I bought these because they were the cheapest AT tires I could get for my truck from my local shop. I can't believe how well they've done so far. They've worn slowly and evenly, but have been great in the winter (and I mean winter, I live in Alberta, Canada). They've been excellent on gravel, dirt, and snow, and the handling on the highway and in town hasn't disappointed. Not nearly as good as my dedicated winter tires on my SUV on ice, but much better than other North America all season tires I've run. I've never felt more confident on gravel, and love driving them in the snow. Like the one previous reviewer, I also got stuck once with them, and it was also my fault--buried the truck up to the frame in hard-packed snow--I could've had paddle wheels on and I wasn't getting out of there. I'm going to switch to a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs to drive to the arctic ocean next year (want a top-notch LT tire, these Kumhos are a P-construction in this size). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anybody, and if the Duratracs don't really impress me I'll go back to these Roadventures.
