Looking to get a set in 37x12.5R17 for my next set of tires instead of KM2's. Figure I'd try something different and should get at least 20,000 miles of out them (blue label/DOT approved krawlers) maybe even 25,000 as long as I stay up on the rotations. What do you guys think, yes, no, maybe

 

i don't see why not there basically the sames the km2 just a lil more aggressive.
12.5 seems kinda thin for a 37 tho
But honestly if i was in your shoes I'd add some lift and throw on the 38x14.5r17 km2's!

just my 2 cents

 

No completely different tread compound. They'll wear a lot faster. Probably be a good bit louder as well...

The Krawlers are a lot more expensive than the KM2 and you're not going to be using the tires like they were ment for, plus they're going to wear a lot quicker. It's wasted money, IMHO. Why pay for a more expensive tire, that wears quicker, drives worse on the street, and looks pretty much like the KM2?

 

x2 you're getting exactly what you want from the KM2s, i dont see any reason to change.

 

x3

Unless you turn it into a complete trail rig, i'd say no to the krawlers. I still say go bigger and wider though, no matter what tire it is it'll make your truck look even better.

 

I agree. Stick with the MT KM2's.

 

i believe in the dealer books, they say that if you go over 70 with them, they can blow out rather quickly.

 

I agree as well... Tho they are bad ***. How are your 35s wearing? miles?

 

According to BFG their speed rated at 75 MPH.

My 35's are wearing great, 18/32" of tread left after a year and 8000 miles and when new they had 20/32" of tread. I think 40,000 miles should be no problem

Thanks for the help guys, think I'll be sticking with the KM2's but think I'm gonna drop down to 17's

 

Definitely stick with the KM2's! The black wheels are a nice touch though so make sure to get some in 17's

 

Yea. That's it. That'll just make all the difference in the world :-) ......so the rest of the world will tell you.

Peace,

Never said it makes all the difference but rotations do none the less make a considerable difference (not sure whos been blowing smoke up your a** and telling you they don't) and along with proper infaltion and alignment, 20,000 on DOT approved krawlers would be possible, just not probable
