I'd be interested in those tyres - they are similar OD to my Coopers (tad smaller than 27"). These ones are also on the cards -:

Fang afaik these tyres are not available in Australia.
i tried to get a set a while back, and i ended up speaking to an Aus Rep. And they dont get them in. not in the 27" size anyways.
The only kumho tyres in 27" for dirty terrain are the 834.

sucks. but apparently Australia isnt big enough nor do we have enough demand to get these delicious looking rubber imported.

Just got of the phone with Kumoh.... They are finding out if they can get me 50 tyres imported....
So I would need 10 people to buy a set of 5.....

I have 4x Kumho MT's in ok condition and 1 brand new if someone is interested in some 2nd hand treads (although i am thinking that it may be simple and cheeper to keep local).
Good luck getting the other stuff though.

Curious - I was told by a local tyre mob I couldnt have the 834s - but could get the others. Admittedly that was a few months ago. If you can get a price Justin - I could be interested.

834s you can get, but not the kl71.
834s prices are around 180 a pop.
so im guessing kl71 will be around there if not more?
but then the bulk buy might help that out a little

Also there are plenty of people running those buckshot mudders up here, cruisers and luxes and the like but still, not sure who sells them tho
