Might be better if you told us what Khumo tyre you are specifically asking about, then somebody with experience with that tyre could give you their opinion, but if you just want to know if Khumo are any good then I'd say they are a decent tyre brand, you could do a lot worse.

They will go on the back wheels. Vredestein on the front.

I've been using KU31's and they seem ok. Wear rate is ok and they are grippy enough.

Just ordered 2 for the back wheels. £64.00 each, not bad price.

Vredestein on the front.

i'd personally avoid any KH series. KU's are a much better compound, the KH is a very hard compound, last forever mind, but thats because they dont grip anything lol

Been doing a lot of motorway and country lane driving in this wet weather.

No problems with tyres.

had em on a lot of my cars and now on the ibiza, cant fault em at all tbh they did a good job of containing the rear of a nearly 300bhp rwd nissan so they're more than adequate for my fr tdi lol
