★★★★ good model
Advantages:
Moderately noisy, wear-resistant, not a single puncture in 2 years.
Flaws:
Not friendly with ruts. You get into it, that's where you'll stay. Even the native (for a loaf) kama does not behave like this. On the Kama I got into a rut, and when you needed it, I left. This won't work in an RV. I thought that with side lugs like those on an RV, the track was a trivial matter. Wrong. It gets washed out quickly.
A comment:
In principle, for the money, these are pretty good tires. She doesn't care about stones, sand, dirt (not just slush). I bury myself up to my balls in the black soil from time to time, nothing is wrong, I leave.
★★★★ good model Experience: Several years
Advantages:
It rows well through mud: clay, black soil, sand, if you let it go, it goes well. It goes until you get on the bridges, it's worth the money. The tread left 3 mm for 3 summers and 2 winters, about 90 t.km. Strong, not a single puncture or side cut. You forget about potholes, hernias appeared on the front wheels only after 3 years of merciless use...
Flaws:
A little heavy, wears out quickly on asphalt, makes moderate noise.
A comment:
I flew into holes along the axis, everything survived, it was checked! I was satisfied! Definitely worth the money.
★★★★★ great model Usage experience: Several months
Advantages:
Appearance, cross-country ability, the car has grown by 0.8 mm
Flaws:
Diesel fuel consumption.
A comment:
Installed on a stock Kyron 275/75/R16 operation 90% asphalt 10% dirt + 1. Cross-country ability has become much better! 2. the full one has become less likely to be turned on! 3. The ground clearance has increased (but not much, maximum 1 cm)! 4. The car began to look more harmonious! 5. does not plan on puddles - 1. consumption has increased (2000 rubles per tank and the maximum on country roads could reach 500 km) 2. acceleration has increased (at first it was very annoying, then I got used to it) 3. the speed has decreased, on average it has become 100-120 km . I bought it new in September 2016 for 7,000 rubles per cylinder. when buying, they even tried to dissuade me, but couldn’t) I tried to drive it in winter, I liked it through fields and forests, but in the city in winter it’s definitely NOT! I like!
★★★★★ great model Experience: Several years
Advantages:
Rows perfectly (mud, sand, puddles), puddles are not felt, even at a decent speed, just like a country road with a fair amount of dust, cleans well, jumps out of ruts (and jumps just as well on curbs if you rub in sideways))) ), soft.
Flaws:
At a speed of more than 80 it starts to make noticeable noise, it’s hard to drive long distances, then there’s a buzzing in your ears, at a speed of 120 the road control leaves much to be desired, and if you accelerate over 120 you start to feel like a suicide bomber. When braking sharply, the car jumps.)))) (for the first time I was surprised). Heavy (although I can only compare it with a road car).
A comment:
It’s on a Chevrolet Niva (R15 75 215, when the steering wheel is turned completely to the side, it wipes in the arches). Covered approximately 35-40 thousand km over four seasons. It wouldn’t have been demolished if it weren’t for the broken wheel alignment (it was like new, but because of the wrong wheel alignment, it was demolished within a week). It’s almost impossible to find in my size, and when I bought it, all the stores were filled with it. I don’t go into swamps, but I have four years of confident fishing, and into the forest, where the only roads are directions. On the highway I pump it up to 2.5 atmospheres, but if you lower it to 2.2 it’s noticeably harder to drive. When compared with winter tires, the difference in acceleration on asphalt is noticeable; on the road it is noticeably harder. I'm very pleased with the tires.
We continue to deal with off-road tires, this topic is quite interesting and you can also very quickly “get sick” of this hobby and dream in your sleep about how you “shod” your SUV in cool tires and set off to conquer the off-road. In general, another excellent tire, read on.
