Review of the Kumho Road Venture MT
 
 

If you are hunting for a mud terrain tire that is a decent compromise between extremes without spending a fortune, the Kumho Road Venture MT might be what you are looking for.  Everyone we have talked to who has used this tire tells us that they were a bargain falling into the low 100 dollar range depending on the size and retailer, yet they perform better offroad than most people had expected.  With a tread pattern remarkably similar to the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM, those who we have talked to say the perform about the same as the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM.  Yet they typically fall within a far lower price range, in many cases HALF what the BFGs cost.  For many of us who wheel on a budget, that is significant.  Tire wear is decent on road and flex offroad is good when aired down.  Sidewall protection could be better with a lack of sidewall lugs however those who we know that uses these have not had an issue with sidewall damage, at least not yet.  We give this tire a thumbs up for value.  If you need a decent Mud Terrain tire that won't break the budget, take a look at the Kumho Road Venture MT.
  


Kumho Road Venture MT

 

Manufacturers description of this tire: 

Kumho Road Venture MT

Featured in the CORR Racing series the MT's deep, full-traction tread can handle your toughest traction needs. Variable tread-void across the tread center and shoulder means good ride and top handling, with excellent off-road traction. Aggressive, open shoulder lugs with side-biting edges dig down and also grab sides of ruts. Features more pitches than most leading mud tires and more biting edges per revolution. The durable 834 is also ice-stud compatible.

Special Features

  • Greater number of pitches than most leading mud terrain tires provides more biting edges per tire revolution.
      
  • Alternating, "cupped-out", shoulder lugs with side bite edges, not only dig down, but also grab ruts for additional traction.
      
  • Pinned for the addition of ice-studs, when Mother Nature is at her worst.
      
  • Specially formulated tread compound resists cuts, chips, and abrasions common to off-road driving.
      
  • Variable tread void; wide open shoulder lugs for traction, less void in center of footprint for good wear, ride and handling performance.
      
  • Nylon sidewall reinforcement promotes durability in the most rugged commercial applications.
      
  • Durable nylon belt edge strip gives high speed stability and resistance to centrifugal forces.
