I am running the Kumho kl 71 mt's. These tires are absolutly wonderful off road. How ever if you drive your rig everyday, then I would shy away from them. they do not wear well on a 6000 pound vehicle.

Lots of happy Kumho KL71 user here in SA. I have a set of Kumho M/S's that I use on my Disco when it is used for tar driving. As with most M/T tyres not good on tar. But methinks if you want them get them. Would buy them any day.

Just got a set of 255/60-18 Ventrua KL51 tires i'm only uping the size from a stock 255/55-18 , every where i look all i find is the size chart and , info on 2'' lifts and all that .. can anyone just tell me if that size will rub on a 2003 Disc with 33,000 miles ... anyone ?

I've run GoodYear MT/R (35x12.5x15) on a Full Size 87 Jeep Wagoneer...They were great on and off road and not loud at all (for a mt tire). The Wagoneer is similar sized weight wise to a RRC...so I see no problems. I think they'd be great on a RRC...I had over 20k miles on them when I sold the Jeep and they were hardly worn. I think the biggest problem people have with poor tire performance is either wrong sized rim/tire combos, incorrect air pressure, or just plain worn out front end parts. With those big tires and the Jeep I ran it about 25psi with 10" rims...that gave me the correct, even contact patch.