So, after scouring forums and websites, I came across another excellent option for tires for mud, a tire of the “Mud Terrain” class, which means that the tire is completely off-road when driving on the highway is not recommended. 80 percent - for riding in mud/clay and swamps and 20 percent - for the highway. If you drive on such a tire most of the time on asphalt, it wears out very quickly, lasting at most for a couple of seasons. Considering that the cost of a tire is above average, use it strictly for its intended purpose, so to speak)) Here is such a wonderful MT tire:
Sizes and prices:
Next, I provide a small and useful table with sizes and prices, so that you can choose the most suitable size for your car and find out the prices. Look at the passport of your car, if you already know the size, then that’s great.
So, we’ve sorted out the prices, now let’s look at photos of these gorgeous tires, how great they look on your car, giving it a very serious look. At least, when not so long ago I saw the UAZ Patriot on Kumho Road Ventura, many people turned around after it. The UAZ looked very impressive, it is a large car itself, and even the tires were wide. Needless to say, appearance is also important. Let's look at the photo:
An ordinary UAZ is still a tank.
A lot of Nivas (regular and Chevrolet):
As you can see, if you are choosing mud MD tires for traveling in mud/clay, then this model is a very good option. Why? Let's figure it out, because there are both pros and cons here, which are “drawn” solely due to operating conditions.
The advantages of rubber
- Very large tread pattern, the chance of “washing out” the tires is reduced
- Powerful side hooks - it will be easier to get out of ruts
- Self-cleaning is excellent, also due to the tread pattern
- Soft, so can be used as an all-season (that is, in winter too)
- The tread pattern is directional, so if you do get stuck, it will be easier to get back out.
- One hundred percent “mud” tires, completely suitable for traveling on clay in any weather
- Strong, thick, impenetrable for small screws
If you use it often on asphalt/motorway/highway, it will wear out very quickly, enough for a couple of seasons.
Compared to regular AT tires, this one adds a little fuel consumption.
“Thanks to” the directional tread pattern, the spare wheel will not be easy to find
It’s comfortable to drive on the highway up to 100-110 km/h, then you understand)) Shaking, hum, vibration, etc.
A couple of tips for those who bought and use:
For greater cross-country ability, you can release the pressure to one atmosphere, your jeep will become a tank.
Still, try to drive on soft surfaces, because Mud Terrain is designed specifically for mud.
Video of Niva on Kumho Ventura tires
And finally, to strengthen your confidence that you need to take exactly these tires 🙂 - video of an off-road race of a Niva shod in Kumho. Tire size 215/75R15. Pay attention to the 35th second - a very tough moment, but Niva managed. As you can see, the tires are very decent.
Mud model of the middle price category. Friendly with asphalt, allows you to ride on moderate off-road conditions. Take a closer look if you:
- you ride often and a lot in the city and on the highway
- Do you want to freely go hunting or fishing, actively relax in nature?
- off-road you most often deal with primers and rocky surfaces
- love comfort
- looking for budget options

Kumho Road Venture M/T KL71 on a Ford off-road pickup truck Driver reviews: advantages and disadvantages of Kumho Road Venture MT KL 71
Kumho is not very well known in the mud tire market. In terms of purely off-road parameters, their tires are not yet particularly competitive with classic off-road monsters. However, the energetic and fast-growing company has something to offer to interest jeepers with more than just words. There are a number of interesting features and advantages, which we will dwell on in more detail - practice shows that the KL71 definitely deserves attention and can appeal to many, especially considering its price.
Asphalt
Usually severe mudas are quite sad on the asphalt. They can drive, but due to large bumps and vibration, it will not be particularly comfortable even on a perfectly flat track. Advanced manufacturers come up with various tricks, but top-end products that solve this issue are very expensive. Simpler models, as a rule, are designed for off-road use; ride quality on asphalt roads is rarely a priority for anyone. With the KL71 it is different, this model has adopted the traditional properties of Kumho rubber - softness, silence and elasticity.
Let’s say right away - don’t expect street racing properties and perfect noiselessness here, after all, this is a Mud Terrain. However, we can say for sure that the acoustic load with these shoes will be significantly lower than that of most types of mud rubber. Bumps are absorbed well, potholes are easy to pass, and a broken road on the remote periphery does not create problems. Long drives along the highways and everyday driving in the city will not shake the interior and will not provoke a headache from sound overload, which will definitely appeal to those who do not want to buy separate wheels for trips, who ride on the same tires both in everyday life and on a rest. In addition, asphalt comfort will not be superfluous if you travel far to wild places.
