I have several friends that went around 90k with them. Whether thats average for them I'm not sure. Seems good for a MT though.

Your lucky to get that out of the A/T, the KM2 MT will get about 40,000 miles of road driving before they are considered illegal/unsafe. That is balancing them, aligning them, hydrating them and going easy with them. The KM2 is made with a harder rubber compound than the previous series, if you can find the older ones they will last a little bit longer.

That would be 55k miles which would still be amazing. But not unrealistic if used correct and no offroadiing/donuts/hardaccel etc.

I'm from Canada. Its not BS, its KM.

The BFG AT does about 120k before they get low enough that you want to get rid of them.

I have 150k on my Goodyear GSAs

He rotates them every 3000-4000 miles...which isnt cheap if you break down the tires and do it right. They start to get choppy because of the heavy weight no the front end, but we have 3 sets last over 40K miles.


***Note***
this is teh first set of teh km2 series. before he always just had the regular M/T
