Kumho Road Venture MT 834 Reviews

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.

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.
