kumho road venture M/T reveiw

Just a quick reveiw on these tires from my point of veiw.
315/70-17 on a 17x9 procomp 98 series steel wheels
http://www.kumhotyre.co.uk/images/kl71.jpg

I've had the tires since march, they have about 20,000 miles on them(and plenty more to go). The only down side is they are dirrectional so rotation is limited to swapping front to rear. But they deffinatly look badass


So i finaly had some snow and slop to drive threw. It was only three inches so nothing killer, its still snowing so we will see when i leave work. They performed excellent in the snow this morning. breaking wasnt bad at all. I didnt need 4wd for most of it. Much better then my old cooper discover A/T

On dry pavement they are much quieter then i expected although they are getting louder with age. My dads mastercraft courser c/t tires are louder then these for a little comparrision. The on road handling isnt the best but it is a tall tire, i have a body lift making me a little top heavy, and i didnt buy it for on road handling. Also they dont realy catch rocks so theres no anyoing tapping when you return to pavement.

In the mud and offroad they are great. It is the first M/T i ever had so i dont have any real world comparrison but when i went mudding with my boss(black 2011 f350 in my albums) i was able to go anywhere he did and he almost got stuck when we stopped to chat but i pulled right out. His truck has a procomp 10 inch lift and 38x13.5 nitto trail grappler M/T.

Over all im satisfied with them. They have been a great tire and at less then $250 a peice (i paid $990.00 with shipping) i would buy again.

Hope this helps someone in their quest for new tires.

great review i was torn between the all terrain kumos and the nittos and wnet with nittos mainly due to lack of review on the kumos.

Yea i had a hard time finding anything about these tires. Ended up getting them because of price but i think it was worth it.