Driving properties, when compared with other mudas, are average, but quite decent. The steering wheel is informative, you can feel the road, there is a grip, but sharp maneuvers are contraindicated; there may be problems with the obedience of a heavy car. On dry roads there may be slipping - keep your distance, do not press the gas pedal more often than necessary. On a wet road it’s fine in terms of traction, but on puddles there will be aquaplaning, starting at about 80-90 km/h.
Priming
It rides calmly on any dirt road, including muddy ground with potholes and potholes. The ride is relatively comfortable, the softness of the rubber compensates for shaking. Pulls well uphill, adequately on wet grass. Forest trails and fields are accessible in all weather conditions. Sand - you can drive, but be careful with the accelerator so as not to dig in.
Kumho Road Venture M/T KL71 off-road Stones and rocks
It grips well, paddles over crushed stone, and rides over rocky terrain without any problems. Small pebbles do not get stuck. Mountain roads with dense rocky soil can be overcome without the slightest effort.
Clay and dirt
Light to moderate mud won't pose much of a problem as long as it's fluid enough and there's a firm bottom. Difficulties with self-cleaning will occur on clay and in deep bayous with viscous slurry.
The KL71 is quite suitable if you do not consider mud as a separate off-road discipline and all you need is the ability to drive where the road is blocked by an unpleasant and dangerous puddle in terms of getting stuck. If you need some special advantages on the turf, look for more themed tires.
Remember that you need to drive hard through the mud, in a low gear, so as not to dig in. It is better to reduce the tire pressure, but after returning to a hard surface, pump it back up - the KL71 is not suitable for long-term driving with flat tires, there is a risk of dismounting.
Snow, ice
Closer to zero, KL71 hardens and begins to lose its beneficial properties. Some performance will be maintained on snow and slush due to the thinness of the tread and the ability to self-clean, but the tires will slip on ice and packed snow. On asphalt, controllability will decrease and braking will become more difficult. It makes sense to use this model all year round closer to southern latitudes, where ice is rare. In all other cases, it is better to buy winter tires for the winter.
Additional nuances
- durability is satisfactory - worse than that of the leaders in the mud segment, but much better than MT tires of similar softness
- wear resistance below average
- Road Venture M/T KL71 is a fairly popular model among domestic car owners
Mud tires Kumho Road Venture MT KL 71: description from the manufacturer, technology
Drawing
Sharp polygonal blocks provide an abundance of effective grip points. The massiveness of the pattern elements protects the tire from holes. The lugs that extend to the side surface improve maneuverability on viscous and loose substrates and protect against side cuts. The checkerboard arrangement and eccentricity of the checkers increases traction on rocks and uneven asphalt. At the bottom of the grooves in the shoulder area there are stone removers that protect the tread from getting stones stuck between the blocks.
Structure
A two-layer cord stabilizes the tire structure and increases its strength. The steel breaker takes the brunt of the impact load and improves resistance to punctures. There is a damping layer between the breaker and the treadmill, which dampens vibrations and increases comfort in the cabin. The softness of the rubber and the absence of overheating due to optimized heat distribution help reduce contact noise when driving.
Advantages:
Moderately noisy, wear-resistant, not a single puncture in 2 years.
Flaws:
Not friendly with ruts. You get into it, that's where you'll stay. Even the native (for a loaf) kama does not behave like this. On the Kama I got into a rut, and when you needed it, I left.

Advantages:
2.5 years without punctures or repairs, LT model with reinforced sidewall. So far the new one makes little noise and drives tolerably in the mud.
Flaws:
The car's cross-country ability in mud (namely in mud, and not on muddy primers) quickly wears off on the asphalt and begins to make noise.
