Thread: Kuhmo MT51 mud terrain tyres

Hope this works

If you can blow up pic you will see the cracks it's on all 4 tyres tyre fitter asked what speed I sit on, I said it's a land rover not a race car only sit on speed limit, no real explanation as to why this could be happening, il email kumho see if they have an explanation as to why.

Try again

After the run i have had with kumho on my Fairmont and their bull**** warranty, I wouldn’t fit them to a wheelbarrow

Multiple tyres constantly going out of shape, leaking air, not holding a balance, it’s fair to say i am well and truly over the brand

Looks like stress cracks in the carcass .... do you tow? either on or offroad. The shop that fitted mine stressed that with these tyres I must at all times recognise the importance of, and always take time to use appropriate tyre pressures whilst taking into account load , speed and terrain. They particularly stressed that after offroading i should not drive any distance on the blacktop with out first airing up. It’s common sense stuff that i do adhere to and it was plain to them from conversation, my age, and truck that i’m no beginner but they made a point to say it........

I feel I have always been good with pressures, yes tow a pop top but didn't think I did that much on these tyres, pressures always re adjusted before black top.
All 4 are showing same cracks, I did email kumho, the fitter contacted me today, seems like they are a warranty job so that's a good outcome

What was the ultimate outcome, have you got new tyres, what was the reason given for the failure (ie cracks)

Sounds almost like they knew the tyre was tender? I am good with pressures but sometimes dont air up to what I should for short runs and never had a tyre crack. Also LR tyre pressures are low anyway particularly the front. I wouldn't go anywhere near a tyre that does what these are doing. Cheers
