Tyre Comparison - Kumho Road Venture AT52 vs AT51
Вставка

- Ah Sunday (the day this was posted on)- the day we all pretend to do nothing, but actually do a lot because it's the only spare day to catch up on the things you couldn't do Monday through to Saturday.
Anyway, hows this for a good thing to do on a Sunday, or any day, just incase you aren't watching this in the instance it was posted- It's a video of Jared talking about the differences between two rubber doughnuts (mmm doughnuts).
These two rubber doughnuts are actually tyres, and yes you are not lost, this is tyre review not doughnut review, though that gives me a very good side channel idea. Enough drooling, Now let's look at the Kumho Road Venture AT52 vs its predecessor (wow that word could almost be a dinosaur name) the AT51.
The new AT52 aims to blend the perfect combination of performance for your 4X4 life, this all-terrain tyre aims to take command of rugged landscapes when off-road whilst simultaneously providing a comfortable on-road experience.
Join Jared as he compares the meerkat between both the AT52 & AT51 tyres from Kumho.
Thanks for watching and remember to like always.
Don't forget to head over to www.tyrereview.com.au and review your tyres.
Taking your 4WD for a spin? Got these on your wheels? We would love to hear your thoughts on the Kumho Road Venture tyres. - Авто та транспорт

I’ve used the 51’s for the last 4 years on my mail route. They are awesome! They last longer than any other tire I’ve found. They also have never let me down in snow and mud. I drive 124 miles a day, with 90% dirt and gravel. I’m quite worried the new ones won’t last, or give the traction of the ‘ol tried and true AT51’s.
The 52 are currently the front runner for our 2021 4Runner’s new rubber. Falken wildpeak at3/4W is a close second. K02/3 are also there. And the mt71.
Just bought some AT51, looking forward to trying them out.
Excellent in depth review 👏
The AT52 looks just like the Hankook AT2 which is a grippy and soft riding tyre. Also quite cheap.
Would love to find out the compared weights of all the AT tyres. Rotating mass is a big deal especially for the smaller vehicles like the Suzuki Jimny. Also would like to know which is better on wet highway/ dirt roads Toyo Open Country AT3, Bridgestone Dueler 697, Yokohama G015. Thanks. 😊
I'm super happy with the 52. The 51 is dangerously slippery on a wet road especially when it gets less then 50% wear. By example I'm talking locking up on braking, understeer around roundabouts and also spinning the rears when I accelerate from 50 or 60 kmph. I drive a tuned Holden Colorado TD. The 52 has eliminated all that and I feel much safer on the road. I also notice it has a better performance in sand off-road. What you said about side wall makes sense. I can air down to 11psi without too much bulge.
Thanks this helped me I just bought the A52. North America.
Have you done a review on the Rugged trek yet?
The AT51 is 3 peak rated. Also has 12.7mm tread depth on LT variants.
I brought the AT52’s because they were on special. LT265/70/17 on my single cab Amarok.
Very comfortable and quite so far. Initially I was worried, they definitely don’t have the stiffer sidewalls found on the same spec KO2’s or Falken AT3W’s I have had in the past, but to be honest I prefer how nice these are in terms of ride quality. It makes going to a LT285/70/17 seem less of an issue in terms of noise and fuel usage.
I love both the KO2 and AT3W’s however they both start making a lot more noise at around 30,000 a 50,000k usage
Only issue I have found with the AT52’s is that they pick up little rocks and pin them between the tred, and a lot of them, they don’t come out at all!
Lost me with the statement that 3 peak snow flake rating made a difference on black ice. Black ice is a non conforming glass like surface, no rated tire besides metal spiked makes any difference in grip on black ice. 3 peak refer to snow grip only, which is a completely different kettle of fish from black ice.
Relax
I think you’ve probably had no real winter tire. My real winter tires had sufficient levels of grip on black ice, whereas I wasn’t even able to walk on it without falling over, using normal rubber sole shoes. Also summer tires would’ve been totally useless.
