The new Kumho Road Venture tires do tend to wear pretty quickly, however they are a bitchen tire. BrianO is looking at getting about 20k out of them on his superduty (38s). I have Nitto Mudd Grapplers and they're wearing pretty evenly although i've kept on them every 3,000 miles (I've put about 6 on them so far). They're all good tires you just have to take care of them

I have the kumho m/t's with 6k+ miles and little sign of wear. I'm very pleased with the tire. I may try the Toyo m/t's next

here they are

I had grapplers last and they do wear pretty quickly, I just installed new wheels and the Kumho MT's and they are a bad ass looking tire!!

Any off road type tire is not really gonna last lijke a radial on the road. There gonna wear faster, but unfotunatly sometimes you can't have it all.

I don't know about truck tires, but the Kumhos on my old Camaro weren't worth a shit. I was lucky to get 15K out of a set, front or rear. Granted, they were different than stock size, but that's unacceptable in a car with proper alignment specs.

Well I went with the Nitto's and with all the rain we had down here in South Texas last week I finally had a chance to test them. My conclusion is they are nice but dont plan on pulling anything out of the ditch, mud hole or snow bank. First thing in to keep in mind they are an ALL TERRIAN tire. However if you drive on pavement more then the soft stuff these tires are smooth and quiet.
