Description: Kumho Road Venture MT KL71


The Road Venture MT KL71 is a light truck radial tire developed for the drivers who are looking for an Off-Road geared tire that offers exceptional traction while maintaining a quality ride on-road. The Road Venture MT KL71 is designed to combine exotic looks that are desired by many 4x4 and SUV owners, great off-road capabilities in larger rim diameter sizes.


The Road Venture MT KL71 features a cut and chip resistant compound molded into a directional tread pattern comprised of tightly packed center tread blocks with stepped edges for improved on-road handling and noise control, high void, 2 stage shoulder lugs with alternating with ejector bars deep in the voids for self-cleaning suction release, and aggressive sidewall lugs that wrap around and provide the side traction that will aid in deep mud and snow as well as provide sideway traction in ruts. The tire's structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon to enhance high-speed stability and durability while the two polyester cord sidewall plies promote durability. Additional features found on the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 include siped outer lugs for improved traction in wet conditions and snow. The center stepped lugs is a design feature found more often with the better designed tires geared towards improve traction in mud where the stepped design allows a better release of mud from the voids. Styling is an aggressive, exotic look that works well in the elements. Size availability is limited although Kumho does have tires in higher rim sizes larger than most other manufacturers.


Durable cut & chip tread prevents cut & chip even under the roughest driving condition.


Undertread for ride comfort - A newly developed compound has been used between the tread and steel belt. This blocks out impact and noise from the road surface and enhances ride comfort.


High tensile steel belt & jointless cap ply enhance durability and reduce noise levels.


Dual body plies protect the KL71 from the stress of on and off road use.

Pros: Great road traction, low road noise, look amazing, never gotten stuck, wear
Cons: directional tread,

Put a set of 31x10.50-15's on my cherokee that is lifted 3". I haven't gotten stuck yet. I've done water crossings where the water was up and over the hood, a solid 4'. Come to think of it only the top 1.5' was water, the rest was thick mud. The tires clean out really well, and work great doing hill climbs. I was most impressed with wet road traction, most MT's struggle, and this one has better on road traction in any condition, wet dry or snow, than my " street tires" that i use for long trips. Ive put about 4000 miles on them, and gone wheeling about twice sometimes 3 times a week since I've had them. You can't beat the price, I would buys these tires 1000 times over.

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

If you're interested in a real life road test for this tyre then try this for size. Shod with 265/75/R16 KL-71's I've just driven my modified Range Rover pick-up (towing a loaded half tonne Sankey military off road trailer) from the UK, north through Norway into the Arctic Circle and crossed Russia from north to south in WINTER...Never used the chains, never got stuck..Arctic ice roads or deep off-road in the forests..No problem for this tire....Oh and then I drove the same tires from Russia through Turkey and Syria to the deserts of Jordan in the Middle East, and back, on the same set...24K miles of extreme driving snow-ice-mud-sand-rock-and the highway.....this tyre seen it all, done it all, and they're still on the truck.

Pros: Quiet for a aggressive tyre
Cons: None as yet!

Upgraded from Hankook RT01's 33's to Kl-71 in 35's. First drive out of the shop...Felt great on road, excellent road manners. Quiet up to around 80 kph then a little noise creeps in. Have taken them off road. Good in sand, excellent in mud. I drop them to 15-18 psi. I run an Toyota KZJ78 LWB Landcruiser (Export) here in New Zealand.

Pros: Great looks, impressive in snow & mud.
Cons: Excessive road noise when cupped bad from poor wheel alignment.

The only tire I will buy for my pickup trucks. A tire that will pull a trailer behind a 1997 GMC 2500 diesel through snow to the middle of the grill and only stop because of the trailer hanging up is a good tire. It is a quiet tire on the pavement for being so agressive until it cups from poor wheel alignment. At that point it sounds like any other aggresive tire on a good day. Only real complaint is it's traction on ice because the rubber is so hard and the lugs are so big. But the pros definetly outweigh the cons.

Pros: Great Traction and tread wear
Cons: noise

Ok, I've got almost 15,000 on my tires including alot of trail riding, some rock work, a significant amount of deep mud and of course road miles. These tires are awesome on the trails and in the mud, I've only been stuck once, and that was in mud ruts up to my croch. My buddy also got hung up in his Rubichon with BFG MT's so I feel like I was in good copany. The tires have some wear (siping is gone) but otherwise I have alot of tread life to go, probably 25,000+ miles. In rock they need to have the pressure backed down to about 20PSI or so but in mud and on road I run them at 42 PSI. I still love the tire although they have become noisy but hey they're Mudders. P.S. they drive the highway at 70+mph with no shimmy and track pretty well. I do rotate and balance them every 3000mi though.

Pros: Sharp looking tire that PERFORMS!!!
Cons: Start off quite, but get VERY loud after a 5000+ miles

If you are looking for a street tire that performs well off road this is a decent tire to look at. When I first got the tires they were smooth riding and really quite. But after 5000-8000 miles they started to really roar. These tires are almost as loud as Boggers, but I will admit they ride much smoother.


Around town they handle great, and hook up well on wet or dry pavement. In the mud they do not clean the tread as fast as some mud tires, but they do work well. We had a few 20+ inch snow storms this year and they really shined in DEEP snow. They dug well and gave good grip. In 1-2" of snow they are a little slippage when turning but that is expected with most MT tires.


Over all a great tire is you understand these are MT tires and they will ride rougher than normal and be much louder than normal street tires.


Currently have 31x10.5 mounted on a stock 1999 Dodge Dakota and have had VERY good luck beyond the points noted above.

Pros: Tread life, traction, 10 plies
Cons: None

I have run other types of mud terrain tires in the past( Goodyear, Dick Cepeks, and most recently BF Goodrich M/T KO) These tires are comparable to the BFG's, but less expensive. I have a 2005 Dodge 2500 w/ the Cummins HO. These tires have just over 10,000 miles on them, and still have plenty of tread. I expect to get another 10,000 miles before I buy another set. Love the off road capability and the 10 ply and they clean out well in the mud.

Pros: Excellent in the sand
Cons: ???

These tires are great in the sand, loose gravel, and on road. I have had them up to 170kmh with no fear os loss of traction. I am not bothered by the noise as they are an MT so they are expected to be a bit noisey.
Great tire, slightly noisey but that has to be expected.


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
