Never been bogged, had only 1 flat tire. Supplied by Noels tire shop Wacol. 285/75/16 with a 3" lift. Tires are rotated and balanced as per agreement and had a 60000 km warranty at the time of purchase. once i click over 100000 I will replace them .

Fantastic tyres

published

Have had mine on my 2014 D Max ute for 12000 kms. Very little wear, having been on a 7500km trip to QLD towing a caravan and 2000 kms offroad hunting. Fantastic grip. Very quiet and smooth. Great sidewall strength. My last tyres bagged in the sidewall and were cut in numerous places.Extremely happy considering I only paid $230 fitted for each tyre. Would certainly buy them again.

Great value for money

Purchased a set of 5 MT51's in 285/75R16 and run them on my PX ranger. Great offroad grip in all terrains, most impressive in soft sand (Yalata, SA) where they really shone! I have now put 35k on these with a good mix of hard offroading, towing and highway use and they still have plenty of tread. Im expecting close to 70 - 80k at this rate.
They have very respectible road manners (incl wet bitumen) and arent to noisy. I rotate mine every 5k (incl spare) and id happily recommend these to anyone.
My only complaint is they are a PITA to balance.

Excellent so far

published

I purchased 6 of these in 33s and have done 5k since purchase
Perfomed really well off road as well as on.
Tackled mud, rocks and hills with ease.
Grip is good and minimal noise.
If they hold up well in the long term I do plan on repurchasing these.
Only complaint is that I wish they had the white lettering as they look too plain without it.

Great

Have ran pretty much every major tire on different rigs on different terrain. Have to say this would have to be or close the being the best aggressive all rounder I have had. And they are great in deep sand which is a hard achievement for a relatively aggressive tire. Will see how they go as they wear but so far, they are really impressive especially for the price.

Bloody good off road tyres

published

Kumho MT51 had them for around 20,000 km and love them, expect close to 70,000km before replacement, a little noisy on tarmac but not over bearing.
Fitted to a Nissan Navara D40 2014 with 40mm lift.
Off road these tyres are awesome, regardless of gravel, stones, mud, dirt roads they perform fantastically well.
Purchased them from Smithfield tyre and auto a Kumho official dealer.

CarNissan Navara D40

Pretty Happy

These tyres are a great allround tyre, exceptional on road grip for a mud tyre, very soft rubber making it easy to break up the mud when 4wdriving, got 40 000KM out of them which wasn't to bad I thought being a soft tyre but I would have hoped to get a bit more than that.

Great off-road - a little noisy on the road

published

The Kumho MT51 tyres are available at a great price which was my main reason for purchase. I purchased 265/75/16 size and they are really grippy on the road and so far very good offroad. I got offroad as soon as I could and they performed really well in the mud and slippery clay. They have quite chunky tread (14.5mm depth) without being as aggressive as other mud terrain tyres; Kumho sell these as "Mixed terrain" tyres (50/50 MT/AT). So far I am very happy with them although they do make a bit of road noise, especially at 50km/h. The dealer assured me 70 thousand K's so we'll see, so far I've done 1000km.

Are the walls on the mt 51 8 ply or 10 ply?

Joe
Joe

They are a modern 3ply same as all LT 4wd tyres. When looking at AT/MT research the ply as you can also get 2 ply (town car tyres) people get these to save some money then complain when the walls blow out

i have bridgestone on my Izusu bakkie at moment they are 9 years old but dont travel that much. I must now replace with new ones not because of thread but because of age. The dealer said Kumho are good tyres it is 245/70 R16 do you think it will be ok?

dunno ihave never heard that tyres need replacing cos of their age sides that as far as I know the bridgestones arnte a bad bit a gear but there u go the tyre dealer will only make a quid if he can con u inta new set re the kumho I cant realy remember how long they lasted 4 me I think it was about early 70,s k/s but not realy sure but long an short I think the dealer u r workin with is takin u 4 a ride but if u hafta the kumho,s r a nice bit a rubber

I am happy with the Kumho MT51 tyres but since they have an aggressive tread pattern, I wouldn't consider them unless you do a reasonable amount of offroading .
I have experienced a tyre failure due to age but it was double the age of your tyres and on a trailer .

Mark

Markasked

I was under the impression that the mt51 had the m+s and 3pmsf approval but I can't find the 3pmsf symbol anywhere on the new tyres I have just purchased. Am I jist not looking in the right place or is it likely I have old stock before they put the symbol on?

I only have M&S stamped on the tyre maybe contact Kumho Australia for verification, plenty of tyre suppliers state 3PMSF certification too...
