Kumho 275/70/R16

Tima

I had a set of 265/70 15s on a Triton Ute they had about 45K kms when i sold it a they looked only 1/2 worn. Out of the 3 sets of tyres i had on that car i reckon they were the best of all.

I would be interested in hearing other responses as i am considering them as the next set for my PAtrol.

On Saturday I was the only vehicle of 5 to stake a tyre... on a main dirt road and I was tail end charlie... It was a Kuhmo muddy

Ran them on my maverick for a coupke of years , were still in good nik when I sold the car . The new owner still has them on , its been 3 years since he has had the car

must be just me ....I had a set of AT's on a little F50 scat. I destroyed 2 sets in less than 50 K's each set. I will never buy them again.

Thanks all, I've had Bridgestone Duellers on at the moment, and was lucky to scrape 48K out of them, with no major hard driving. I got the Kumhos at a good price, so I'll see what happens.

My experience with them was disasterous!. Two blistered tyres at the Dig Tree in December in 45 degree tempetures and no-one around.
Lucky to get out ok on some old spares. I bought Coopers when I got to Brisbane and am now on my secoond set as they have been so good - a life cycle of 80,000 plus Ks.

Had some on my old Rodeo, never had a problem with them. They were pretty hard I think judging by the amount of wear.

Currently on my second set, I have been quite happy with how they have worn. I expect they will go pretty well in the sand next summer. However if you want to tackle much of the rough stuff I would suggest something stronger.
I brought my old tyres home once i got new ones on and used them on an agricultural implement which takes 16 inch tyres, best I did was 3 weeks before a blowout, I had 2 BFG a/t tyres which did over 6 months in the same conditions, now run 12 ply back hoe tyres but that is besde the point.

Had Kumho 31x10.5x15 AT's on my Surf for 4 years and got 80 000k's with a combination of hiway/offroad/sand and no problems. May have got some more out of them but had some worn shocky troubles so cut their life a bit.

Now have Maxxis and dammed noisy on smooth bitumen!!

Wish I'd stuck to the Kumho's!!!!

had them on my pajero and did 3 simpson crossings,, a trip to the cape, googs track, and half a dozen trips to brisbane from adelaide with one blowout, {replaced free of charge} and were still on the car at trade in after 72000ks, so i reckon they are ok.
