Picked up a 4-Pack of Rubbers!
Finally decided on a tire. Went with the Kumho Road Ventures. Size is 255-65-17. So far I love this tire. My truck feels much more sure footed on these. I hated the factory Good Year Forteras.






I also need to grab some updated photos of the interior. I also installed a new double DIN JVC touch screen entertainment system. Looks completely factory and amazing screen detail.

Looks good. I had a set of Kumho's on my Mustang and were very happy with them.

Looks great. I'm liking that size as well. Which exact model did you get (there's several Road Venture)? When mine wear out, I'm thinking of 255/65 or 275/60. I really like your color. I almost went with that, but I had just traded a Mariner with the same color (and wanted something different).

Was looking at those when I was getting tires last year. Guy sold me a different brand but I did like the Kumho's. The guy said they are great tires. :thumbsup:

you know...by the title of the note I did not know what he was going to mention.

I don't understand why everyone praises Kumho tires so much. The Escta 712 I had on my 97 Trans Am were garbage. No traction on DRY pavement, and wet was dangerous! And they only lasted 13,000 miles. I'll never buy another set.

You can't really judge a brand (as a whole) by 1 bad experience with 1 particular model. Every manufacturer has "cr@p" models. I could name several Goodyear tires -- which are bad, but several are also good. Same for nearly every brand.

I really like the looks of the new Kumho SATs, but I'll wait awhile -- until a few more people review them.

I'm thinking of Toyo ATs for the ST, but I still have quite a bit of tread on the OEMs.

I have not seen anyone here praising Kumho's so not sure we need to break out the pitch forks over a set of tires you had on ONE car. I am just sharing the tires I got for MY truck.

I would really like to hear how they are after a few months and rotation.

DITTO! I want a long term review, say a year/12-15,000 miles from now.

And I wasn't saying I hated YOUR tires. They look good. Just that I hated the ones I had. Calm down Aunt Jemima! Go make some biscuits!
