I bought a Suzuki Jimny, supplied with Bridgestone Dueler summer tyres. After one year of sliding in the wet and sometimes the dry, I bought the Kumho Venture All Terrain 825 tyres. I noticed a vast improvement in the grip in the wet. They were very good in heavy rain and good in the snow due to sharp angular diagonal tread. Tread is 11mm deep when new. I have been off-road with both sets of tyres, the All Terrain tread seems to grip about 25% more than Highway Terrain in mud and about 50% more on snow covered roads. The wear rate of Kumho Venture All Terrain is not as good as other tyres but they last a long time due to the deep tread. The All Terrain tyres are not as smooth on the motorway and some steering judder is sometimes noticeable. I would say the tyres are comfortable due to the softer compound. The fuel consumption was increased but so was the safety.
