^^ dude, thats the EXACT reason why I have been holding off on the Toyo's. I have buddies that run em, and I give em **** all day long. For me to show up with some toyo's would be... well, embarassing ! But they do have a hard compound that would hold up a little longer. Not trying to wheel the truck too much any more. i got the Zuk for that.

I just haven't seen the KM2's in person yet. Thats whats really holding me back. I saw one truck on this site, and the tires looked small-ish for a 35" tire. Also, just not sure how long they'd last, although I know BFG says about 40k. I guess anything will be better then the 8k I just got !

 

Damn, just noticed that the KM2's don't come in 35x12.50R18 with an E-rated tire.

LAME

 

Edit: LAME info.

I had the same delima when choosing my new tires.

 

in my size, the KM2 is rated at 2910... kinda dissapointing. I prefer overkill on my tires, specially when towing. (35x12.50R18 )

 

I was just wondering why in ALL your tire posts you push the KM2's? Your sig says you are running the AT's. Do you have any personal real world experiences with these tires? Or are you just chiming in just to chime in?

Ok that came off like you being a real *****!

As everyone on here knows i follow tires and reviews of certian tires very closely. Then i add my personal expierences with tires. I have drove a Ram 1500 with KM2's (dads work truck) they work very nicely. Kinda loud but not as loud as my TSL's.

I have always pushed BFG products because they are simply the best! For example the talked about Procomp Extreme AT's I have had the chance to wheel with (37's on a F350) From my point of view they are a great tire for an AT, now yes they arent on my truck but what does that matter. I have recommend them several times and people with them have been happy, Im just hoping MT has a bad set.

Im not just typing to watch letters appear on the screen... theres alittle research and personal expierence behind any tire i recommend or not recommend

oh and FYI the signature is old the truck has been lifted and now im running 36" Super Swamper TSL's

 

Don't know if you'd be interested but, I've had real good luck with Maxxis Buckshots. Averaged 40K+ miles on 7 sets, so far. IMO, excellent on and off road performance at a reasonable price. Good for the daily driven truck.

Just FYI.

 

great recommendation! i had a set on my ranger and got 45 out of they! Great tire for the money!

 

I do appreicate the input Jward. Its nice knowing you actually owned them too. And yes, I have heard good things bout those tires. Just gotta figure everything out and see which direction im going.

 

8k is wowwwwwwwwwwww

Obviously you know about the KM2...Good looking tire. We've sold a few sets. In person they do not disapoint.

Most underrated? Maybe the kumho kl71 very very underrated and unique.
Deep *** grooves.

**** I just looked at the Rack price and it's as much as the BFG....

I've been selling em for around 260....Time to go up on prices.

Sorry about the bad luck - Exaclty why I never buy procomp.
I have however seen good results w/ discovery stt.

Post pics when you get em.

BOGGERS..haha just had to say it. sad to hear those tires only lasted 8K. I love how they look but you do wheel them pretty hard from what ive seen.

y no interco tires? just cause they tend to wear quick?
Josiah seemed to have good luck with the nitto mg considering they were pretty much bald when he went to Frank Raines.

Anyways...let us know what you decide to go with

 

Damn when i saw your truck a month ago, i coulda sworn your tires were brand friggin new, they looked great. Sucks man.

 

Had a friend with the KM2's and he said he loved them, but wasn't an "off-roader". I am running the 35x12.5 18 Toyo MT's on my truck and I love them. Can't say enough good things about them. I have vids and pics to prove that they do work GREAT in the mud and muck (I'll say they're not that great in sand). If everyone has them, shouldn't that mean that they are great tires? I can't vouge for miles though since I've only put 8K miles on there since Jan (though they don't show ANY wear yet).

 

Gotta love ProCrap.

 

I have a question for you..... i have a 2000 f150 reg cab no lift just tortion bars adjusted to level out the truck and i want to buy wheels for it but im not sure if i should get 16x8's or 16'10 i would rather have the 10's but im not sure what offset i need i dont want them to stick out to far just about an inch or so....i figured you would be able to help me out....thanks
