Default NEW TIRES!!

So im shopping around for new tires, im going up to 33's finally after driving around with 30's on a 5 inch lift

Im seriously considering the Kumho Road Venture at kl78's, my xj is my dd so i need something that will last more than a year unlike my current mt's, they seem to be a good tire, and inexpensive too...i like that!!

Has anyone ever ran these or currently are running them, or atleast know something about them

thanks!

I've put about 4000 miles on my KL71's and they haven't shown a bit of wear yet.

Yup they make them in 33"....thats what size Im getting.

...And just realized that the ones XJ_Maniac has are 31's, so of course theyre gonna be less in price...I thought he had 33's
But Ide still like to check the price on 33's, where he got his, just incase.

i got them at my local tire place, just had them overnight 'em. They make them in 33's but the reason that they are so cheap is because they're kinda still just starting out tire brand. Just like maxxis wasnt 190 a tire a few years back, but are now. And these things GRIP! Got in some gravel and tried to slide sideways and they just stuck like super glue.
