I have used the Kumo's previously and currently have the Hankook and can say for me the Hankook are great for the moooolar.

KL71's poor side ways grip and wear quickly.

Check out Maxxis as well, cheap, strong, quite on road... Buckshots are their standard muds

My KL71s seem to have pretty good grip and have very little wear after 12 months or so of commuting.
