Kumho Road Venture AT KL78

Looking to buy tires for my '05 F350 SRW 4x4 crewcab Lariat. It has the original Conti's on with 31,000 miles (I just bought it), and they are worn.

Has anyone had any experience with Kumho? Are they good tires? The reviews on Tirerack seem favorable.

I am also looking to replace the conti's on the wifes '07 Edge (down to the indicators at 37,000 miles.

Did you buy them? Initial thoughts? I'm also looking at either those tires in a 325/60/20, or duratrek wranglers in the stock 275/65/20.... the kuhmos are a bit more, but wider, and seem to have all positive reviews from heavy duty truck owners (surprising given they are load range D)

I have a set on my truck. Right now they have about 44K miles on them, and they've been on my truck for 3 years now (almost to the day). I should see 50K+ out of these, and might have gotten a few more thousand miles out of them, but I had an alignment issue with my truck that wore two of them a bit funny. No fault of the tire there.

My overall impression after having these tires is I would definitely buy them again. They have been awesome in all weather conditions, including snow. Wear, tire noise, balancing, traction, etc have exceeded my last set of BFG AT K/O's. Plus the price is much cheaper than the BFGs (although it looks like the Kumhos have gone up a bit since I bought them 3 years ago).

That's my 2 cents.
