Hi guys,
I just got a quote from Tempe Tyres on Kumho KU31s and their super cheap compared to any other shops here in Melbourne so i'd like to ask if anyone had any past experience with them , good or bad.
Cheers

Tempe and Taleb are supposedly owned by cousins and they both sell oddgey grey imports.
Nothing specifically wrong with proper Australian Kumhos, but the ones Tempe sell are designed for often designed for colder north American or European climates sio often they have different grades of rubber and narrower steel belts. Narrower steel belts I am told are great for better handling but they simply dont cope with Australian temperatures and causes overheating in the tyres. My Kumho's from Tempe started shredding their sides off, my GF got hers from a family friends business and has had no worries....
Bottomline is when buying Tyres check the brands website and make sure the Tyre shop is listed as an approved dealer of their tyres, if it's not move on then!!
