Kumho AT

 

The Kumho Ventire SAT KL61 is an all terrain tire designed with a combination of off-road looks and on-road manners.  I picked up a set, sized 265/70/16, for my 2005 Toyota Tacoma after realizing that my Firestone ATs were not going to make it through another winter.  The tires are designed with a 'flame inspired' tread pattern, which sounds lame, but allows the tires to easily disperse water and stay clean when traveling through gravel, dirt and mud.  As an added bonus, the tires are also rated for severe weather and include the ever-important 'snowflake' which alerts people to this rating.


Nitto Terragrapplers
When it came time to update the tires on my 2003 Toyota 4Runner I spent countless hours researching the various options on forums, Web sites and magazines.   The first question you should ask yourself is how you plan to use the tires.  Since my 4Runner saw plenty of highway use and was my primary vehicle, I decided to go with an all terrain tire (AT).   Next, I looked at the options in the 265/70/17 P-Metric range and narrowed my search to a handful of trusted brands.  Based on reader reviews, a high ranking from Consumer Reports (subscription required) and a great price (all four, mounted and balanced for $620 from Farr Family Tires in Camp Hill, PA) I went with the Nitto Terra Grapplers.