Comments:
I won’t say anything about behavior on asphalt and fuel consumption, I’m not interested in that, and I don’t remember how the car behaved on road tires. I am writing for those who plan to use the tires for their intended purpose - off-road, since I myself use the car exclusively for weekend rides. The average mileage per trip is 200-300 km, of which 20-40 km. roadless, the rest is asphalt. For various primers it may not be bad, but in the real mud of Moscow and neighboring regions it drives mediocrely; in order to drive acceptable, you have to bleed up to 0.5 Atm, and at such pressure there is a risk of taking off your shoes. As wear occurs, the permeability drops significantly, and the noise increases. It practically does not come out of the rut, there are no side lugs, this is visually visible. As MT tires, they are rather weak. After ~25 thousand km, the tread balance is 7-9 mm, it’s already scary to go off-road, the cross-country ability has become like that of a weak AT.
Advantages:
Cross-country ability Quiet
Flaws:
It’s best to leave the installation to a professional.
Advantages:
1. Good selection of sizes for R 15 and 16. 2. Quiet on asphalt 3. Sturdy
Flaws:
1. It wears off quickly, unlike the same BFG or Cooper. 2. Heavy 3.
Comments:
I bought it in size 245/75/16 for a stock Patriot in April of this year, although it cost me 2 times cheaper then (5880 rubles per cylinder) than it costs now. I was choosing between this and the BFG KM2, the choice fell towards the KL. Mainly due to the price, it is significantly cheaper. It rows well in the mud (here, of course, it depends on what you’re comparing it to; it’s almost 30 km to the village on a broken dirt road; after rain, you can’t drive on bald tires at all). Of course, it wears off quickly on asphalt; probably about 5mm has already worn off on the front end (from April to December). I think it will last another 1.5 years, and then everything will be erased. It is better not to drive it on asphalt. It’s not worth the money they’re asking for it now!
Advantages:
It rows very well, is quite stable on the road, does not feel puddles at speed, and walks smoothly over potholes))
Flaws:
Very heavy, noisy!, there is something to compare with from MT,
Comments:
The second MT tires, on my MPS2, what I want to say is that these tires are not for long trips, they are heavy, fuel consumption increases significantly, it seemed difficult to me, when compared with the Hankuk MT, it is noisy, like on an airplane, despite the fact that I have additional noise, my previous tires were HankukMT, so they didn’t make any noise at all, I drove on them at sea on the sands and to Astrakhan, I didn’t feel particularly heavy, but with this one I was even a little upset ((but otherwise everything is fine , in mud it’s just super and clay and getting out of the car is super. On wet asphalt it goes very confidently and steadily, I’ve skated about 6 thousand, I plan to change it - it’s very difficult with it over long distances ((
Advantages:
Quiet, reasonable price, angry drawing.
Flaws:
It rows normally only if it is baited less than 1
Comments:
It sits on a lifted Shnivy 235/75/15. I use it everywhere, from commuting to work to preparing tracks for competitions. The tires are most suitable for expeditions, as they are very quiet and handle well in light off-road conditions. But all the same, you definitely need to poison it to at least 0.8 (but it’s already easy to take off your shoes). Otherwise, he doesn’t want to go, let alone get out of the rut. For real shit... it is not suitable, after all, it is more AT than MT. In the spring I will take one more suitable for off-roading and in a larger size. But I’ll leave this one for expeditions and rides, this is her element
Advantages:
Confidently and predictably behaves on any type of surface, except pure ice, not noisy, soft, in mud and snow it is better not to try to “steer”, but to let the tires do their job and only slightly correct the direction, tested in a wet potato field, in a swamp (the quagmire) I haven’t climbed, but it gets out of the mud “above” the hub without any problems.
Flaws:
When braking sharply from speeds above 80 km/h, it wanders, but you can hold it without problems
Comments:
car - Patriot 2014, without OFFROAD tuning
One of the brightest representatives of high performance tires. The sporty-aggressive tread pattern was developed using computer modeling and contributes to high resistance to mechanical damage, including at high speeds off-road. The steel breaker is located inside the layer, its task is to reduce noise and increase shock-absorbing qualities.
