Our verdict on the Kumho Road Venture AT52
Price-to-performance is the Kumho Road Venture AT52's strongest axis at 9/10, with snow traction next at 8/10 and a 7.1/10 blend as an all-terrain. It gives ground where the profile says it should — mud clearing at 4/10 and visual aggression at 5/10, 5 points under its best axis but outside the blended figure, and the dataset flags it when a premium brand name is the priority. It carries the 3PMSF severe-snow symbol, sits in the budget-tier bracket at #16 of 50 overall and 10th of 18 all-terrains, is catalogued in 10 Tacoma sizes on 16- through 18-inch wheels, and rests on 1 cited source. Its lead use cases are budget daily driving and snow driving, one place behind the Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT/AT2 in our ranking.

| Axis | What it covers | Score | In blend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road comfort | pavement ride quality and noise | 7/10 | Yes |
| Wet grip | traction on wet pavement | 7/10 | Yes |
| Snow | packed snow and winter road traction | 8/10 | Yes |

| Efficiency | weight and rolling resistance | 6/10 | No |
| Looks | how aggressive the tread and sidewall read | 5/10 | No |

7 of the ten axes feed the blended number (road comfort, wet grip, snow, trail, durability, tread life, and value); mud, efficiency, and looks are shown for the Kumho Road Venture AT52 but sit outside it, which is why a mud or looks score can run well above or below the headline.

Tacoma sizes the Kumho Road Venture AT52 comes in
The catalog behind this dataset records the Kumho Road Venture AT52 in 10 sizes that fit common Tacoma wheel diameters, spanning 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels. Of those, 10 have a Tacoma fitment page on this site, linked below.
Those 10 entries are the dataset's own availability list for the Kumho Road Venture AT52, not a live retailer feed — a model with a thin catalog gets a short list here rather than a padded one.

Kumho Road Venture AT52 on a Tacoma: common questions
In our editorial synthesis the Kumho Road Venture AT52 blends to 7.1/10 across the seven all-round axes, which places it 10th of 18 all-terrains and #16 of 50 in the whole research set. Its case rests on value for the money (9/10) and snow traction (8/10), so it suits budget daily driving, snow driving, and value per dollar.
The research catalog records the Kumho Road Venture AT52 as offered in 10 sizes that fit common Tacoma wheel diameters: 245/75R16, 265/70R16, 265/75R16, 245/70R17, 265/65R17, 265/70R17, 275/70R17, 285/70R17, 265/70R18, and 275/70R18.

The Kumho Road Venture AT52 carries the 3PMSF severe-snow-service symbol, and our synthesis puts its snow axis at 8/10. That combination is what qualifies it as a year-round tire in states with severe-snow tire rules, though a dedicated winter tire still out-grips any all-season or all-terrain on ice.
The weakest marks in the Kumho Road Venture AT52's profile are mud clearing at 4/10 and visual aggression at 5/10. The dataset flags it as the wrong choice when a premium brand name is the priority and you run hardcore rock trails. Those judgements come from the 1 cited source listed on this page, not from anything measured here.
