Kumho KL71s or Maxxis Bighorns?

[bakerboy]

as it suggest im chasing info on the 2, if anyone has some first hand accounts on the 2 tyres feel free to post up. looking in particular for wear rate and wet road handling

Cheers guys

btw prices for the 2 are as follows
KL71's $280each
Bighorns $240each
size is 31x10.5x15

From what i have found on here the KL71's have better road manners yet wear quicker, yet bighorns are cheaper, great off road and wear a bit better

anyway, post away guys

edit: They will be going on a TJ, with about 70:30 road:offroad, with offroad consisting of varying terrain of sand rock and clay like mud

KL71 - directional.. but you knew that from reading the tyre topics on them.

[bakerboy]

correct i have read both tyre topics and at this stage im torn between the 2

kl71's

any day of the week..

x2-directional
more wear but so much better offroad
dont quote me but my mates patrol run them as daily's and got 50-60 odd thousand off em..pretty go for a muddie..

have you searched different tire shops,mates just bought 33's(305/70/16) and paid $285 a tire..

also kl71's are a lesser known tire,as in everyone runs bighorns where kl71's arent as common..

cheers..smiley..

iv got a set of 305/70/16 bighorns on my 100 series, i do most of my work on road, they are great on road, nice and quiet, and grip well, in wet and dry conditions.
in the mud they work very well, and clear out good.

as for wear i cant really comment, iv done 10,000 on them and they still look new.

( i swapped from cooper s/t`s to the big horns, they are by far a better tyre)

i have bighorn 33s and i think they are great. been on there for 15 months and its my daily as well and the sipping has only just disappeared at the back and there is still some at the front. Would be better if i rotated them more. Awesome offroad too

Bighorns all the way. Maxxis do know how to build a great tire. And are good on the pocket.
