Kumho KL78

So, i think i am fixing to pull the trigger on these in a 285/70/17. They are like 142 ea from tirerack. I like the tread and the actual look of the tires. I mostly drive on the pavement to and from work with the off roading coming around the hunting season, aka now. Plus they are super affordable. What do ya'll think of the look of the tire?

I've read a lot of good reviews on Kumho tires, but not that model. They do look nice.

MY cousin is on his second set of those tires and I think he got about 45ish out of the first set. His second set is wearing at least that well. His don't look that good, that have dressed up the sidewall recently.

I've had those tires on (35s) for a little while now. Although I don't do a lot of driving they have worn very well so far. Additionally, they look 100x better in person than from a picture. At the price I got them for locally they are hard to beat. I'd say go for it. I'd post a pic of them on my truck but all my pics were in the old photo gallery and I think they are gone now (?).

Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10
I have these on my truck.....actually, my OEM tires were also Hankook. We are having our first storm of the season here, and these tires are handling great. There was a spin out on the highway right in front of me. I was able to slalom around the other cars braking and cut right through the big puddle that was causing other cars to hydroplane. I guess Hankook is the new Firestone, since that is what Ford is selling their trucks with now. I've even got people trying to buy my slightly used OEM tires.
