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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should really try new tyres each time I get a pair, could have tried like ten types by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done 20 k on them and they have over 2/3rds tread left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
