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.

The KL78 is the newest member of the Road Venture
AT family. The KL78 has the instinct of a high
performance street tire with the agility to
venture into the unknown. Great handling,
outstanding traction on paved or unpaved roads,
long mileage and low noise make the Road Venture
AT KL78 a great fit for today's pick-up trucks and
SUV's.
Special Features
- Circumferential zig-zag grooves, along with
multiple lateral grooves and sipes, provides
excellent driving traction on and off the
highway.
- Full depth circumferential tread grooves
evacuate water from the footprint area, reducing
the risk of hydroplaning and improving wet
handling and braking.
- Optimized tread groove tapers promote self
cleaning of mud and snow for better all-terrain
traction.
- High tensile steel belts and endless nylon
cap ply application promote a uniform tire shape
for excellent durability and higher speed
capability, for the life of the tire.
- Tread compound specifically designed to
combat cutting and chipping.
- Computer generated sequential pitch design
for optimum traction and a quiet ride.
