Default Review: Kumho Road Venture M/T

Just put the new Road Venture M/T KL71's (315/75/16) on my truck this past summer and got the chance to try them out in some nasty snow storms here the last two days up here in the panhandle of WV, gotta say I'm impressed! $800 for 4 of them to my door none the less! Very good mannered tire on and off the road with very little road noise for as aggressive as they are. I have a 45 mile commute to work from deep in the mountains of WV and they rolled through it all, completely untouched roads most of the way. Very good tire for the money!

I have them same tires on my 1979 cj-7. They've been a great tire, I've had them for about 2 years and they still look new and do great offroad.

I'm interested in these tires but I'm not sure about the wear, anyone have any experience?

Maybe on half tons they do better but my friend got less than 25000 on his dodge 2500 with zero towing

I'd say 25000 miles is ok for this aggressive of a MT... heck most a/t's are only rated to 30k
