Normally im not one to bash products but i will say this. DO NOT BUY KUHMO ROAD VENTURE MT. i have a 01 edge w/ fabtech lift. i got the kuhmos in 32/11.5r15 and they royally suck. i have about 13k on them and they are about 75% gone. i had my bfg mt's for 53k before i replaced them. they are a total waste of money even though they look cool as hell. soon as they are done im throwin on 5 more inches in front with 35x13r18 toyo's. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up

If you want a tire that will wear well on the road, get BFGs. They suck in everything but snow. But they wear great on the road.

also how much do really epect from a tire that costs 85 bucks each brand new? Yes I may bay 165 bucks each for my BFG ATs but I consistently get 60K-80K miles out of each set. If I want a tire for offroad I will throw a set of cheap muds on some cheap steel rims and not expect them to last long or ride nice because they are not designed to do those things anyway.

now a better question, how were kuhmos offroad and in the mud?

What?

The Toyo MTs last forever...
most guys put them on fullsize trucks, wipe them off in a hurry commuting and then bitch at the shop they bought them at,i see it all the time.rangers are lighter but can scrub tires fast too.for 200$ each they better last forever,i don't think i'll ever get any.

I've had the same Kumho's on my Ranger for over a year before the lift and thought they were great. They were awesome off road as well as decent on pavement. They're currently on my buddies exploder now and still have lots of life left, easilly over 60% tread. I put 34 SS LTB's on, and within less than a 100 kilometers on them I ran a frikking broken beer bottle right through one. (frikking asshats that like to smash their beer bottles out on the trails should be shot)

it doesnt matter how crappy the tire is, if it is 75% worn at 13k miles there is something else wrong, most likely alignment.
