new tyres

Post by Tinman »

hey guys just got myself a set of Kuhmo kl71 's and so far they are awsome and at a good price.
i got 31" by 10.5", and if they go well i will upgrade to 33" at the end of the year when i take mine off the road to have it engineered for a bigger lift.
ill put some pics up soon.

hey guys i just got back from taking it for a test with the new tyres and places where i had to rev the guts to get up it just crawls up in low revs, and much more responsive on the road.

yeah when i first saw them i was like sweeeeeeeeet
i took it out on a hill climb last night and i managed to do it in half the time as i did with my old A/t's
only slight issue is at low speed you can feel each lug on the tyres but anything above 40km/h is fine other than that so far so good.

260 aussie fitted and balanced so alot cheaper about 2/3 the price, i cant wait for winter now to see how they perform in some deep mudd :D
recomended psi is 40
the only problem is with them being directional having a spare can be pointless so im using 2 kuhmo at's as my spares there the same so should get me out of trouble but it will take something big to flatten one of these... i hope
