    Kumho MT71

    Starting to think about my next set of tyres for when I am allowed out again. Currently have Kumho MT51 and have been really happy with them. Had them on for close to 4 years and done approx 70k kms. Not sure what tread depth is however last rotation was 7 - 9mm (maybe 6 months ago).


    Found that Kumho have released the MT71. They look good. Does anyone know much about them? Haven't found much info apart from the below. For 265/70R17 the load index is 111 as opposed to 121 for the MT51.

    Hi James,

    I reckon there is a typo of the load index, a 111 is lightweight passenger construction tyre and I have never seen a MT that is this type of construction.
    This link states a load index of 121.

        Cheers OJ. Thought it was odd.
