Review of
the
Kumho Road Venture AT
The Kumho Road Venture AT is an All-Terrain light truck
tire designed to combine off-road traction with on-road
quality handling and ride characteristics. The Road
Venture AT KL-41 is available in Load Range C, D and E
sizes and was developed to meet the needs of heavy-duty
commercial pickup trucks and sport utility vehicle drivers
who desire highway treadwear along with off-road and snow
traction.
The Kumho Road Venture AT features a cut and chip
resistant tread compound molded into a rugged, aggressive
tread pattern. Full depth circumferential zig-zag grooves,
along with lateral grooves and sipes help reduce the
possibility of hydroplaning and provide dry and wet
traction on and off the road. The tread grooves are
tapered to help clean stones, dirt and snow. On the
inside, the Road Venture AT KL-41 combines twin steel
belts reinforced with a spirally wrapped nylon cap ply to
enhance durability and high speed capability, while
polyester cord reinforced sidewalls provide an even ride.
