Default Kumho Road Venture MT KL71

Has anyone tried these tires? I checked the price at tire rack for 315/70/17 and they have a set of 4 for $876 plus $164 to ship to me but still a good price if they are any good

my cousin runs these on his s-10 and he loves them. The only complaint he has is the road noise, but when going with an aggressive tire..... I have also been looking at these, just dont know what size im going with yet. From what ive seen of KUMHO tires in general, they wear well and dont have a negative reputation. Let me know how you like them if you end up goin that route. I have to do some side jobs before i can buy mine. Early frost this year killed my money tree

A friend had them on his 07 Rubicon for a couple of months. He took them back to Discount Tire for rebalance and they could not balance them. They required more weight than allowed. They took them back and he paid the difference for BFG ATs. One of them wouldn't balance either and they are replacing it. His 35X12.50R17 MT KL71s were load range E and gave a rougher ride. They weren't noisy on the road at all.

It's the same old axiom.......... You get what you pay for!
