Kumho Road Venture M/T51

These tyres have been very good. Handling on road has been good considering their more aggressive tread patern. If they are pumped up too hard then you will lose the back end in the wet but if you get your pressures right and remember your not in a sports car they are OK. Off road they jave bee brilliant. Been through some thick mud and never been stuck. Handled well on gravel tracks. They have a low hum at speed but I expected this based on the tread pattern. However, as they have worn they are getting louder. Currently at 38000 miles with 6/7mm left on them. They have lasted well and will do the summer so another 6-8000 miles hopefully.

This tire is pretty great at off road, as expected. I find that in sand it is lacking slightly when compared to some other brands I've had experience with in my past. It does well when aired down. It is at home in deep mud, and rocky terrains. It does well on gravel roads and smooth highways. It is a little bit noisey, but as expected for this variety of tire. It struggles in light snow, ice and freezing rain style of conditions. It does well in deep snow at lower speeds, however. As a more budget friendly tire, these are solid for a weekend adventure rig, camping or hiking vehicle. I wouldn't recommend these for a daily-driver unless it is a farm/ranch or dirt roads/two tracks are in your commute. If you have a newer, more modern and nicer off-roader, you might be better served with a more expensive tire if you have the $.

Comfortable tyre with softer compounds than many, minimal splitting/cracking over lifetime. If rotated and inflated properly they will last for +80000km. Very tough and hard wearing. I have done multiple desert trips on my last set and not even a puncture. Been all over the southern and northen flinders ranges, SA, very sharp, rocky terrain and they are a great tyre for this and excellent in heavy mud. Not really noticed problems in the wet unless trying to go too fast and needing to brake suddenly but performs as well as any other 4wd tyre I've used. Excellent value for the price point.

Done 22,000 miles with these on a 2017 Hilux, a good strong tyre seems to wear well. Getting noisier the more worn they are but no more than any other mt or aggressive at tyre. Fuel economy is down 3-4 mpg on the standard lightweight Bridgestone h/t. Very good in the mud with loads of traction in difficult conditions. Just finding in very heavy rain braking can be a bit interesting. Seems to work well in the snow with plenty of grip. Would buy again as they were reasonably priced.
