Very unsatisfied I had them on a 2011 Silverado z71 n wet pavement performance was horrible. I have a dirt driveway that turns to mud when it rains and had to put in 4wd just to get out compared to other brands

What drivers say about their 265/70 R18 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Im no tire nerd, but these tires have handled well on the road, are quit and responsive. We recently had 12 inches of snow and they handled it incredibly and were comfortable and capable on ice as well. Additionally the few times I have taken them in sand and mud in
Chevy Colorado; they have not let me down.

I’ve been running the Kumho Roadventure AT52s on my Nissan Patrol for about 12,000 kms, and I’m really impressed. They are priced well compared to other big-name brands, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet and smooth they are on the road, I honestly expected more noise and a rougher ride.
Off-road, my focus is on sand dunes, and these tires haven’t let me down. I drop the pressure to around 15 PSI, and they perform great on both hard-packed and loose soft sand.
If I had to nitpick, I wish they were a bit lighter and had white lettering on the sidewall (purely for looks, of course

I bought these tires from a dealer in starbuck mb and they told me they would be better in snow and ice than my geolander all weather tires had been. Well that was a big lie these tires are not good in snow and ice i have had all season radials that were better than these. I am driving along the other day on white ice on the highway with a strong wind. The tires are so poor that my titan was blowing sideways that is down right dangerous it took me in a store parking lot 50 feet to stop in slushy snow from 15 mph. if you need good tires for winter don't buy these I am not sure how they can have the mountain peak snow symbol
Being an all-weather tire, it's surprisingly good all year with very few compromises ! Summer performance is very good ! I live north of Montreal, Canada so we get a lot of snow and ice from November to April so winter performance is my no1 priority : snow traction is as good as winter tires, ice traction is not as good as a real winter tire but close enough and way better than regular all-season tires ! Noise is a non-issue, very quiet tire ! Wear is not as good as I expected, they seem to wear quickly, they will need replacement at around 22 000 miles to keep a good winter performance, but I guess that's the price to pay for a better compound for wintry conditions. I would 100% recommend this tire !
Rides a lot like the AT3 but just seems a bit smoother. Excellent offroad, they've taken some abuse.
Done 30k on them and just roadworthy. Rotated every 5k aligned every 10k. Tyrw rep said because driving a Y62 Patrol will not help our with other tires. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. ATTITUDE SUCKS TOO. Cost so much and everyone I have spoken to said wearing way too early. DON'T BUY THESE TYRES
On 2018 GMC SIERRA SLT 4X4 SHORT BOX. Disappointed with winter driving and handling, not to good on rolling. Sidewalls should have extra plies. Wouldn't buy again.
