Nice Garrity.
Those are the exact same model and size of tires I have on my Bronco. But, savage, I warn you, it is a Mud Tire. It's loud at speed, and a little squirrelly under hard braking due to the tall sidewall and tall treads. It also decreased my Gas Mileage a good 2-5% over the All Terain tires.
If you like Weekend Warrior Off-Roading, and drive less than 1,000 miles a month on your Bronco, and don't mind a slight decrease in MPG, or the sound, then I say go for the Kumhos! (The top Photo is what I have)
I've never had an ounce of trouble in Delaware Snow, or Mud less than 2 feet deep with the Kumhos on my 1993 Bronco 4x4.
And they do look real good.

You can get them on TireRack.com (alot of people don't realize that TireRack has a distributor warehouse in Newark) and they ship quick. There are other Garages that can order these too. I think JustTires also carries Kumho.
I'll warn you, DO NOT get tires from Ron's Discount Tires on Naamans' Rd in Wilmington. I had them install my Kuhmos, and all 4 of the valve stems failed. ALL 4! I've never had a single Valve Stem fail in 30 years, and then all 4 on the same truck. And they balanced them improperly too.
Luckily JustTires allowed me to buy the protection package on my tires even though I bought them somewhere else, so all the valve stem replacements were covered.

Barry if you are worried about them slipping in the rain, just get them siped.
BTW, I run them on my SD right now as my snow tires and I don't have an issue of them slipping in the rain or snow and mine are not siped.

No, I'm not sure if I posted on this or not but I'm running Procomp Xtremes, I should get to try them out in the snow today maybe. I was origanally looking at BFG's and Coopers before I got these, both are good tires.
