KL71 all the way :!: I mostly drive them on road, no excessive wear, good in the wet, no issues whatsoever. In the mud they are bloody good and almost perfect in the sand. Used them for over 20.000kms on hilux, and gonna put a set on the WJ soon. Check discount tyres, they had 33s for a steal a while back.
