Excellent 4 x 4 tyres
After years of using Toyos, which are good tyres, I recently purchased a set of Kuhmo Road Venture A/Ts in Light Truck format.As soon as I drove the Delica, I was astounded by the road noise, or rather, the total lack of it. I live in a valley that gets pretty muddy and the Kuhmos perform very well in the slippery, slushy conditions here.I have tried them in soft sand, gravel and also in the wet on road.They perform really well on all of the surfaces I have mentioned. I use the on road 4 wheel drive selection in my Delica in the wet and in sand, and the centre diff lock 4WD in mud. Highly recommended tyres, It will be interesting to see the longevity of them as well.

Good tyre life
Originally had 4 fitted. Was pretty lazy with getting them rotated. 3 tyres probably have another 10 000km left in them but 1 is down to the wear indicators. 80% on road and 20% hard offroad. 70 000km and ready to be changed. For the price and milage im putting them back on.

A great tyre for the price
The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that NO tyre is perfect in all conditions - however the KL78 goes very close. I have 265/70x16 on my Patrol with a 10 ply option. I have now approx. 30,000 hard klm on them with a mix of towing - wet - off road - mud - sand - touring and never been stuck any where yet and handling is as good as one can expect for any tyre on a heavy 4x4. Yes I have managed to get them to slip in the wet but any other tyre would have done the same given the situation & conditions. With sand/mud they need to be lowered to about 10 psi as the side walls are so solid in the 10 ply version. Even towing a trailer in the sand no problems. General off road dirt/rocks I lower to about 18 PSI and have not staked a tyre yet. It looks like I will get at least another 30+K out of them before they need to be replaced.

Great tyres!
I bought my 4x4 with these fitted and was skeptical as I didn t know the brand. We went on a really long road trip a few weeks ago and they handled great. Low noise and good drip in dry and wet. We went offroading this past weekend and they were taking me straight through where the guys with muddies were getting stuck. I am totally impressed.

Premium tyre for budget price
I have had these tyres for 2 years now, and absolutely tested them to their limits on my old 2.8 Hilux, and I cannot find a single fault. They re quiet enough on road, unstoppable off road on beaches, sand dunes, general trails and the minor amout of mud my car sees. I go 4wding with a patrol on 35s and there s no where he can get grip where I cant. In comparison to the dualers a/ts my new car has the kumhos out perform them in every way for half the price, safe to say when it s time for wheel upgrades, this car will be seeing a set of kumho a/ts too

Quite a good tyre at an affordable price
I bought four 31x10.5x15 Road Venture tyres for my Nissan Pathfinder from Bob Jane Dandenog. They are pretty good on bitumen especially when dry and wet handling isn t too bad as well. Ride is pretty smooth and comfortable. I have done a few kilo meters off road as well. Can t complain about any thing. Although would like to test on sand and snow later. Finally I wouldn t expect any thing else for the price I paid, $ 165.00 each.

Happy
Picked up a set of these after using bridgestones. So far I am pretty happy with the tyre. Very quiet compared to my previous tyres and give better handling. Best part was I only paid $170/e at Bob Jane. Havnt had them long to test out how they wear but so far it is promising.

KL78 LT Construction
Running 275/65-18 in LT construction. Paid $1700 for 5, fitted and balanced. Used on daily driver and sticks to road wet or dry and reasonably well offroad too. Have spent last 3 days driving on flooded roads and car didn t budge once at speeds of 50km/h. Not once did it aquaplane. Car also has Active Stability Control so helps out in the wet too. So far done 10 000 km and tyres still look like new for around town/highway driving. Great option for the price, Cooper was double the price and Kumho still gave me 90 000km warranty.

Terrible
i have these brand new tyres fitted to a nissan patrol wagon and have tested them over 2 months. they are a waist off my hard earned money and would not buy or recommend them again.i don`t have enough money to replace them and fear for my life when it rains and can not lend my vehicle when it rains.at $230 a tyre they were way over priced for their performance.

Kuhmo KL78 - so far so good
I m sorry but I have had a set of KL78 s in 265/65/17 on my Pajero for around 18,000k s now. I just cannot reconcile these other comments about wet performance. I drove a fully laden Pajero around Tasmania last April in very wet conditions including through the floods in the st Helens area and they were perfectly safe at 40psi. Did not skid, aquaplane or otherwise fail to handle these conditions. I have found them to be very quite for an A/T configuration and have driven them to the Grampians, around NSW and through Vic, throughout SA and up to Blanchetown at the end of this week with very little apparent wear. They have been rotated once so far. I have not even bothered to refit the other rims with the original HT s because I have been so impressed with them. At $225/corner they have been very good value so far.

Good tyre in all conditions
Had these on in 235/85R16 format for about 10,000 Klms. Have used them on road in the dry and wet, and off road down to 12PSI. I really can t fault them. They are quiet and perform well in all conditions. I have taken them over some rocky terrain and on the beach and they were fantastic. Good tyres at a very reasonable price.

Kumho AT KL78
Continuous 4WD owner for over 30yrs, these are Great tyres, best I ve had on the Jeep, main standouts are they are also the quietest tyres I ve had on it, and still with aggressive enough tread for the bush, and they brake well in the wet, I know other people say this is not true for them in the wet, but I suspect it could be their car not the tyres. Very Happy with off road, road, and wet, but mostly love that I can hardly hear them, and at half the price of the big brands. It would be hard getting me to go to something else.

Good tyre for the price
Pajero, 235/85 16 LT 10 ply tyres, no abs or traction control except the right foot. Various trips including NT, corner country and the flinders. Have done 365,000k in this car, and various makes of tyres (about 4 before kumho), and these are the only ones I have gone to a 2nd set. No they are not perfect, no AT tyre is. But good average traction on bitumen (wet and dry) and in the rough. Air down well for sand. Play the pressures to suit the conditions. Do squeal a bit when pushed hard on dry bitumen, but at that stage the 85 series are tucking under.
