Post subject:  Kumho Road Venture APT anyone??
The 00 XJ Classic I bought needs some tires and I'm looking at the Kumho's above. This jeep will most likely never see any mud and rock climbing will be limited to gravel driveways :lol: This will be my wife's DD and so I want a quiet tire. The Classic package for that year apparently came with 16x7" spoked wheels. It will occasionally be towing our 17" camper so the 102 load rating is a definet plus.

Anyone have experience with this tire? The brand is well respected on the travel trailer forum I belong to :?

Thanks in advance.
Joe

ThunderbirdJunkie wants those wheels.

Give them to him, he commands it!

Overall, for a quiet decent, inexpensive tire...go with the BFG Long Trail Tour

I have Kumho AT's and they're pretty good - never tried the APT

Tire Rack lists them as 9th in the group

The Long Trails are listed 6th and some General Grabbers 1st

I ran the Kumho KL78s for about 20,000 plus miles, still had over half tread left, ( just got tired of them :lol: :lol: :lol: )
very quiet on the road and did great all around wet roads/snow/off road even
So if the APTs are any example they should do you a great job.

Thanks all for the replies :lol: Thunderbird, the ride would be kind of harsh without those wheels :roll: ATXKJ, thanks for the survey link. What I find strange is some of the more expensive tires are lower on the survey :shock:

Thanks
Joe
