The Road Venture AT52 is Kumho's On-Road All-Terrain tire developed for drivers of Jeeps, SUVs and light trucks looking for rugged off-road performance, along with confident handling, comfort and all-season traction for the daily drive. Engineered to take command of rugged terrain along with surefooted handling in inclement weather, the Road Venture AT52 features wintertime traction sufficient to earn the tire industry's severe snow service rating and three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

Road Venture AT52 Callouts

A durable, cut-and-chip resistant tread compound is molded into a symmetric pattern engineered to balance off-road capabilities with on-road comfort and even wear characteristics. The compound's optimized polymer blend and complex structure carbon black enhances wear while helping improve dry and wet road traction for predictable handling on the pavement. A high-void pattern provides the necessary biting edges for off-road traction while its five-pitch block variation helps minimize road noise. Extreme Side-Biters help increase grip in loose, rutted terrain while also providing added puncture protection in the upper sidewall area. Robust shoulder block geometry features saw-tooth like edges for improved loose surface grip which work in conjunction with multi-angle, high-density sipes for light snow traction that meets the tire industry's severe snow service requirements.

Internal construction of the Road Venture AT52 utilizes a two-ply reinforced casing built to combine durability and ride comfort, while twin, high-tensile steel belts offer a sturdy foundation that help distribute the tire's load across its footprint. The enhanced under tread gauge is designed to increase comfort and puncture resistance with a single nylon cap ply helping maintain high-speed stability.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

...Excellent in snow, and rain...

I had 80,000+ miles on these tires (10ply) rotated regularly at 5000 miles, and kept at 65psi. Wear was even, no cupping or feathering. Excellent in snow, and rain. Road noise was minimal. Will definitely purchase another set.

...Both sets have excellent wet traction under 50k miles. the first set lost wet traction at that point, but still had plenty of tread, so I suspect it was an age (6 years) rather than mileage problem. This set is still great in the wet at a little over 1 year and 28k miles...

This is the second set I have bought. Both sets have excellent wet tract under 50k mile. the first set lost wet traction at that point, but still had plenty of tread, so I suspect it was an age (6 years) rather than mileage problem. This set is still great in the wet at a little over 1 year and 28k mile. I'm driving a lot more on this set. The last set I didn't rotate very often, and they got noisy at 20k miles and choppy tread at the shoulder at 40k miles, which increased the noise even more. This set is getting a 5-tire rotation every 5k miles and so far all quiet.

The Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac delivers excellent snow and deep snow traction, with most customers scoring 9s and 10s. Ice performance is very good (7-10 range), offering confident grip in winter conditions, though a few lower scores suggest occasional challenges on extreme ice.

...In snow they are decent...

The tires came factory installed on my AT4. I've gotten good milage out of these tire, however I have to shout at wife to have a conversation with her whenever we go due to the roar of these tires. I have done all the necessary things to get them to wear even, but the have cupped anyway. On the plus side, I think this has increased the traction the tires provide, because these tires do great when we go to Ocracoke for the week. Air down to 18psi, and they'll go though anything. In snow they are decent. So there are decent things about these tires, and some not so decent things. I just can get over the noise, so I will be trying something else.

...One time drove about 500 yards out of a large parking lot through waist deep snow on about 50% tread and didn't even slip a little, it was wild. Even on sheet ice, with the extra weight the hard edges on the tread always bit and held...

Great tire, second set for me, first one lasted 7 years of full time use (like 50k miles) with a 3500 pound camper on the back. One time drove about 500 yards out of a large parking lot through waist deep snow on about 50% tread and didn't even slip a little, it was wild. Even on sheet ice, with the extra weight the hard edges on the tread always bit and held. Went studded this time for snow, will probably get another summer set. Only complaint is they bounce a bit, sidewall could be firmer for a truck camper setup. Other than that, no complaints. Drives well, lasts well, good traction in all conditions including the most demanding winter driving up and down Mt. Hood.

These are the OEM tires on the 2025 RAM Rebel. They're good-looking tires with OWLs. It's a Load Range E tire that we run 55 PSI and 45 PSI per the OEM spec. It's a super comfortable ride and surprisingly responsive. My only complaint is that around town, there's some noticeable road noise (drone) that seeps into the cabin, but it isn't terrible at all and is expected for this type (offroad) tire. This is likely the quietest vehicle I've ever owned and RAM did a nice job isolating the noise as much as possible. I'll likely switch to an "on road A/T" type tire once these wear out.

I've had several experiences driving in the rain with these and it could be the 3.92 gears but if you give it any gas in the rain the rear tires spin so you need to be aware of that. In this truck we have 4WD "Auto" which I think I'll engage when driving in wet conditions to avoid the slippage.

Overall, a comfortable and good looking tire; just not what I really want or need for my application.
