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.

Re: Kumho tires?
 

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.
