Kuhmo tires???

DaBurghBoy · 09-18-2002, 02:53 PM

Anyone heard of or have an opinion on Kuhmo M/T tires? I saw them on tirerack.com and the reviews seem pretty good. I also like that they're available in a 31X11.5X15 size. Any comments?

I asked around about them recently here, but not too many had heard of them. The price makes them interesting, and the few comments I got were good, so they are on my short list for new tires.

Saw a set of 33's on a CJ about 3 weeks ago. Pattern looked similar to BFG's.....good looking tire. I have heard alot of good things about Kuhmo in general....

I think that I will give them a close look when I'm in the market for new tires........fantastic price

I've been wondering about these myself. I have a set of Kumho tires on my Camry but have not seen any M/T's. A local place here sells them. They will be on my list as well.

I was looking at these tires and the only negative thing I could find was that their 33"s measure more like 32.4" or 32.5".

i have a set of kuhmo tires on my 66 chevy pickup, the tread resembles the old Goodyear Wranglers, i have had them for close to 2 years and they are really holding up well. but i havent used them on my jeep yet, tho from the experiance i've had with the ones on my pickup i wouldnt hesitate to get a set for my jeep, hope this information helps.

tire guy installed them in about 30min. balanced. running fine..they have about 40,000 miles on them ...still smooth, get up around 65 they start to shake a little but that is nothing new to me....I have had lifted trucks before...

I highly recommend Kuhmo tires. I had a set of Venture HT's that lasted FOREVER. They weren't hard either. I love the MT's also. You can't beat the price.

Mr. Bill,

On road, and not disconnected......used for off-road rarely....

what exactly has to be done to prevent rubbing??

and what effect would wheel spacers give??
