Many of the guys I wheel with run it. Great tire, fantastic on-road characteristics, and great off road. They're essentially the Blue Label Krawler's baby brother - basically the same tread pattern with more siping. Definately worth the money, and if they're anything like their other tires, they'll last you easily 40k - 50k miles.

The original KM's are being discontinued.. not the newer KM2's. I made sure i got a new set of KM's before they did so.

Take a look at BFG's website..

I like the new KM's $475 for a set of 255-70-16's, thats not bad at all. Jeep puts em on the JK Rubicons. My buddy just got a set of 32's on his F-150 and says there awesome, and they just look mean as crap

Cool

I have a set of 31x10.5x15 km2's on my jeep, love them so far (10,000k on them) but I have an annoying balance issue. Not a huge problem but still bugs me! Well they look cool anyway!

I am running 32 x 11.50 KM2's and love them. Have not had any issues yet. If you are worried about the price, look into the cooper stt's. had them on my old tacoma and loved them also.

KM2, loves em,,, I ran a pair of Super Swampers for a while which are probably the best tires off road. But since I do alot of highway driving i went for a more radial tire.

Works and handles great both on and off-road

km2's being expensive? what sizes are you guys running?

the 35's ran me $162 each. by far the cheapest brand name 35 available at the time.

so far i love them

didn't need to balance them

they run circles around around my old tsl's and boggers.
still undecided how they fare against the old iroks offroad

I e-mailed BFG not to long ago and some KM2 sizes are being discontinued. And being replaced with a KM3 early next year. Not sure what all sizes are included in that though..
