Well, I am looking at at least getting some beefier tires than the stock STs for my 4x2 Jeep and am not looking to spend a ton of money, since its only 4x2... anyway.. I was looking at the Goodyear Authority T/As at wally world (exclusive) and they look cool and have decent ratings, but something tells me not to trust a walmart exclusive tire that is that cheap..
Enter the kumho KL78s.. They have pretty darn good reviews around the web and they are a great price.. I found them on tire rack and they show up twice, with different stats...

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Road+Venture+AT+KL78&partnum=475SR6KL78OWL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes both listed as the KL78 ATs.. same pics.. same reviews.. cept they each have different speed and load ratings and one tire is 11lbs heavier.. 36lbs vs. 47lbs... the 105$ tire is lighter, obviously..
I would guess that the difference has to do with the 10-ply E rating on the one tire.
the cheaper set of 4 is $494.42 shipped to me
the more expensive set is $603.92 shipped to me
thats over 110$ difference in pricing for the set.. the tread patterns are the same, they both have 'standard' side wall construction.. would it really be worth the extra $$$ to get the other tire for as little 'off roading' any 4x2 would be doing?
