I'm just starting out with my KJ. I have the 2.5" Rusty's lift that I am going to install and I have been looking at all the forums about tires. I found this new Kumho KL-78 and so far the reviews seem good. Has anybody heard anything about these tires. I was looking at these or the Firestone Destination A/T. I was looking at these tires because money is an issue and these are the two tires that are the least expensive. This is a link to tirerack

I really liked my Destination A/Ts for the 6 months I ran them (until I got my Moabs and MT/Rs)

What kind of driving did you do. I do alot of highway driving because I live in south Florida and there are absolutely no hills or mountains. [/quote]

Mostly daily driving, with a couple offroad trips.

I was reading reviews on tirerack and people that have bridgestone dueller A/T's (not Revos) say they are getting over 75k miles?? Can I expect the same thing from a firestone since it is the same brand.

I just looked at the Goodyear silent armor and the tread looks identical to the Kumho and the silent armors are the highest rated on tire rack. I know that the stock goodyears that we get are horrible, but these are supposed to be better. Any Ideas??
