Kumho KL71

Post by red-devil »

yes i know this has been trashed out before.

but from the boys who run them how are they going, and how many ks have you put on them and are you still happy.

KATS are havng a sale and im thinkin about them for the VX.

wife uses the vx for daily driven. so need tire wear for money.

33'' are going for 365
35'' are going for 375

You will be dissappointed with the wear. I ran them on the safari when they first arrived into the country, got new tyres about ten months later as they were more then half worn. They are no good with heavy trucks.

sold them long time ago Mike, they were 15" rims though.
KATS usually do real good deals on BFG's and the new style look like the shiz. They wear well on heavy trucks.

35'' are going for $375 each

mm creepys i did think about them. i currently have 35's on, and would be vey happy to keep 35's but if i can't find the rite tire for the rite price then i'll go down a size.

time to go look at creepys cost

We're running KL71s on the cruiser, about 10k with minimal signs of wear. Have good grip on the tarmac. Creepies are bias ply, I wouldn' use them on a daily driver.
