Thread: Anyone had Kumho tyres ??

I've had a set of KL78/KL41 ATs for the past three years, done something more than 40K on them still have around 5mm of tread before they hit the wear indicators.

Bought five at a go and rotating them, so pretty even wear.

Cheap, not as impressed by wear as I'd like to be, but that's mostly at the thought of forking out again. They have a few slashes from rocks, no punctures, mostly road use.

Cheers

Hey Adrian

I've got them on my 1990 rangie in the 31/10.5/15 size. They're a reasonably soft compound, but this seems to make them great offroad. They're wearing reasonably well, couldn't really tell you how many km's I've got so far, as I swap occassionally to the road tyres. The grip is great, the sidewall lugs i've found to work well. There are some pics in the Gold Coast trip reports - the red rangie.

I bought them when they were first released through Fourby's at Moorooka in Brisbane in early 06 but couldn't fit them straight away until I sorted the lift out - the offset of the rims meant the tyres touched in the inner of the rear doors.

I had the BFG Muds on my old rangie but prefer the Kumho's
