I've got these in 225 75 16 on my vitara and they are a good mud tire but I wouldn't expect them to last long on these bigger trucks unless they were made of harder rubber.

my buddy has the original kumho vetnure mts not the kl71 or whatever. he barely rotated them and wheeled them on his cherokee and i want to say he has almost 50k on them and they have about 1/2 their life maybe 1/4 left on them. very hard rubber.

Thats what mine are and for something with no power thay are wearing and losing chunks faster than I figuired. Maybe the larger sizes are harder but mine are even load range Ds.

A lot of guys on the Titan boards are using the 35" Kumhos on their 1/2-tons and are very happy with them. I just don't know how they hold up on the big trucks.

im running kuhmo 37 13.50 on a 22 inch rim the tires are grate they look really good and perform well. So far i have taken them in the mud and snow grate traction. and as for wear i dont think they are wearing that fast.

I'm also running 37X13.50 R22 i've got over 22k on them in just over a year and they should be able to go at least another year. They ride great if you keep them rotated and they are surprisingly quiet.

I have around 20k on them and have about 50% tread left. Good tire in the mud, and I haven't rotated them like I should either. They do make some road noise though. I would get them again but I don't think they make them in 37's and the 36's they do make cost more than a 37 inch kumho or toyo.

I put D rated Kumho Venture's on my 02 QC a couple thousand miles before trading it in. The tires had good traction but the sidewalls were very soft and you could feel them flexing when going around corners. Not a good feeling when doing 55 with a couple hundred foot cliff on one side. It was a lesson learned, I will never put anything less than E Rated tires under a diesel rig again. I do not know if Kumho makes an E rated tire, If so I may be interested. My Toyo MT's are almost shot, I'm trying to stretch them to 30K miles, but I don't know if they will make it or not.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the Nittos. The Dura Grappler is supposed to be E-Rated in the 285 size but I'm trying to get clarification on that. If it is true then that's what I'm getting. I really like the BFG ATs but they just pick up too many rocks for me...
As for these tires in this thread, they are cheap but they don't look like they are made for a heavy diesel truck. More for a half ton application....
