Review of
the
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.

The latest in KUMHO technology has created a true
mud terrain tire with great street manners and
very low noise levels. The Road Venture MT KL71 is
the perfect choice for the street bound 4X4 that

tire with large rim diameters. At home in mild or
wild off road conditions, from tame gravel roads
to deep mud, the Road Venture MT KL71 provides
excellent off road traction.
Special Features
- 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.
