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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

This 265/75 r16 tire was purchased for the first-generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport vehicle. who wants to stand without assistance. for dacha and fishing excursions. I am quite happy with the rubber overall. I initially thought that the city's commotion would make it impossible to drive, but that wasn't the case. The noise level is acceptable up to 100 km/h, not much louder than winter studded tires. Operating mode: cottage priming on weekends, city asphalt during the workweek. The rubber performs well on a wet road, as demonstrated by operation on asphalt. Driving over a puddle that was 7–10 cm thick and 5–10 meters wide at a speed of 90 km/h on the rear wheel drive seemed to hurl the car around, but instead, it flew like a tank. Brilliantly, water is thrown out of the contact patch. There was no requirement for a very thick layer of rubber because the substantial tread caught self-tapping screws up to 19 mm. At -4, manageability on the ground. There is nothing up to 110 km/h, but after that you start to see cars. Although the speed index is up to 160 km/h, it is unquestionably not designed for such velocity. The fuel consumption did not rise after I switched to these tires from the road tires; if it did, it was just by 0.5 to 1 liter. Although the rubber is extremely supple, this season's wear amounted to roughly 3–4 mm. Since this rubber is not made for cold asphalt, I do not recommend using tires on it. The route encountered an icy patch during a U-turn, which led to an unfortunate situation. The tires were visible on the ground at a height of 5+. The rubber very readily climbs out of a rut when struck; strong side hooks help. It performs no worse than the BF Goodrich KM2 on a rough dirt road; nevertheless, it does not wash out as quickly on clay. Side emissions do not aid in washout. Even with rear-wheel drive, it handles loose snow with great assurance. The conclusion is that rubber fully justifies the cost. The operation on the ground must be at least 60% if you take rubber; otherwise, there is no use in taking it. Rubber is not for the city. Driving on winterized asphalt is not a good idea, I promise! The tires are great for the government.

Pros
  • Small self-tapping screws (up to 19mm) cannot penetrate the surface because it is moderately noisy on pavement. -100% justifies its MT quality - When driving on flooded roads, brilliantly removes water from the contact patch. - Fairly soft.
Cons
  • Very heavy; quickly wears down on concrete. (3–4 mm per season) while working with more than 70% of the time spent on asphalt.
