    They're not a high quality tire by any means...I've heard mixed reviews about them.

    I've got Kumho Road Venture ATs and haven't had any problems out of them. But I only have about 6K miles on em. So far they've been a LOT better than the Cooper Discoverers that were last on my truck.

    I have the Kumho KL71's in 265/75/16" I can't comment on how they ride yet since I haven't bought my Tacoma yet but they look just plain sick. On my 16x8" Pro Comps they measure almost 11" wide.

    I'm actually going try to buy my truck tomorrow instead of waiting till Saturday. If I get it and they deliver it by Wednesday night, I can post pics of them on the truck Sunday.

    Maybe the user reviews at the bottom of this link will help.

    Good link, but according to the link they don't make KL71s for 16" rims...what gives? Where can I find a price quote for the 265/75/16s?

    I ordered a set from my local tire shop today for my 03 DC. 265/75/16 8ply version for $759 out the door. This might not be the cheapest but probably a fair price. I'm going to run them with no lift until my SAW CO's get here...

    I have the KL71's and they are great. Read alot of good reviews before the purchase and all seem accurate. Just got back from a trip to the hill country and they drive pretty quiet and very smooth.

    I'd purchase another set

    I've heard they are great tires. My father is a long time user of BFG T/A KOs. He decided to give a try with the Kumho, he says they are great. He has about 10k on his set of tires.

    I don't know why he did the sudden switch. But he says he will try new things.

    I've got 25,000 miles on my all terrain Kumhos now. Great tire considering I payed $570 for my 285/70/17 mounted and balanced. I went with the passenger tire this time to save a little on the weight.
