Michelin (my choice) are out of stock for 12 weeks.
Anyone with experience with Kumho KRD02 or Hankook DH35?
Cheers,
Peter

I ran two sets of 315/75R16 Hankook Dynapro ATm's and never had any problems, had to go to Maxxis Razr as Hankook stopped importing/making the 315's another.

I used Kumho's for the first time on the Oka some 6 to 7 yrs ago after doing some research and advice from the shop where I got them and he could have sold me anything.
I have done some 30 to 40,000 Klm's on bitumen and very rough off road and I mean rough and very demanding on tyres where the other vehicles had tyres cut badly mine came out almost undamaged.
When my Land cruiser needed new tyres I had no hesitation in getting Kumho's.
Some time later my Canter needed tyres and guess what I got... Kumho's.
I normally run at 60 to 80 psi on bitumen and off road let them down to 30 psi.
Would I use them again ... you bet.

I generally run 65psi at 5600kg. Doing the CSR fully loaded at 28psi without an issue.
I'm happy with them but I dont go near mud so I have nothing on that.
I run a bag of beads in each tyre for balancing.
No flats. (until now I bet)

All 305-70 R19.5 drive tyres have a similar tread pattern.
I find that in fine mud (like that around any of the rivers of the Murray Darling Basin in the wet) the M729 Bridgestone Drive pattern fills up so they turn into drag slicks. Tyre pressures have to be dropped to 15psi or the OKA becomes un-steerable.
