Those look like Superswampers. I ran the MT51's on my 4Runner. They were great tires. I was thinking of them for my Tacoma. Maybe these might fit the bill.

 

Looks like a beefy tire!

 

I might be the guinea pig on this one need new tires sooon

 

I just put a set of Road Venture MT KL71 265/75/17 on TRD pro sema replica rims. I've driven about 1000k on highway and only a few k on fire roads. I have a set of Blizzak DM12 winters that I didn't want to wreck as the weather warms up but I wanted an off road alternative to my TRD sport OEM all seasons. The Kumho aren't quiet and they use more gas than my winters and summers but I haven't calculated exactly ow much yet. I did get to drive them in a snow storm at about 0 degrees and they aren't as grippy on ice as the blizzaks. I think the are going to be great in the mud and I had great grip in deep snow with them.

 

Kind of remind me of the Maxxis Creepy Crawlers:

 

And that tire reminds me of the Maxxis RZR

 

Looking forward to some real world reviews on this tire. I'm going to a mud tire after my current tires wear out.

 

Finally got to use the Kumho tyres in the manner they were intended. Deeply rutted muddy trail was no match for the exceptional grip of these tyres.

Got the Kumho mt71s on the truck right now. Heavy tires lol.

 

The tread pattern looks like a slightly more spaced out Patagonia MT. Interesting.

I run the Maxxis MTs that someone mentioned above in one of the ancient posts.
