[QUOTE=DSMayo;292344I would stay away from Kumho anything! My ex had a set of their all seasons and wore them out within 4-5 months. I've personally never heard anything good about that brand..[/QUOTE]

My friend had Kumhos on his Jimmy before he sold it and I know that the present owner drive 200+ miles round trip to Chicago at least once a week and drives it around town all the time. The tires have been on there for close to a year and a half and the only noticeable tread wear is from his bad alignment. Same with mine, the only reason that mine wore down so fast is because nobody can get my truck in alignment. Both the MTs that I have and the ATs my friend has preform very well. In my opinion, my MTs are better than all of my friends MTs, even BFG MTs that my friend has on his K1500.

an amazing tire in the "LT" line (LT235/75/R15). great for the road-dry or wet-no complaints. not too bad in the snow, but not great (wouldn't go through anything deep er than 5 or 6 inches with them though), and not too bad for tread wear. i ran through the ones on my LB in 3 years, had about 120K on them (roughly 75000 miles).

i've had them on my '78 LB, my first 'Burb, and currently waiting for Spring, so i can pull out my diesel 'Burb, and put them on it as well.

nice 'n quiet as well.

Has anyone put on 235/75 R15 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac, Dunlop Radial Rover R/T, or BFG T/A KO. Just want to know whats the best buy. Its a lot of money to put on tires but want to make a good choice. Don't want to spend that much money again in a long time. Want some long lasting tires that's good on road and off.
