Kumho tires?

[ib_jigged]

Anyone have any experience with Kumho tires? Tirerack seems to have them reasonably priced and the reviews seem favorable. Just wondering what the good people here have to say.

Thanks,

I have Road Venture ATs on my 01 Chev 1500. I bought them about 4 years ago. I am not 100% sure of the mileage becasue I ran them on my 97 for maybe 15,000 miles before that was totalled and then took them for my new(er) truck which I have ran for about 60,000 miles. I think they have 1 more winter in them and then I will buy new ones, maybe Kumho again. The Road venture ATs on mine seemed to wear through the first half of the tread (the part that has individual blocks) in maybe 30,000 miles and now they are more like highway ribbed tires with no horizontal grooves if you can understand that description. I have a set of Firestone Steeltex ATs that were pretty much brand new on the 01 so I run those in the summer just to use them up and I run the Kumhos in the fall winter for hunting/snow since I think they are much better traction tires. Overall, I have been very satisfied, I think 60-75k on a set of tires is respectable and would not consider that premature wearing.

We have used them (Venture AT) an a few trucks and other kumhos on cars. Overall good traction and lasted about 75k with still some tread left. Good value IMHO. I would consider them, almost got them for my last set, but found some others on better deal. I am a fan off the "off brand" tires. Save a lot of money and work just as well in my experience. Good luck.

I sell a lot of Kumhos. They are great tires. I always recommend them to all my customers.

I have purchased 3-4 sets of these tires and have been happy with them.

Great value for the money.

I got a set of the ecstas on my talon and they have been great.

While I have no experience with the truck tires I would have no problem with putting a set on my truck based on my experience with the car tires.
