Kumho Road Venture AT KL78 265/75 R16 119/116S

All terrain - heavy duty

Aggressive off-road traction available on demand with surprising road manners. Aggressively shaped lugs generate traction on both hard and soft surfaces and resist cutting and chipping in severe off-road conditions.

Square profile maximizes contact area for improved traction
Extra void area in the tread pattern evacuates water and mud
Pitch sequence and contour optimization minimize tyre noise
Sidewall with outline white letter styling (most sizes)

Regulation (EU) 2020/740

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

Very good tyre still has 10,000+ km of life. Ok in light snow good in the wet this tyre has never let me down.

Excellent tires. I use to run a full mud terrain tire because I run a logging company and are constantly off road and on road. These tires perform great. No noise or wobble, they wear excellent and grip and pull the best ive ever seen with a all terrain tire, They clean excellent in the mud and pull great. These are by far the best ive ever bought and I will be putting them on all my service trucks because no matter rain or snow or mud they do great and also are light so better fuel mileage

Quite like them, but gripping on wet road is poor. Not brilliant on Scottish roads...
