Kumho MT's

Erikclaw · Jul 16, 2011

Anyone have any experience with Kumho MT's 37's? Don't know or heard of any feedback about these tires. Or Nitto Trail Grapplers? Ran Toyo's got good mileage (50,000) out of them but looking for something different.

Ive got two local friends that have the Nitto Trail Grapplers and really like them. They are quiet and seem to be yielding good tread wear. That being said, these are on a wrangler and a tahoe so both are considerably lighter vehicles.
Ive got a set here that Ive been contemplating putting on as well.

My best friend runs trail grapplers on his mega cab and loves them, they work nice in the snow and hook pretty good they are quieter than the Toyo MTs he had on it... I love the way the kumho mt tires look though if they wernt so pricey I would have slapped them on my f150 just for the looks of em lol

They do look pretty cool. will have to make up my mind soon. The only extra set of tires I have laying around are the stock ones.Don't think they will work. LOL

The nittos look real good, but the problem I'm having with getting them is they dont make a 37x13.50R20. Only a 37x12.50R20. I'm assuming you have 20s also, thought that's what it looks like in your avatar pic. They do have the 13.50 for a 22 though.

The rubber on the trail grapplers seems very soft IMO. Not sure how it will hold up under the weight of a SD.

Yeah I have been seeing that too. Don't like 12.5's. They make a 15.5 in a 38 though. I do have 20's, have been tossing the idea of going to a 22" wheel.

22's on 38's ftw

Erikclaw · Jul 18, 2011

That's what I'm saying.

David S. · Jul 18, 2011

especially on a 15.5" tire. Pure s3x

Spatel23 · Jul 18, 2011

22s would look killer on your truck Erik.......DO IT

Erikclaw · Jul 18, 2011

They would be American Force 22x12's. I just need to do it damn it! They have a new wheel that resembles BMF Sotas. Leaning that direction.

The kumho tires wearout fast, least that was my findings on a superduty. The trail grapplers were great. Put about 20,000miles on them and they were almost new still. Great snow traction and good off road too. They are quiet too. Get them Erik you'll like them. And I second the new rim choice. Like Nike says " Just Do It "

Kind of leaning towards the Inrterco M16 too. They look cool. Have found trail grapplers 37x13.5x22 for $473

TripleE44 · Jul 19, 2011

Forget the m16s if you're into looks. They look skinny. I don't really know why, but they just do. They start out really quiet, then get pretty loud. I have been getting really good wear out of them, but i drive very slow.

Basically, next time I'm goin with Toyo or the kumhos I think. Mainly because I want my tires to look like 13.50s, not 11.50s.

Erikclaw · Jul 19, 2011

Skinny sucks. These are the weels I am wanting.

It seams like the trail grapplers wear fast on tuned trucks around here, I have sold a few sets to my friends. I run the kumhos on my 7.3 and they work pretty good and run quiet down the road. My friends with the nittos did say they would get em again tho.

I just ordered a set of the kumho road venture MT 35x12.5R20. It's the only tie I could get here in Germany for under 2k.

Please tell me I won't regret it!
