any one had kumo muds b4

<< < (2/6) > >>

Bulli:
They are a good tyre, havent had the khumo's but as wanderer said they are Marshalls. They should be fine on speed and load rating as they arent a poor quality remould.
Had a set of 33's on my shogun until they wore out and they were great. Not as aggressive ad the newer Mt's (bfg,pirelli) as they dont really have side tread but they do work well.
Why is everyone fixated with skinny tyres?? 235 arent very wide and with a larger diameter always make the car look too tall...just a thought

MZ6666:
HI FOLKS, I'M ON MY SECOND SET.THEY'RE MINT.GOOD ON THE ROAD ALL CONDITIONS EVEN IN THE WET! AND ACCEPTABLY QUIET TOO.WORK WELL IN SNOW. VERY GOOD IN THE MUCK!
CHEAP TYRE AT AROUND £68 A CORNER BUT TYRE PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT AS RIDE DIFFERS GREATLY AT 2" LIFT (I USE 26 fr/32r) BUT TRY VARIATIONS.

BY THE WAY MR BULLI , WHILST CHUNKY TYRES LOOK COOL THEY DONT PERFORM AS WELL OFF-ROAD (NARROWER TREAD CUT THROUGH SOFT STUFF PROVIDING BITE) YOU ALSO HAVE A BETTER TURNING CIRCLE COS YOU DONT NEED TO WIND OUT THE LOCK STOPS(USEFUL IN TIGHT WOODS ETC) HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE BIG BOOTS ON RTV,COMP-SAFARI,CAMEL CHALLENGE,G4 ETC?
THEY DO SEEM POPULAR IN ICELAND THOUGH :wink:
SO ITS LOOKS VERSUS ABILITY.I TAKE THE LATTER

P.S MY FIRST SET WERE 225/75/16. WHICH IS A GOOD SIZE IF YOU WANT TO STAY AT STANDARD RIDE HEIGHT.
CHEERS,RICH

Paul:
I'm runing 235/85x16 on my Disco,
I've got the Marshals but Kumho are the same.

Money well spent I say. :D

Bulli:
Hey Mz come out on our next club run and see how hard mine struggles....or not as the case might be.You arent far so if you want to go let me know.(not a dig but a genuine invite)
 There are 2 schools of thought you chose one i chose the other.I personally dont buy into the thinner digs through to the earths core line...i have had 10.5's and the werent any better. The 12.5's are better at lower pressures on rocks etc...not that there is much of that in the uk
If you notice mine are bfg's not monster aggressive ones...which are better rated by LRO- infact they say they are the best mt available!?! according to them.
Try and find 10 inch wide 35's...unless you want simex...which are poor on the road.

gecko:
