Kumho KL21

[milgrad]

Anybody have any idea how the Kumho KL21 would be for 95% highway driving in the Pittsburgh, PA area. It is a new tire that just came out designed for SUV/light trucks...Any feedback on this tire or Kumho's in general would be appreciated.

Do a search on Tirerack.com There are 15 reviews for this tire. It seems the reviews are satisfactory - basically says they are an OK tire, not great but OK.

When I bought my 2006 SR5 4WD last year, it had the Kumho Road Venture APT (KL51) tires already on. The KL51 is a Highway All-Season tire, see Tirerack. Overall I am surprised with the Kumho’s, they are very good in dry, wet and snow (I live in Minneapolis). The biggest plus is they are the quietest tire I'm ever owned (car or SUV). The tires have at least 20,000 miles on them and they still look near new. If you are looking for a highway tire I highly recommend the KL51.

I prefer the look of a more aggressive All-Terrain tire (short list is Terra Grabbers or DynaPro ATm) but I cannot justify new tires to the “Boss” because the Kumho’s are too good.
