I ran the KL78s for a while back three years ago, seemed to do pretty good. Only ran them for 20,000 or so then went bigger |

So they lasted about 45k and did a pretty good job! Looking at the general HTS with the LRR now. My stock is 225-75-16. Looking at there 235/75/16 Would I need to do any kind of lift for that small size change? Even just a clevis or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

After trying to sell them for a while and experience with them on a daily basis I've been really underwhelmed with Kumho. In that price range, and in order of preference; Falken, Nexen, Hankook. All are better than Kumho. Bob |

KL78's were the cheapest with free shipping when I first lifted and still lived in the continental U.S. They weren't bad but they wore quickly even with regular five tire rotations. Duratracs are great if you want a little beefier. Cooper AT and the new bfg at would serve you darn well. |

For 98 percent street this is what my diesel libby came with. Diameter is 29.5in but slightly rubbed front edge of wheel well. I put on mastercraft at tires I bought used for $400 (235/70/16). Your Kumho 225 tire is listed at 29.3in. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=CrossContact+LX20+with+EcoPlus+Technology&sidewall=Outlined%20White%20Letters&partnum=47SR6CCLX20OWL&tab=Sizes Must wear like iron (740 utq) I bought it at 94k miles last summer and they were finally showing wear bars with the rear pair. If original tires went 30-35k? they were at least 60k. they are also low rolling resistance and I would get 32mpg+ on my evic display on highway trips. For my diesel; the tire size were excellent for highway travel. |

I went with general HTS60 it's there new tire in a 235/75/16 No rubbing and really smooth and quiet on the highway. Paid 400 for 4 with road hazard. And then 150 for install and 1 time alignment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
