New Kumhos

[therangersteve]

What do you guys think, 110 a piece from Discount tire, with the certificates it was about 600 out the door for 31x10.5

I had these in a 235-75-15 on the rear of mine for bout 6 months , surprised me how good it pulled in mud with open 3.27s till I would set the rear on the ground

I briefly considered those and the KL61 SATs before I settled on the Hankook Dynapro ATMs. They cost a little more, but the seem like the best balance for what I use my truck for.

I almost had a set of those (I think the KL-41 are the same) after ordering Kumho Road Venture AT 825, and got sent them instead since the 825's were discontinued.

My choice went from Kumho Touring A/S 795 (cheap), to Kumho Road Venture AT 825 (good reviews but discontinued), to Kumho Road Venture AT KL-41 (sent in place of the 825's), to Firestone Destination A/T (salesman mentioned that the Michelins were just a bit more), to the Michelin LTX M/S.

I either read online, or heard somewhere, that since there is no main center tread bar on those Kumhos (KL-41), that there might be an issue that the tire won't track, so they are prone to wandering. You notice anything like that?

My next set of tires might be the Kumho KL61 SAT...

Only issue you will get with that is increased noise. The center tread is mostly for noise issues and to direct water for resistance to hydroplaning at speed.

Good luck with those SATs, they are selling like hotcakes. The reason I decided against a set was because no one had them in stock anywhere near me, so I would have had to pay more for shipping.

I haven't had any issues like that so far, currently they're at 35psi so they ride pretty nice. For the price you couldn't beat them, even cheaper than a decent set of 235/75 which is what I moved up from. Discount Tire gave me no issues, except that their computer said that I had to have 16 inch rims, but that was an issue in their system. Overall I'm really happy with them so far, we have had some rain and icy weather and they have performed well.

 

[sportblack99]

What was regular price on them. I'd get them if I could get them for 110 a peice

 

[therangersteve]

That was the regular price when I looked it up online at discount tire. Walked in with the sheet and that's what they had in their system in the store too. In an out in about an hour. Worked out great for me.

@sportblack99-What size rims are yours?

 

[sportblack99]

16". I went to discount tire yesterday and there's in stock size (255) were $145. Pricks wouldn't put 265's on it. So I told them ill go elsewhere for my tires.

Tirebuyer.com has the kl78 for 146 with free shipping, I just looked them up for ya, 265-70-16

I've orders from them before and been very pleased, ordered a tire Monday morning at 8am and Tuesday at 1pm they were on porch

By the way therangersteve, your ex looks nice with those tires on it, wish my rig was that shiny

 

[therangersteve]

Thanks. Next step is to black out the rims. Also went up to 40 psi and I'm liking the change.

A black billet grill and different lights would set it off in my opinion, and the black wheels would be awesome too, thought about painting mine
