Only tried the KU31s, not a bad tyre on one of my project cars (so they were part worn, and didn't have it long), obviously not the world's grippiest tyre, but perfectly usable. Biggest downside was they had pretty good grip, then would let go all of a sudden. Also slapped them on the Rover, same characteristic, they'd never warn you when they were about to kill you . But quite a good tyre for the money (although they look to have crept up into top end of mid range now, pricewise  )

No experience of LE. Never heard of them, if truth be known.

Glad it wasn't just me, then.

Similar grip level as Runway Enduro, in greasy conditions. Ime. At 2/3rds the price.


Anyway, we have to discuss  these things, should we ignore them? Stick our head in the sand? I think not.

My experience so far is that the Enduros equal any sub-£100 tyre I've driven on. I've tried a few of those in the last year or two.

At their price, they are a no-brainer unless you are buying premium tyres IMHO. Then again, I haven't looked how they're wearing yet. Might well be down to the wear indicators.

Oh, darn! Another tyre thread.

these tyre threads are begining to wear on the inside only

Threads hanging out if my tyres is much more concerning.
