Default KUMHO Solus KL21
Just looking for some guidance here, I noticed the GC comes standard with the KUMHO Solus KL21 All-Season tyre. (I went down to Tynans today and the 2 Overlands in the yard had these tyres on them.)

The reviews in the US, UK and here are fairly poor, almost universally, on that tyre.

Now considering that our Jeep will be based mainly in the city, with an occasional foray to the NSW Ski fields or "light" off road duties, what do you suggest I consider for the tyres whilst I have the option?

So, they need to be reasonably comfortable, quiet and safe.

Any thoughts?

I didn't give them a chance, they just look way to much like car tyres for my liking. I picked mine up and drove straight to my local Cooper dealer and traded them on a set of A/T3's and couldn't happier. I'm omly 100kms into my new relationship with the Coopers but I can tell you is that they're heaps more aggressive yet very quiet, I can hear a small growl around 60kms but a 100 I can't hear them at all.

They're 20's and I think therein lies part of the problem. Heaps of good options in the 18's, not so much on the 20's.
