I am he, fear me
Just chalked up another 400 K's today on dirt/gravel and the KL78's are still going really well. They really are a great bit of kit on the dry tracks
I am slightly disappointed in them on the Beach tho, they are still good but not great. The sidewalls allow the tyre to bag out sideways a bit too quickly so you don't get the benefit of the longer footprint at the expected deflation pressures IE they will bulldoze before they will float...
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Hello,
I`m using Road venture KL71 MT. I was very surprised on silent running. Performance in mud excellent, snow also. If We take to sand is ok but working like excavator .
My opinion 8 in 0-10 scale.

Hi all,
I have had my 285/75/16 KL71 on my GU for about 2500km. All good so far. I have played in the mud, on the beach and in the dirt.
Cheers

I got mine yesterday and have 50kms so far and I would agree moo_r32, but they are still a mud tyre so if anyone decides to get them thinking the are a highway terrain they will be dissapointed. I cannot wait to get out and get them dirty.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Ive done a few 100kms on mine now on road and they are fantastic. A slight ripple feeling at speeds less than 5kms/hr.
I had some f#$%wit in an old dunnydore try to undertake me around a roundabout the other day and I couldn't handle it so I maintained speed into the roadabout (noone else around bar us) and hit the roundabout at 80km/hr and the car gripped very nicely to the road as I went around. Oh and my tb42e out of the roundabout smashed the dunnydore (VP or similar).
I am off to melbourne in 6 weeks and will be doing some wheeling there so I will keep this thread updarted with how I feel the tyres perform. Ill also try and get out in QLD to some rocks to see how they go.

Update - I have now done 10,000kms on the KL71's and they are wearing evenly and still haven't passed the 15,000km wear indicator so I am happy with them. They do have a few cuts in them though not from offroading. Happened on road, not sure what it was though, glass maybe oh well. I don't blame the tyre for this, even if they are a softer compound tyre. For the price I still cannot fault them - hopefully now that Uni is over they will get some more use offroad to really test them out.
