Mate love my KL71s. just the bloody greatest!!

just got back from a big trip on them and gave them curry and they came out shining.

on my recommendation and after seeing them on my car a friend tried to get some for his 100series. Got a good price quoted at $265 ea so placed the order.... got a call the following day to say that there is NO STOCK IN OZ and could be up to 6 months waiting!! Check it out mate. IF you can get the Kuhmos go for it.

My young fella just had 5 Bighorns fitted for $1270.00.

Nice tyre in the bush.

I run Kuhmo ATs on the Disco and at 100,000 ks I reckon they'd go close to passing roadworthy. Need new tyres soonish, but I can't complain about their durability.

Sure mate,

I have posted a fair bit on the KL71s on the review thread but will post a few here for you mate.

First a pic of the car before with the Coopers on in 265s





Fitted the KL71s in a 285/75 16 on neg 6 offset








Neg 6 offset works a treat

Haven't downloaded most of my photos from the trip yet but here are a few that i have available.

Did 6000kms up through the Centre in the Wettest year in a few decades, saw heaps of Mud, Sand, Water, Corrugations and these things just Ate it up. Never any doubt that they were going to pull through anything i threw at them.







The Old Ghan Heritage trail still had the Red Gum sleepers imbedded in the track as if the corrugations weren't bad enough lol

Have just recently got the KL71's and I must say I'm very impressed with them. You would not know you are running a mud tyre, they are quiet on the bitumen even at 110km/h and I mean QUIET! They handle great in the wet, no hint of slipping at all and work just like a mud tyre in the bush. Fantastic is how I would rate this tyre so far. Got them for $260.00 fitted in a 32x11.5R15. **** hot!
