The Kumho PA31 replaced some Toyo Extensa HP tires on a Corolla FX16 GT-S set-up for autocross. These are strickly street tires as I run 200 treadwear tires when racing. The Kumho's are WAY better than the Toyo's. The Kumho's stick much better, the Toyo's were always a little greasy at turn-in. The Kumho's seem stiffer with the same air pressure. They inspire more confidence is turns. Ride quality for both is similar. The Kumho's are also better in the wet too! The Toyo's were made in Malaysia. The Kumho's in Vietnam. Both sets were purchased from SimpleTire along with tires for other cars. Always have top notch service from SimpleTire.

Bought these Kumho's to replace Toyo Extensa HP's. They are on an '87 Corolla FX16. The Kumho's were sticky right away. They was no greasy feel like the Toyo's (which never went away). The sidewall tread has a curve which is more conducive to handling, which I like. I was surprised how well these tires handled. I'm quite pleased! I typically run 200 treadwear tires on this car. However, it is parked outside and I need something that is resistant to freezing temperatures. The car is not a daily driver, but is prepped for autocross so it doesn't get a lot of street miles.

No problem so far. Very affordable price and runs with absolutely no issue 1 year long. I definately will consider to buy next tire with this Kumho brand as well.

I've had these tires for almost a year on my 1991 Firebird, and I would very highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a substantial tire for their car. I only drive this car in the summer, so I couldn't tell you how they'd perform in the winter, but driving in wet and dry conditions have yet to be any problem at all for these Ecstas.
