Kumho Road Venture AT51 Review

When you expect your vehicle to perform well on versatile road and terrain surfaces, you need to make sure you invest in the correct set of all terrain tires. These tires need to be durable against the off-road conditions, while also ensuring a safer on-road performance.

Here at Priority Tire, we offer a wide range of all terrain tires in different sizes and vehicle fitments. One of our best-selling models for SUVs and light trucks is the Kumho Road Venture AT51 which ensures a reliable, durable, and safe driving experience both on- and off-road.

With this model, your vehicle will perform at its best capability in all weather and on all terrains, and it will promote exceptional driving safety for you and your passengers.

All Terrain Performance

All terrain tires need to be durable to safely perform in rugged off-road conditions. Their tread design, compound and internal structure must withstand the pressures affecting it. The tires need to have good traction and they must maintain their optimal shape to perform well.

The Road Venture AT51 ensures a secure performance. It was manufactured from a damage-resistant dual silica compound, which prevents cuts, enhances the tire’s strength, and resists heat build-up during the drive. Its tread design offers a wide footprint and it features staggered read blocks, a semi-open shoulder pattern, and wide grooves to find firm grip on all soft, loose and uneven terrain surfaces. In this manner, the tire is capable of conquering all off-road surfaces with ease.

This special tread design also manages to keep the tire’s footprint clean. The staggered tread blocks and wide grooves disperse mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements. As a result, the tire is never blocked from its contact with the road surface, while it actively resists stone retention from harming the tire’s casing. The constant clean footprint ensures better road and terrain contact, which upgrades the tire’s traction significantly.

All Weather Performance

Most all terrain tires also have all season performance. All season tires are desirable as they provide great traction throughout the year. This saves money in the long run, as summer and winter sets don’t need to be changed with the seasons.

The tire was manufactured with a dual silica compound, which was molded into a wide footprint with a symmetric tread design. The Road Venture AT51’s compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the tread design, with the optimal siping detail, firmly grips the road and terrain surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The tire’s self-cleaning nature keeps a clean footprint and prevents snow from being packed into the tread grooves. The tire received the three mountain peaks and snowflake symbol for its capability of performing well in severe winter weather.

Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard that causes many accidents. It happens when standing water cuts off the tire’s road contact. When driving on-road, the tire successfully prevents hydroplaning as well. The tread pattern’s wide circumferential grooves and optimal siping detail increase the hydroplaning resistance. They manage to disperse water and slush from below the tire’s footprint and avoid hydroplaning.

Fuel Efficiency

The only contact between the road and the vehicle are the tires. The pressure that affects the tires determines the tires’ rolling resistance, which manages the amount of energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The lowered rolling resistance decreases the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, making the tire more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.

The Road Venture AT51’s special dual silicone compound improves the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. The compound’s exceptional traction eases the pressure off the tire, which effectively lowers the rolling resistance. In this manner, the tire ensures lower fuel consumption during the drive, making it more cost efficient.

The tire’s reduced rolling resistance also manages to slow the tread wear rate down by taking the pressure off the tire. It lowers the possibility of heat build-up during the drive, which may cause premature tread wear. Furthermore, the silica compound is wear-resistant that ensures a longer lasting tread wear. The symmetric tread design of the wider road contact area avoids tread flexing, allowing the tread area to equally spread the driving pressure out across the tire’s surface. As a result, the tire ensures slower even treadwear throughout its lifetime.

Handling and Maneuvering

Tires need to be easy to control in all weather and on all terrain conditions for them to guarantee the driving safety needed.

The Road Venture AT51 was manufactured with the ESCOT Casing Technology and a stronger internal structure. These work together to maintain the tire’s optimal shape under the driving pressure affecting it and to prevent deformation during the drive. The ESCOT Casing Technology promotes an optimized sidewall cord tension circulation that improves the sidewall flexibility to upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, it enhances the steering response time and accuracy and secures the structure while the tires are in motion.

The tire’s steel belt structure is reinforced with a spirally wrapped nylon cord that maintains the tire’s optimal shape. This boosts the model’s off-road driving durability and increases its on-road driving stability. The constant road contact and ensured shape enable you as the driver to confidently control the vehicle in both rough weather and rugged terrain conditions.

On-Road Comfort

Road vibrations can ruin the vehicle’s driving comfort and irritate the passengers.

The Road Venture AT51 also features a polyester cord body that absorbs the shock of driving when the vehicle is driven on-road. This effectively lowers the road vibration levels felt in the vehicle’s cabin. The reduced road vibration levels provide a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
