Very good more budget friendly tire.
I had these tires for about a year now. I like to off-road a fair bit and I've driven them in a lot of different conditions. Dry and wet traction are amazing. Noise is great even on freeway speeds you don't hear them. And tread wear is pretty good, not excellent but good. These tires do very well with snow, dirt, and rocks. The thing that they are not good at is mud. The do not clear themselves well and have a tough time getting traction in mud. But overall, these have been great tires, a good more budget option and I really appreciate there performance in the snow.

Love My Tires. They're very good in heavy rain.
You can feel the grip on the road. Comfort on bumpy roads.
Looking forward to see how they hold up in the snow.
Looks great & the tread makes my truck look ready for anything.

Great Tire For Our Farm Truck
Tires seem to be good quality and look sturdy. I was a bit surprised that each tire needed about + 7 oz of weight to balance. This is quite a bit of weight for a 285/75-18 tire. I confirmed that the wheels were true and balanced before mounting tires. This is the reason not to give 5 stars in the review. Others may find the amount of weight unacceptable on fancy aluminum wheels. Since my application uses steel wheels, this isn't a great concern.

All-terrain best buy
These are easily the best value in all-terrain. Great performance in all conditions, especially snow, and good tread life if you don't abuse them too badly. Too bad these are being phased out.

All around jack of all trades tire.
If you are looking for a everyday tire this is it. Its an AT so it does well off road. Its not a mud tire, so its not going to give you that aggresive look that most of us like but for the price is not bad.

This is the second set I've had on my Tundra. First set lasted 50K miles, which I thought was pretty good for a relatively aggressive tread. Good traction in snow and mud. Provides good stability for towing. It's a truck tire so its only downside is it rides like a truck tire. Not a bad ride but to get the sidewall stability for rock solid towing near the truck's 9,999lb tow capacity, its a tradeoff I'm good with.

I purchased these tires a few weeks ago and we went on vacation to the Ozark mountains. They performed wonderfully. They have a little noise but that's expected with an all terrain tire. So comfortable riding with these tires installed. Smooth. Even at higher speeds there was no vibration. This is my third set of the Kumho tires. I whole heartily recommended these.

This is the third set of Kumho Road Venture AT51s I have purchased. All three sets have been on my 2015 GMC Sierra.
Very good on road traction and performance. I do a lot of hunting and chores on the farm, so the off road performance is excellent. I strongly recommend these tires due to the price point, performance, and overall value.
