A couple of weeks ago I went to get a set of sahara's, but came home with kumho kl's, they were new and cheaper , the last few days we've had alot of rain here so last night went to try them in a field that's had maize in , well cut up with lots of clay.

To be honest I did'nt like the look of the kl's, not sure why, but in the clay they are one of the best tyres i've had, much better than the stt's I had before, they don't seem to clog as bad and pull out of ruts well, on the road their better than most at's, but i think this has been achieved by using a very soft compound so I don't think there's much milage in them .

Are many people on here using them ?

Yep I'm on the Kumho KL71 MT's also, just as good as BFGoodrich Mt's and £40 a tyre cheaper.

They're directional though but that's not an issue really.

That's what I've got the 71's, just thought they seem a bit soft.

I'm using them...Drove to Portugal and back last year on them and am doing the same again this year. I have had no problems with them apart from them not liking to escape deep ruts. Seem to be wearing ok.

I think it was just one set of ruts...when we were rescuing Nelly. They didn't like reversing through that deep terracota either

mine didnt like gettin out of the ruts there either, took a bit for me to get out and im running more aggressive tyres then the kumho!

from what i have seen they are pretty good, boogers been running them as well but he was disappointed in their off road performance - ultimately he was expecting em to perform like my baja claws and other peoples insa turbo's etc. they are a good mud tyre, but they are just that, and not more. good 50 / 50 tyre i would imagine!
