That's good to know. The KM2's came in second place to the Duratracs but I may have to try them on the next go 'round.

I am running falken Rocket Mountain ATS II (also known as wild peaks). They are 285/75-16's (got to love auto correct on phones), they aren't the most aggressive, but they handle well in the rain, and dirt. Haven't ran them offroad or in the snow yet. They look great and handle well. I am on stock 16" wheels with no spacers and currently no lift installed. There is only slight rubbing on the driver side sway bar at full lock.
Hey JeepLab... I've been looking into upgrading to 37's and I've always remembered your posting on these tires. These tires interest me a lot but I have a question on the width. My Micky T's Baja ATZ's have a size written on them of 35"x12.5x20", however, when I measure the tire, they are actually 13.5" wide. I REALLLLLLLLY like the look of the 13.5" width vs. other 12.5" widths I've seen. On your KM2's, are they measuring at 12.5" wide or are they coming in wider? I see they offer a 38" but it is 14.5" wide. I like the 37" because they are only 4 lbs heavier than my 35" ATZ's, whereas the 38" is showing 16 lbs heavier than my ATZ's.
I'll measure.
My tread is 9.5 inches, the tire is a little over 12.
I use a lot of pressure, so they are tall and thin. Would probably be wider with a wider rim. My rim is 8.5
Okay, thx. I just measured mine again (as it had been a while) and my treadblock is 10", and the tire overall is 12.5" to 12.75" (eyeballing it.) My rim is 10". What do you think the KM2's would flatten out to with a little lower pressure and a 10" rim?
You are for sure right on your research about those KM2's. Based on all my research, I really do think they are the best tire out there for all around every day use. I just wish they made them in a 13.5" wide. 35's in 12.5" look good, but add a little height to them and they get a little narrow looking. I've found some 37"x13.5" (Toyo's, etc.) but DANG do those tires get heavy quick, some upwards of 90+ lbs! Yours are seriously only a few lbs heavier than my Baja ATZ.
We need to get the new BFG KO2 on this page. That thing is the white whale right now. Seen some pics, but no one's got them.
Are they available yet?
WHAT!?!! Oh yeah, another tire to consider...
I LOVE it when the marketing department goes and talks with the engineers and says "what sort of cool things did you build into the product that we should let people know about?" That's the sense I get with this video...
