Consistent off-road performance is important for drivers who love a bit of adventure in their lives. That’s why the Kumho RoadVenture MT71 was developed with these adventurous customers in mind, to ensure they get long-lasting performance in a rugged tire that can handle all terrains and conditions.
One of the standout features of the RoadVenture MT71 is its high-void tread pattern featuring a zig-zag dual-pitch design. This aggressive tread provides maximum off-road traction, allowing drivers to take on challenging terrain with confidence. Whether navigating rocky areas, climbing steep inclines, or powering through muddy conditions, these tires will provide the grip performance you’re looking for. The tires feature a robust shoulder with biting edges, designed for durability and maximum traction. Speaking of traction, the aggressively designed sidewall with dual side biters further enhances that off-road traction.
The increased block stiffness of the MT71 also enhances on- and off-road handling performance, which helps to give me more control over the vehicle. That means drivers have more confidence when navigating tight spaces without losing traction or stability.
The RoadVenture MT71 tires also have a mud and stone ejector bar between the shoulder lugs to help prevent damage from stone drills and to aid with self-cleaning. With these tires, drivers can power through muddy or rough terrain without worrying about the tread getting clogged or damaged.
At the heart of these performance features, the MT71’s construction features seven integrated steel and fabric layers in both the tread and lower sidewall, and 3-ply high-strength construction. It incorporates two super-tensile steel cord layers typically used in commercial applications and two high-denier nylon protection plies in the cap and bead area. In fact, it has over 11,000 feet of polyester cord in one RoadVenture MT71 tire. That’s over two miles of cord in one tire alone. These rugged construction features mean the MT71 tire offers durability, which is important for drivers tackling rugged terrain.
Performance and durability features aren't the only strengths of the MT71. Kumho has also developed a new tri-blended compound that focuses on treadwear and durability optimized for grip and durability in rough or rocky terrain plus handling and stability in all conditions.
Let’s take a look at the MT71 by the numbers. With 40 interlocking intermediate lugs, 240 precision-placed sipes to extend all-weather capability, and five individual pitches for civilized road manners and ride comfort, this tire delivers exceptional off-road performance without sacrificing on-road comfort.
We've talked a lot about the off-road performance features of this vehicle, but what about on-road comfort? Well, another great feature of the MT71 is its noise reduction tech. Kumho's proprietary pattern tuning tool conducted over 10 million noise iterations to determine the pitch sequence for the MT71, resulting in 20 different pitches around the circumference. This results in reduced road noise, providing a quieter and more comfortable ride, even with the aggressive tread design.
If you're looking for a tire that can perform in any terrain while offering durability and performance, look no further than the Kumho RoadVenture MT71. With its aggressive tread design, robust construction, and advanced compounding thanks to rigorous testing, this tire is built to exceed your expectations, both on and off the road.
