kumho road venture at kl78's

$107 a piece from tire rack...


Anyone running these?


A friend of mine has them on his dodge diesel, but he doesnt wheel it and his have a 10 ply sidewall...



I'm going for a 265/70/16....


What are your impressions of them?

I have them, but havent used them off-road alot. I cant say that they are the best tires, when it comes to grip, on ice and deep snow, although i havent had a chance to try any other brand, cuz they never seem to get worn out....

one of my uncles runs them on his '05 Z71 in the 285/75/16 size and they perform well for the type tire that they are. we went through a good bit of red-clay type mud in hunting season and they did pretty good as long as you kept a steady speed

tires

well man here is my 2 cents. i believe that cost=quality a majority of the time. so if i were lookin at a 107 dollar tire i probably wouldnt expect much except to save some cash. if i were you i would go with toyo open country's either M/T or A/T both are true works of quality engineering, and work great in any conditions. i have both sets and love them. hope i was of some help

Cost vs quality is way over rated. I haven't seen many Kuhmo ads in magazines, but there are tonnes of BFG and Toyo adds. Ads cost money. You get what you pay for some of the time, but take Toyota vs. domestic. Toyota started off being "cheap" and well made.
