New Tire w/SnowFlake (Kumho)

[cknsls@adelphia]

Road Venture SAT KL61, an on-/off-road light truck/SUV line that also carries the snowflake symbol. P-metric sizes will have a 680AB UTQG; LT-metric sizes were not announced. The tire is to launch this month, with most sizes coming in 2009.

In 265/65/17 it goes for $130.00!

That's $75.00ish less than the Michelins!

Any pics of what these will look like?

 

[cknsls@adelphia]

Did a "google search" for images on this tire and NOTHING came up.

What is this TOP SECRET?

The snow symbol is for a new law that went into effect in Canada this winter. All cars are to have winter tires or tires that have the snow symbol on it. I read an article on it back in late December. I guess the fines are supposed to be fairly high.

I was hoping it would have a more revolutionary design. All in all, not a bad looking tire. Center rib for stability, I see some resemblance to the Yoko's AT.

nice looking tire, very good price too. I just wouldn't want to be one of the first to try them in case they really suck.

Bump to the top.

Does anyone know if someone has tried these? Kumho tires seem to get good reviews.
