Beyond a doubt the worst tire I have ever owned. Though they still had tread left, at 20,000 miles all of them developed cracks on both the sidewalls and the tread. Cracks so bad someone asked me who slashed my tire. Yet BFG calls this normal wear and tear so I drove on. At 30K miles the tread was getting getting close to replacement time and all of the sudden the tread separated and a huge bubble developed in the tread. The truck is not driveable as-is and is parked until I get something else. There are thousands of complaints on the internet about BFG tires exploding. BFG ignores it, even after paying lawsuits. Besides tire failure, they are no better than an AT in mud, terrible in sand and the lugs break off on rocks. Forget going in sand over 20PSI.
I run these on a chevy 2500 285/75/16. They currently have 45000 and are in need of replacement. The tires have never hydroplanned and grip well when you need them to. I use them on a snow plow vehical and they grip with the best that I have tried. They will chip on rocky surfaces but mine have only a few chips.

Simply unreliable product. Extremly hard to attach to a simple roll bar. I believe the set I received is defective since the velcro is all on the same side of the strap where it should be on opposite sides. These will be sent back to and another set from another manufacturer will be supplied.

These tires were put on a 2wd, light van I use for Fedex here in Montana. I've put at least 20,000 miles on the Kumhos so far and I have to say there a decent tire if you need to compromise on cost and performance. I drive out in the east jesus of no where on lots of gravel roads, snow, ice, sloppy joe mud, and of course pavement. Montana is currently in the midst of a 2 day blizzard and I have had to go in some questionable places. The hold there own on snow and ice and they have lots of siping, which I like. You slide around in a 2wd van in snow, but you can feel them grip when you let off the gas. However, after 20,000 miles, they have certainly shown some wear. Not bad, but noticable. I did also get a bad sidewall gash due to running over a jagged upright rum bottle. But that would've shredded most anyones tire. No harm no foul. Overall, I'd say the Kumhos are a decent tire if you don't want to up the ante for the BFG's which in turn cost more and last longer. Kumhos are a good choice if you need a solid, cheap tire that will perform well in a variety of conditions.

I had these on my 06 Arctic Cat 650, now a new set on my 2011 Arctic Cat 700H1, still my favorite tire. A tad heavy, but 6ply strength. Plowing is a breeze with these. Trail riding is great, they will take you anywhere.

I have had 295 70 17 E on my 06 mega cab diesel for over 3 years and 20,000 miles. The wear issues are well documented for heavy diesel trucks, and unless you air them down to about 60 front/45 back to even out the wear, the centers will go bald---any Les Schwab guy who knows his **** will tell you that. They are hard to balance, and as expected drag down fuel economy. They have GREAT traction in mud, rock, and any other rough terrain. As for snow--I am looking at 16" outside right now and while it will bust through it, they do not perform as well as you would expect. I have never heard of this dry rot thing mentioned above but I would look at the date stamp on the tire. Were these worth $1200 mounted/balanced/out the door? Probably not---when you consider you can go to American's tire or where ever and get something for hundreds less that will work just as well. The ONLY reason to pick these over other brands would be the availability of Les Schwab, AND--the incredible service of SOME of their stores. Notice the word SOME. My MPG dropped to 15 mixed, from well over 20 running these things from the factory Michelins. Finally, I've never heard of or seen any of my friends who run these EVER have a flat tire. I'm sure that's an anomaly, but its worth noting.
