They are incredible in the snow they are noisey on the highway but I have had them a year now and the still have 3/4 tread left on the over 10000 so I figure about 40k out of them and they are a great rock crawling tire.

Have you had them in the Mud yet? I find we usually end up playing in the mud more than on teh rock when we go out.... SHould post some pictures from last year.... Usually take me about $20-$30 just to wash it out after....

Where I live it's all swamp so not one vehicle ever makes it without a winch or a tug by a strap. They dig and clear very nicely and I would recomend them to anyone. Awsome tire and they are the cat's ass as you say it. especially when aired down

I wonder why they only have the 2 sizes? Sounds like an awesome tires, but I wanted to go with 38's....

Hopefully we're not beating a dead horse.....



Anyone out there run the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 tires?



I've been reading reviews on them and haven't heard a bad thing yet but would like a Hummer owners opinion if we have one?



Thanks

I was seriously eyeballing the KL71 and from what I gather, right now they've gotta be the best M/T per $$$ right now. Those tires are a definite stand out at the moment and I never found anyone say a bad thing about them.

Yeah, I just found out that they are only 2 ply sidewalls...... Hence why they are cheaper - I don;t think they'll handle waiprous....
