I did too....but the old tread design. Those tires were amazing and cheap too. Dunno why kumho decided to change a tried and true tread pattern. I think kumho tires are underrated.

How do you like the kumho's?

Here's a pix of my old 31" kumho MT's. I got these for $101 each. Sweet deal. Of course that was back when oil didn't cost $12,485,825.10 per barrel.

I don't think I've heard much on the definity dakotas, but I have heard plenty of bad stories about pep boys.

Another cheap option would be the Maxxis Bighorns. The sidewalls leave a bit to be desired so you just have to wheel with that in mind. If you do a lot of rocks then this might not be the best option. but... they work well for trails, clean out well in mud and are great on the road.

Ya know I think I have decided my next set of tires will be more of an agressive AT like the BFG's or something...I don't forsee much rock crawling and to much agressive offroading..If so I have my 30" mt's I can toss on... The AT's will have better on road ride and help on MPG's some...SO I may end up with some 31" BFG AT's..
