Default getting new tires

Just wondering if anybody here has ran the kumho road venture mt's. I was wondering how they wore and how well they performed offroad. I just saw them on a ram the other day and they looked awesome looked them up and they arent all that expensive.

i ran them in 31/10.5/15... they have great traction and they wore good...they look good but they are HEAVY the 31's were 70 lbs each add a steal rim and your near 400lbs in tires and rims...a 325/85/16 (38/11.5/16) military tire is about 110lbs with a rim.....thats the reason i wouldent buy them again...all the power sucking weight of a big tire with out the big tires.....

That is pretty heavy for just a 31" tire. My 35" Toyos weigh in at about 85lbs per tire.

My friend has a set of those on his F-150 and loves them. He says they are great on the road in any conditions and off road.

I think the 33 12.5 15's are only load range C. What is the max I would want to haul on that load tire?
