That's helpful to know re: wear. The Kumho AT 51 tirerack.com description includes "cut-resistant dual silica tread compound optimized for strength and heat dispersal". Searching online, I see that Kumho introduced a newer tire design (compound) in 2015 http://www.autosphere.ca/tirenews/2015/06/02/kumho-two-new-tires/ I wonder if that has helped reduce tire wear? Interesting that Kumho offers no Treadlife Warranty for LT tires. BFG shows no Treadlife Warranty at all.
