Those of you who are regular followers of our Blog would be familiar with our story on the trial and reporting of the Kumho Roadventure SAT on our Landcruiser. Well after another pleasant visit to Tyrepower Sunbury, we had the tyres rotated and balanced and a visual check to see how they are going after 35,000klms they are performing as stated. by that I mean they are going really well. Of course they are showing signs of wear and degradation but not to the extent that I have seen other types of tyres after that many kilometres.They still have a lot of "meat" on them.
The rain over the last week or so has also given us a chance to try these tyres in the mud. We are currently in the goldfields of central Victoria and the back roads are usually gravel but with over 45mls of rain they have turned to a much stickier consistency. Needless to say, this is NOT extreme 4wdriving but the tyres worked a treat anyway. No sign of slippage or skidding, or any other problem. Now we have covered the whole gambit, bitumen surface, with hardly any road noise, deep fine sand, no need to engage low range or to adjust tyre pressures, and now light mud on clay based roads after heavy rain...All Good..
