Kumho MT vs BFG KM2s

Anyone got good info on Kuhmos MT? I'd like to get them seeing as they would be 100 bucks less per tire but if they are junk I'll stick with my original idea of getting KM2s

I'd say the Kumho is a very good MT while the BFG MT KM is an excellent MT.

Is the price worth it though?

I can't find very much good info on either tire here.

Its a good tire. Brother has them in 38s on his 1500 and they have great wear and do pretty good in the mud. Channel out very well. I'd recommend them for sure.

Sorry should of included that lol. The Kumho. Honestly, either tire you go with will be great. I've got another friend with the bfg in a 35 and he has 20k on his and they look brand new. On the opposite end my brother has 20k on his kumhos and they look new as well. You won't be disappointed either way

Forgot to add, my dad had the km1 on his 250 in a 37 and they lasted 60k and you could still use them. Only thing I can say bad about them was when they got into higher miles, they began to ride like crap.

I know mine aren't an MT tire but I just put Kumho Road Venture APT on mine with the new wheels and so far I like them alot. They only have 1000 miles on them but they drive better than the Goodyear SRA's that came stock.

I would skip the Kuhmo and get the best tire of the two, the KM2.

I know the Kuhmos are 12.5" wide and will fit a 8.5" rim...but would that look weird? I may end up with a 8.5" wide rim
