| Post subject: | Question about Kumho MT KL71 |
In researching tires to replace my stockers, Jason Thompson shared this link with me: http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?d ... 135&Achse= I think the tire looks great but has anyone else noticed that some pictures show a 'blocked' sidewall and others showed a 'winged' (best I could come up with to describe it) sidewall. All the pictures I can find of the tire on a vehicle have the winged sidewall. I only see the blocked sidewall in the advertised pictures of the tire (not mounted on a vehicle) . Anyone know what the story is here? Scott |

You can get a larger photo from Tirerack - I'm not sure I understand the blocked/winged reference http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Road+Venture+MT+KL71 |

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Road+Venture+MT+KL71 Thanks for the reply ATXKJ. The link you gave shows what I am calling the 'winged' sidewall. This link shows what I am calling the 'blocked' sidewall: http://static.summitracing.com/global/i ... 4313_w.jpg |

Okay - I see the difference - however I have no idea why - or what it would affect. |

Probably wouldn't make a difference... although the 'blocks' look a little thicker (width away from sidewall). I just like the block look better. |
