Kumho tires?
 
Anyone have any experience with Kumho tires? Specifically LT225/75R16
VENTURE AT KL78 OWL E. I have a chance to pick up 4 for $350 plus $90
shipping. Or should I just stop being cheap and get the BFG All Terrain
A/T KOs (same size)?

Never ran the Kumho's, but you just can't go wrong with the BFG AT.

Ditto. And there's something about a bird in the hand. And why weren't
these tires good enough for the seller?
The tires on my '89 Thunderbird are more aggressive than these:

Re: Kumho tires?
 
I always used to run Nittos on my Cobra, I tried Kuhmos the last time I
bought tires because they were considerably less expensive for the same
tire.
My experience was that they were pretty good tires.
They were't as "sticky" as the Nittos but they did hold the road pretty
well, didn't wear as fast and held well on wet roads.
Keep in mind, these weren't a tire for a Jeep, they were low profile go-fast
tires on a low slung hot rod,but all in all, I would consider them again for
the same application IF I couldn't afford Nittos.

I haven't personally owned them, but a few friends have them on vehicles
I frequently ride in. The AT is a decent tire, and the MT seems even
better. The MT is a nice quiet tire considering the relatively
aggressive tread on it. If you look on www.tirerack.com you can read
reviews other people post about the tires also.

That web site has them rated higher than the BFG All Terrain T/A KOs.
And the reviews from users are very positive. Tomorrow I'm going to
check prices at the local tire shops. If they're close I'll buy them
locally. Thanks.

Re: Kumho tires?
 
I ran a set of Kumho 13s on my VW diesel. They handled ok, but wore out
fairly fast comp-ared to other tires i have run, but I drive hard on
mountain roads.
They squealed on corners my firestones didn't.

I would take tire rack's survey with a grain of salt, most drivers wouldn't
know the difference, and new tires always are better than worn out tires.

Re: Kumho tires?
 
Those tires are the "825" series. I'm looking at the KL78 line. A bit
more aggressive. The MT series is really aggressive, but since this is
for my '04 TJ, which is my only vehicle, road noise is a factor. Also,
since I'm retired, cost is a factor. And compared to what I'm using now
the Kumhos will be a definite improvement.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=014

It would seem the seller is a tire shop/auto accessory dealer. They
usually don't get too attached to the items they're selling. :-)

LOL! I agree. I check the wear bars on what I'm running daily. At best
I've got a few thousand miles left and I don't like getting that close.

LOL! I agree. I check the wear bars on what I'm running daily. At best
I've got a few thousand miles left and I don't like getting that close.

Re: Kumho tires?
 
A friend is running Kumho tires on his Caprice wagon, I don't know the
model of the tire. From what he has told me about them their a great
tire, they even put up with the abuse he puts them through ran 75 km
on a flat once @ 70mph. Wasn't till he stopped for a pee break that
he noticed something wrong. He had the wheel and tire inspected and
the tire plugged and it still in service today. (

them through.

I've had a set of the Kumho Venture AT-825s for about 2 years and like them
just fine on and off-road.
