Kumho MT KL71 or Cooper STT MT

I have had a set of those Kumhos on my truck for 35k. They are getting pretty worn down now but still aren't to the wear bars. They are about a medium in the noise dept. but remember to rotate them every 5k or they won't be for long. They will cup.

I could easily run the Kumhos rest of the summer but I got these waiting for some 285/75/16s.


I am going to an AT nad I got it narrowed down to about 6 now; Hankook Dynapro ATs, Cooper STs, Kumho KL78s, Nitto Terra Grapplers or maybe even try some Treadwrights.

 

^^ nice.. im having a headache deciding.. coopers are winning but i cant easily rule out the nice looking kumho MTs lol.. i just got my wheels yesterday and im getting more anxious lmao. bump! i wish i could try both haha

 

so i went with coopers! lets see how i like em

 

x2 on the s/t

I have them in 255/85/16 and love them. They're a little over 33" tall and about 10" wide. They've been great for the 2k miles I've had them.



This one is on the stock suspension:


Edit:

Nevermind, I see you made your choice lol. A good one too, good luck.

 

The more I see it, the more I love the pizza cutter look.

Too bad they don't make the Kumho in 255x85R16s.

 

both are beautiful!

 

Wrong skippy.... Cooper and Goodyear are the only 2 manufacturers solely in the US. Michelin and BFGoodrich have several plants throughout the country, with their US base of operations in Laurens, SC. Hankook and Bridgestone are other brands that have production plants in the states, but have plants internationally as well. And if you really want to be picky, BFG and Michelin have more american based plants than both goodyear and cooper

 

Guess I shoulda put "Based in the US" so you didnt get so up set. Sorry for the future grey hairs.
