Has anyone used these (Kumho KL71) tyres? Are they any good?
Any thoughts good.
Looking at putting something on my L200 soon.

I have got 4 x forsale at the moment. Great tyre in the rivers and rocks and good in mud. The reason im selling is because we do lots of mud up here and i have gone to simex.

If you want new, and your in CHCH talk to Rick at 4wd Accessories he does a good price on them.

Check Ricks comments on them here http://www.4wdbits.co.nz/RickCrosbieKL71.pdf

Cheers mate
Yup i'm in chch and I know Nick who works for Rick at 4wd accessories. That write up on them seems good. I wonder what they'd be like in regards to road mileage?
I know the Kumho rep who comes into work and can get a good deal off him.

Good to know. What is the sidewall like for both strength, and for bagging? The usuage in the river, did that cause any damage to sidewalls with scuffing against roacks?

I gashed two on rocks on the coast. Stuffed them entirely. I found they wore a little too much for my liking, but they are an exceptionally good all round tyre. If they made them in 35" to go on 15" rims I would have bought another set. best tyre I have used in snow and ice.
