    Yep.
    I've had these for 20k... loved them at first but now that they are below 50% tread they are seriously loud and IMPOSSIBLE to balance. Had 3 different shops try numerous times. The vibes are VERY bad. Took them off a couple of weeks ago because the vibes were too much for me and put the stocks back on. Truck rides soooo smooth again. It was all in the tires (thankfully). I'm searching for some good AT's now.

    On a side note; I am keeping these for an off road set, they are outstanding in off road conditions and heavy mud. Plus they look pretty awesome :)

    DO NOT get these for a DD.

    I also have the kumho Road Venture. 265/70/17. I've had them for about 6000 miles now. They perform extremelly good on mud. (i kinda expected that since that's what they're made for, haha). They don't make that much noise when new but as they wear out the noise starts increasing. When i bought them, the seller recomended to rotate every 5000 miles and have your truck aligned and balanced. Otherwise they will wear very uneven and FAASSSTT... So far, i love 'em. And i like the looks. The price is not that bad too. i guess you just have to keep in mind that it is a mud tire and you will not get the same performance with the kumho mT in paved roads. So far i haven't had any bad experience with my kumhos.

    I looket at the ratings before i got them and if i remember correctly theyre not that good for snow. but hey, as you can see i already tryed them on snow and i have no regrets. there's obviusly way better tires specially designed for snow, Road ventures are not, but they did a good job. Also my Taco is a 4x4 so i had traction with the four wheels .

    Yep.
    they are a mud tire... not good in snow. Had them on all winter in upstate NY... It made the drive more interesting but the safety factor went way down :D
