be due to less aggressive driving, but i am consistently getting approximately 1-1.5L/100Km better fuel rating than that of the previous tyres.

Recommended for people who want a long lasting quiet tyre.

Not recommended for people who take every corner hard.

Previous tyres:

Michelin Pilot Preceda 2 (PP2) 225/45R18 95W 240 AA A

12.47L/100km-31114km's

Bridgestone Adrenalin (RE001) 225/45R18 95W 340 A A

12.25L/100km-27340km's

Thanks for that. I was looking at getting these and tried very hard with little success. After ringing around I could only locate one store that has them.

Anyways the difference was like $80 per tyre compare to the KU31. Not sure if it was worth the difference but I like the quieter ride claimed for the KU27.

I also noticed that you are using the 235/40 profile rather than 235/45. Could this possibly be the difference in fuel economy you've been getting?

[SirNed]

Just a little update. The 07 Touring SE has 215/60R16 tyres @ 95v not 17's as per OP

[braveheart]

just one thing you may want to add to this, is the load ratings required by different aurion models?

ie. ATX = min 95 load rating / sportivo = min 93 load rating

:)

oops....

What happened if I use load rating 85W - 225-30-20 Nankang NS on Aurion Sportivo Sx6 ?

Is this really dangerous ?

[DJKOR]

I would classify that in the 'not safe' category so long as you don't carry more than a couple of passengers and a light load. That is a difference in combined load of 540kgs all round. But even if you aren't carrying much weight and think you may be able to make it, just think about your insurance. If you get into an accident, that can be used against you to invalidate a claim.

Thanks DJKOR !!

I saw the beginning of this Thread, that 8.5" can use up to 255 width ? is that true ? I heard some said that the maximum for 8.5" is 245. Please advice...

Cheers !

[Ronnyboy]

According to a Tyre size calculator The OP is pretty much correct about the 255 tyres.

Here are the results i got from a Tyre size calculator.

[UIK]

Hey guys please ignore my ignorance on this topic, but I'm not sell versed when it comes to wheels.

I have a 2010 ZR6 with Pedders suspension and 19". I want to upgrade my rims to 20s and found a guy selling the rims I want with the following specs -

ftont - 20x8.5 and rear - 20x9.5

+32 offset front and +35 Rear

Will my car handle 9.5 at the back and I got not much close bout offsets. Should I expect scrapage?

you should be good for the front, but you will scrub hard on the rear without "modifying" things

I had 19x9.5 +37 all round and i had to make the rears fit

[UIK]

Aiden thanks a lot dude. I think I'll stick to 19s
