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.

Kumho Road Venture AT52 Reviews

Owners report excellent dry traction with scores of 9-10, highlighting confident handling and stability on paved surfaces. Wet performance earns consistent praise (7-10 range), with strong hydroplaning resistance in most conditions. Winter capabilities show reliable traction in snow and ice (scores 7-10), though a few note reduced grip on sheer ice. Ride comfort receives positive feedback (7-10), with many appreciating smoothness despite occasional mentions of road noise. Treadwear ratings (7-10) reflect durable performance for an all-terrain tire, though longevity varies slightly based on driving habits. The tire's balanced on-road manners and rugged versatility make it a strong choice for drivers prioritizing all-weather capability.

So far so good. The tires are quiet and have great traction in the rain here in FL. The ride is more comfortable than the stock Falken Wild Peak tires I had on my truck from the factory.

The Kumho Road Venture AT52 delivers excellent snow traction, with most ratings scoring 8s and 9s. Deep snow performance is strong, often rated 9-10. Ice traction shows solid capability (many 7s-8s), though some variability in lower scores highlights room for improvement on slick surfaces.

...I've had the a51's before these a52's came out, and they were spectacular in the snow. I drove through 14" of fresh snow in a blizzard one day with noooo problems...

Big fan of this series of tires, I’ve had the a51’s before these a52’s came out, and they were spectacular in the snow. I drove through 14” of fresh snow in a blizzard one day with noooo problems. Even hit some unexpected black ice one day in 2wd, spun me out into a ditch real quick and was sitting in like 3-4 feet of plowed snow and ice, and kicked it in 4wd and pulled me right out!!!
Very comfortable ride, no noise. Was very happy with them and so far I have no complaints with the new ones either.

...Traction is excellent on pavement and dirt...

This tire was an increase in the size due to a change in the aspect ratio. The increase in diameter has slightly increased ground clearance and has improved the looks of the truck by filling more of the wheel well while still having proper clearance all around. The tread pattern is fairly aggressive and I was concerned about a possible issue with road noise, but the reviews eased my concerns and I have found that they have proven to be remarkably quiet even at highway speeds up to 80 mph. Traction is excellent on pavement and dirt, but no mud or snow experience yet. Too early to tell about tread wear, but the rating is excellent and I am hopeful that they will last a long time. Pricing was excellent by comparison to other options and I think I made a very good purchase. Very happy so far.

...Dry traction, dry braking no problems from these soft tires...

No issues at all mounted on a 4" lifted ram 2500 4x4. We have not had any real snow in NJ for years now, but as for the few inches here and there, the traction was spot on. Wet traction is perfect, even with 12.5 wide I have not hydroplaned. The sipes do their job well.
Dry traction, dry braking no problems from these soft tires.
It's a 2500 so comfort is what it is, these tires aren't going to make the springs any softer. Although they do not add to harshness as some strictly mud oriented tires do. No whine going down the road, but again they are not mud grooved.
Anyway I'm rambling, great tires.. I'll buy them again when it is time. So should you.

...The tires were no noisier then the Michelin's I removed on the truck and I have had no issues with them...

These tires have held up well in 5000 miles and are wearing perfect on my Tundra. I have tested them in a few snow storms, even hauling my snowmobiles and I am very impressed with their snow performance which was one of my main concern when purchasing tires for my truck. The tires were no noisier then the Michelin's I removed on the truck and I have had no issues with them. Certainly would recommend them for the price to anyone.

...Have put about 10000 miles on them, about 6000 miles of which is pulling a fifth wheel. They still look brand new tread...

Great tire. Have put about 10000 miles on them, about 6000 of which is pulling a fifth wheel. They still look brand new tread. Quiet, controlled highway ride. Even when no pulling the trailer, they have a very confident feeling. I have experienced good traction in all situations, even pulling my trailer up steep gravel and dirt roads. Nice firm sidewalls when towing - no squishy feeling that you get with tires with a weak sidewall. The one area that I noticed that they could improve - small stone and rock ejection. Deep in the main grooves of the tire, they do not have the little knobs that vibrate to help eject small stones that get deep into the tread. So the small stones will stay for a while before being ejected. Yeah, a minor issue. I would buy these again for sure.
