They kind of remind me of a swamper in a way, and they look pretty aggressive at the same price of a BFG Mud. After I get the truck running it will need some rubber and I'm deciding between this tire in the 31 inch flavor or a 32x10.5 TSL Radial.

it's a decent tire, for the price I would go with the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain.

Mind if I ask why? The Kumho (sp?) looks more aggressive and is right about the same price. I've had BFG muds and while being a very good tire, and having an incredible lifespan, I do want something more aggressive (Don't get me wrong they were my favorite radial I've ever paid full price for). Im not really looking for something with an incredible longevity, but more for something a little more aggressive that is a radial for highway miles. Noise is not a concern nor is life span.

The Khumo's look pretty aggressive the only downfall I can see is that the inner lugs seem a little bit close together, like all terrain in the middle with mud terrain on the outside. It looks like they designed this tire to be aggressive enough for mud but as quiet as possible on the road, with that I think you will sacrifice off road performance. Just my opinion. I think your next best bet for a more aggressive tire besides the BFG's are probably a swamper radial. I would be inerested to see how the Khumo's perform though.

I work for Discount Tire and it's just not a popular tire. The BFG is a great tire, the Goodyear is another good one - comprable in price.

I had a set of MTR's for a short time and they seemed to be a little more expensive than even BFG's. I don't think I could make a decision unless I saw a Kumho in person, as I've had some swampers and know what they look like. Amazing how a picture doesn't do a tire justice. Also not interested in how "popular" they are but how they might perform. There has to be someone on here that's owned those tires.

If I recall correctly, http://www.tirerack.com has some reviews written by customers (take them with a grain of salt) and they were mixed.
