Review on Kumho Road Venture M/T KL71 205/80 R16 104Q all season by Micha Mitrut ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can do better.

I'm not interested in discussing the car's performance on asphalt or its gas mileage, and I can't even recall how it drove on highway tires. Since I only take the car out on the weekends, this letter is for people who will put the tires to their intended use on rough terrain. Each trip typically covers 20-40 miles, for an average of 200-300 km. Besides bezdora, it's all blacktop. In the genuine muck of Hong Kong and the surrounding regions, it rides poorly; to make it ride well, you need to bleed up to 0.5 Atm, and at that pressure, you risk blowing off your shoes. The permeability diminishes dramatically and the noise level rises with increasing wear. It clearly does not have any side lugs and hardly leaves the rut. MT rubber is comparatively feeble. After 25,000 miles, when only 7 to 9 millimeters of tread remain, driving the vehicle becomes as foolish as operating a vehicle with a weak AT.

Pros
  • The LT model's strengthened sidewall guarantees a flat-free ride for at least 2.5 years. While the new one is quiet and manageable to drive in the muck.
Cons
  • A car's patency in the mud (on actual mud, not muddy primers) quickly becomes acute and noisy on asphalt.
