Author Topic: New tyres for my Honda Prelude (Read 915 times)

Hi,
my name is Antonio, I'm new here, so first I say hello to everybody.
What I'm asking here is just an opinion because there could be more than one answer.
I have to change the tyres of my Honda Prelude 2.0i and I can choose among theese options:

Nankang NS1 V
Kenda KR10
Kumho KU31
Hankook Ventus k102
Kumho 712

all 205/55 R15

I drive in all weather conditions, I'm not a fast driver but I like to "drift" on roundabouts(I'm not sure this is correct english) so I think I need tyres with a hard side.
That's all.

Thank You.

Welcome to the forum Antonio!

It really depends what you want from your tires. I dont have any experience with the Nankang or Kenda. The Kumho KU31 Ecsta SPT is a wonderful summer performance tire that is replacing the 712. It is a well priced moderate performance tire. It is a little more expensive than the 712, but definitely a big improvement. Better wet performance, better dry handling, quieter, better turn in. If price is the major factor then look at the 712. If you want all around fun and good value the few extra dollars for the KU31 is well spent. The K102 is an all-season performance tire. If you want something in this catagory well priced, look at Kumho Ecsta ASX and Falken ZE-512.

Thank you so much.
Your opinion really helped me. I think I'll try the KU31, as you suggested.

KU31 is a nice tire. Let us know your thoughts after you have had them for a while...
