What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[kapowww]

Yesterday I hammered the heck out of my guards in the rear and now there's no more scrubbing on the tyres! Honestly I was frustrated that my tyres were getting torn up so it looks a bit ghetto where the arch meets the rear bar but at least I'm saving my tyres now.

When I get back from my overseas trip I'll spend some money on getting the guards cleaned up..

I can finally drive hard again and take advantage of the 4mo yo!

I had 4 new tyres fitted today. I bought from St Geroge Tyres and had then shipped to Brisbane for fitting.
I had so many people tell me that at the price they would be

• Counterfeit
• Not to Australian standards
• Old Stock i.e. many years old
• Wrong load rating
• Will take weeks for delivery
• Too good to be true

I ordered on Wednesday arvo, tyres arrived Friday morning.

Well I can say that they are exactly what I wanted, the tyre shop where I had them fitted was impressed with the price.

Kumho KU31 224/40 R18 92Y Manufactured Week 11 2011
Tyres 4 x $139
Shipping to Brisbane $75
Fitting 4 x $28
Disposal 4 x $5
Total $763

The best price I found locally was $280 per tyre fitted or $1120.
So anyone looking for new tyres and would like to save $90 a corner should consider St George.

I always buy my tyres from St George, easily best priced in Australia

I bought the Kumho Ku31 2010, good tyres but they wear really quick. I went for the falkens this year

Totally agree. I got the same tyres from them in Dec. KUMHO KU31 (ESP) 225x40x18 92(Y?) Except..

$140 each.. FITTED & BALANCED!
$580 for all 4 wheels, fitted & balanced, including a set of lock nuts! Beat that anywhere else!

Hey Njay,
how long would you say the KUMHO's lasted you? in kms is the best I guess. Or say 100km/week for 16 months?

[Njay]

15,000km, had them installed during service, and the fronts were gone by the next service

[leighaus]

thats pretty crap. considering the KU36s get around that and are a much better (softer and semi slick) tyre, maybe you had suspension issues causing wear?
