Re: opinion on tyre choices
I run the Kumho KL71s in a 32 and they are a BIG 32 so could possibly be the same situation with the 31" variation.
Barely worn so far and I've done a heap of KMs on them. Tongariro & back twice, Auckland - Tauranga countless times & daily driver since August.
Trick is to run them at 40PSI on the road and maintain them at that, I only drop them down to around 20 when offroad.

Re: opinion on tyre choices
wont go wrong with KL71's thou' they are not a true 31 inch closer to 30.5
great all round tyre with a medium compound tread and a variation in the pattern to stop harmonic road noise.

I have a set of the SL366's on my R50 Terrano. Very happy so far. Wearing well. Good for the 4wd trips I do in the truck. I'd recommend them to someone on a budget.
