πŸ’‘ Is the Kumho Road Venture MT71 265/70R17 a Good Tire?

The Kumho Road Venture MT71 265/70R17 is an all-season mud-terrain tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers aggressive off-road traction in mud, rocks, and loose terrain while providing adequate highway performance through its deep lug tread pattern and reinforced sidewall construction.

Tread life is moderate for its category, with durability suited for heavy-duty use. Rated Good by TireRack based on 24 consumer surveys, it excels in serious off-road conditions but sacrifices on-road refinement and fuel economy compared to all-terrain alternatives. Currently priced from $293.7, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Kumho Road Venture MT71 265/70R17 is a mud-terrain tire, designed for pickup truck and SUV drivers who prioritize maximum off-road traction and durability in challenging terrain. Its tread design and compound focus on aggressive traction capabilities, cut-and-chip resistance, and self-cleaning performance in loose surface conditions.

The tire features Kumho's advanced Tri-Blended tread compound engineered for durability and long tread life, with a high-void, zig-zag dual-pitch tread pattern that maximizes loose surface grip. Built-in mud and stone ejectors help prevent debris buildup and stone drilling damage, while the aggressive shoulder and sidewall design provides enhanced off-axis traction. Driver feedback points to excellent wet weather performance and good dry handling, with solid comfort levels despite the aggressive tread pattern.

Compared to all-terrain options, it prioritizes maximum traction in loose and muddy terrain over on-road refinement. Overall, it's a solid choice for pickup trucks and SUVs used primarily for serious off-road adventures and heavy-duty applications where terrain demands outweigh highway comfort priorities.
