All Terrain Tires

I have not rotated the original Michelin Cross Terrain tires on my Toyota 4Runner SR since purchased in July 2004. Still tread left on front tires, but back ones have very little but with over 100,000 miles I couldn't expect much more. The Spare is brand new (never on the ground). But with age-related weather cracks, not good to put it on the ground now. Not sure whether the Road Noise is because of the tires or the age of the 4Runner. I thought about driving it until the first flat, then buy 4 Michelins. But driving on turnpikes/freeways a lot, I've decided that wouldn't be very smart. So I will order Michelins from Tirerack.com. Tried putting actual miles of 100,465 but the form won't let me.

I cannot say how much I love these tires off road !!!! If you're looking for an exceptional offload tire with good on road manners then look no further. I've tackled mud, rocks, and extremely deep snow (several feet deep) and these tires have pretty much reduced my winch usage to monthly checks and maintenance because I've yet to need to use it since getting these tires. I wheel mostly in the Black Hills of SD, that being said I cannot tell you how good they handle deep mud, however if they perform half as well in deep mud as they have in all of the other terrains then they will do great! These will be the only tires I put on my Jeep unless Goodrich develops a better set :)

A good tire for the price, a little noisier than expected, but if I wanted a quiet tire I would have gone with michelins. Previously had pirelli scorpion atr's, they were the best tires I ever had on my truck, did everything far beyond my expectations, but the price jumped up $300 for the set so I started looking at other options. Decided to try these out, I liked the all terrain tread for the snow and driving on the beach. So far holding up well, probably get 35 to 40,000 out of them, not bad for the way I drive. A lot of tread squirm for the first 2-3,000 miles but settled in after that, had to slow down a lot for the on/off ramp almost felt like I was going to lose it, but never lost traction though. But, after 2-3000 miles the uneasiness went away and the back end didn't fell like it was going to pass me anymore. They definitely don't handle like the pirelli's they replaced, it helps to remind me I'm driving a full size truck and not a sports cars. I'm sure I added about 10,000 miles to the life of the tires because of it. Not necessarily a bad thing.

These are now discontinued tires replaced by the Latitude Tour. Like the truck like off road aggressive look of the Cross Terrain tires. The tread is still good but the tires are literally developing large deep cracks in the tread blocks and side tread blocks and the rubber is disintegrating to the point where they now have to be replaced per the recommendations of multiple tire shops. Guess it is time to replace as they are OEM 10 year old tires now.

Been running this set of tires for 6 years now and have about 70,000 miles on them. They STILL look and handle as if they were brand new. Excellent tire, unbelievable tread life. Definitely will be buying these again.

This is a very impressive tire. It has great looks, performs well on and off road, and is even quiet.

I previously had different brand mud-terrain tire, which performed well off road, was very difficult to balance, and as the tread wore was horrible load. I have been pleasantly surprised at how quiet these tires are. It still has the traditional mud terrain hum, but the volume is turned way down. It's actually quieter than many AT tires out there.

I have driven this over ever terrain possible, and it performs admirably. The thing it does the worst on is wet pavement, and it still does that rather well. I have found that when it's rainy, I can expect a little loss of traction if I push it too much. But I have never felt unsafe. It certainly won't hydroplane with the tread depth on these tires.

Tread wear has been good, I think I will probably replace them at about 50,000 miles of use, which is far beyond most sticky mud terrain tires. One thing to note about these or most mud terrain tires, is that they are heavy. I upgraded my brake discs and pads to compensate for the extra weight these carry.

Overall I couldn't be happier!

Best set of light duty truck tires ever owned.
Going to buy another set as soon I can wear these out.
I still have 3/16" of tread left on all 4 tires.

These are great winter tires. I have a jeep 4x4 and these out perform my wrangler with its all terrain tires in the snow any day. If you are looking for a set of snow tires these are the ones you want.

I have read other reviews that these tires tend to hydroplane, but they have never done so with me. I live in Central NY where we average 150 inches of snow a year and I have never even been close to being stuck and have pulled many others out of ditches. Granted I drive an FJ Cruiser with all the bells and whistles, but the tires get some credit. The noise level is surprisingly low. I don't even notice any noise, but maybe I'm used to it. The best thing about these tires is the wear great. I have over 77K miles on them and will probably get close to 80K by the time a change them out. I will definitely get another set. Before this vehicle I had a Nissan Xtera that also had BF Goodrich tires (not sure of model but were a less aggressive tire) that also got over 70K.

Put these on my 1997 F350 Crew cab long bed 7.3 Powerstroke and I am satisfied greatly with performance. From driving 12 miles to school, driving 400 miles to visit family, they perform well. Off the road isn't amazing but better than I expected. Even pulling 12,000 pound 5th wheel at 80 psi the tires do amazing job. Great tire probably buy again.

I just got these tires and they made a huge difference. I had Cooper all terrains on my truck before and they were horrible. And they had really soft side walls s they made my truck drive like I was on ice all the time. These kumhos are very quiet and firm. There a very nice tire

I use these on my 4 wheel drive winter/ off road truck and with these tires driving in the snow barely affects the traction i get. It is just like driving in normal conditions. Even in mud and gravel i feel plenty of traction. A great tire in every day driving conditions as well. If you're looking for great all terrain tires these are the best you can buy. I've owned plenty of different brands and these are by far the best

Have purchased a set of 4, every year for the past 10 years. These are the only tires I 'have to have'. Use on work vehicle as well as personal vehicle. I am a rural carrier 150 daily miles Conditions: snow, ice, drifting snow, slush, gravel, sand, rocks, manure, and mud Vehicle Type: car and 4x4 truck I use these tires until they wear out in usually 5 to 6 months. They do wear quickly during warm weather, but last longer if the winter is colder (below freezing). If used on the interstate, they will start to sound loud at higher speeds of 65mph. These are quiet for snow tires and do not affect your gas mileage much. No complaints with the handling. No lean when cornering. Please rememeber these are not sport tires so I am compairing to average all season radials. I use two sets per year, but this is hard stop and go driving over multiple kinds of road terrain and with vehicle weighted down with mail. Tires only last 6 months for me, even the all season radials. Everyone in our office now uses these tires, even those who are not carriers. We all swear by them. I have never had to stud them. They always get me thru everything. One co-worker has been using them for three winters now. Says he may be able to make it thru a fourth. Puts them on in Nov and removes them in early spring. I recommend these tires to everyone.

I am willing to pay the higher price for these to get a more aggressive tread and incredibly quiet ride. Hard to get both. I tow a travel trailer and go on road trips a lot and couldn't be happier with getting over 40k miles out of these. Quiet ride is huge to me and on a 3/4 ton SUV, they ride great as well. Deeper snow is tough but unless you have mud terrain, most tires will have a tough time.

I purchased these tire right before winter and am happy with them for the most part. They get a little hard below 20degrees but seem to get better after a few miles. They are good in snow and very good in the rain. They seem to be wearing very well so far and hope they give better tread life than the Michelin Cross Terrain that they replaced. I did notice a increase in mileage of almost a mile per gallon which I was impressed by. All in all I would buy them again.