@@Gemini_0815 I've had plenty, and proper winter tyres are great, and an absolute necessity when driving in snowy winter, but, they do not work on black ice. Normal iced roads, sure they make a difference, but not on actual black ice (which is pretty rare) In 8 years of winter driving, each with some months of snow, I've only ever come accross true black ice twice.
@@brianjensen5200 they are heaps better than summer tires on black ice. They don’t make black ice feel like dry asphalt - that’s true. But to say „they don’t work“ as in „they aren’t any better compared to summer tires“ just isn’t accurate.
Terrible comment Brian
Can you review the black bear rugged terrain Tyers?
Two cents, I have the 51 in an LT 285/70 17 on an f150, and now that they are around 30-40% tread left they like to hydroplane… I’m starting to think that any tire much below ( I’ll be generous) 40% is not going to perform near as good as one might hope, soooo, something to keep in mind as far as price is concerned? Saw the me of your tests that showed hydroplane and a separate wet break test 👍 something to definitely keep in mind as to your specific driving conditions. I personally usually leave enough room for stopping, but recently had a bit of an annoying highway road trip where hydroplaning was the bigger concern . Food for thought? Also, my 51’s are 3peak rated
which would you recommend more if I mostly drive in highways? kumho rv at52 or toyo oc at3?
Don’t suppose you could do a review on the radar regarding rt+ thanks
which has a better rim protector? kumho at52 or toyo at3?
Just got the AT52s without knowing the AT51s were gone. Have to wait for some snow but so far I like them the same or more than the 51s. They seem quiter and run smooth
Looking these up while I watch this video, these are surprising expensive for an offbrand (in the US) tire.
I see they've dropped the 19 inch sizes in the new AT52 which is annoying, as the AT51 was one of very few 19inch tyres which were handy on and off-road!
Just grabbed AT51 in 275 for my Wrangler. Couple things I like more about the 51 than the 52:
1. Weight. AT51 in 275/70R17 is 5 pounds lighter than AT52 in same size. 3:00 you say the opposite, this is not true. This is unsprung weight, too, so multiply its effects. Makes a difference in handling.
2. Water ejection. AT51's tread will handle rain and wet way better. AT52 has no obvious continuous water ejecting channels. AT51 has plenty.
AT52 looks like the hankook RF11. Both being Korean companies makes sense
it looks like my mavis mountaineers are somewhere between the at52 and at51.
I went from a Nexan Roadian AT to the Kumho AT52, the 52 was dangerous in the wet, especially towing snd the 10 ply was horrific in comfirt. I put the Nexans back on and its far safer and more comfortable.
Are they E rated (10 ply)?
There is an E rated one but you have to make sure it has the E after the size.
Have a brand new Hilux Rogue turning up at the end of the month and looking at either the at52 or the Yokohama G015, what do you recommend?
I will go for Yoko G015, best tyre on laterite
Don't worry, we Merican's interchange between metric and standard all the time 🙆♂
Anyone know how the AT52 compares to the Falken Wildpeak AT3W?
AT52 is softer riding, just came off a pair of Wildpeaks. It was noticeably a smoother and more comfortable ride. LT265/70/r17
@@reubs91 Legend, cheers for writing back
The AT52s siping only goes halfway into the tread. So, at half-life, there is zero siping left. It becomes a dangerous, slippery tire. Very cheap to do that. Why it's half the price of others. You get what you pay for.
AT51 is very similar to the Goodyear Wrangler AT and discontinued ArmorTrac; however, no where near as good of a tire as either.
DINT KNOW WHY PEOPLE SPENT THERE MONEY ON KUMO JUNK. SPEND SLIGHTLY MORE GET 25% MORE MILAGE. BALANCE OUT BETTER OFF SPENDING FOR QUALITY MID GRADE TIRE NOT KUMO
Check your spelling. It's Kumho. And your CAP LOCK is stuck on.
