Ride Smoothness - 3. on par for an aggressive tire such as this one. they balance really well too. it looks and feels like a higher quality tire than the original MT KM.

Apperance - eleventybillion. guess i just like the way they look. probably the most aggressive looking tire on the ROAD without going overboard..cough..mud grappler..cough. when looking at their profile, they look beefy, but not overdone. when you look top down on the tread, WOW, just WOW.

Quietness (5 being noiseless) - 3. just average. not any more loud than the MT KM, not and less loud either. we 100% expected the level of road noise from this tire, which is not much. windows up and radio on at a normal listening level, you can't hear them. if you have exhaust, that will drown it out on its own.

Stability - 5. a solid tire. no uneveness or bounciness. they track straight.

Wet Traction - we'll have to wait til we get some rain, but i can tell you....i ran the BFG MT KM on my jeep and they did well in the rain. not street tire good, but not terrible. i have a feeling the extra grooving will help these tires even more. i have high hopes for them.

Price - one of the better priced tires in it's size and class on the market.
1 being lowest/worst and 5 being highest/best

Damn, everyone is getting these tires and they just came out. BFG is going to have to start releasing more tire sizes.

Wow, just the spacer? Looks bigger! (maybe just the pic... or could be me?) so what about rubbing? Do you rub at all? Full lock?
