Kumho KL71 Mud-Terrains, I have them currently fitted to my jeep

They give excellent grip in mud, but clog up pretty easily in clay if you must know! Road traction is considerably better than any other mud-biased tyre I have ever used but it is probably not as good as an ordinary road tyre in any road condition when fitted to something like the D3 or XC90. I have only ever used mud-biased tyres on less road biased 4x4s where the road holding is below par on any tyre.

They are I think the best choice for an offroad tyre on "softer" (No offence meant) 4x4s like the D3 or XC90.

Whatever you do, do not opt for the brand leaders -BFG- on any SUV. Extremely hard wearing tyres but in the wet on the road traction is abysmal, again its acceptable on live-axled 8ft high old lard rovers or heeps but on something that can actually corner you will get caught out.
