Default bfg krawlers

I have looked around and dont no if i needa put this in the lift/tires thread. idk, if yall want me to move it let me no. it will be no problem. i just want to no some peoples idea on the bfg krawlers. I dont no anyone thats ran them and i just kinda want a nice overview on them besides what bfg tells you. like how long they last. i dont really mess with mud too much. more of the just riding trails and rocks and powerlines and creeks.

I was thinking about getting a set. Never run them, but have heard good things. For now I'm probably getting Goodyear Wrangler Authorities.

I see what type of wheeling you do, but do you road drive it at all?

If you daily drive it, or road drive it, why not go with a less aggressive BFG KM2?

I have the KM2 and love them.

i personally wouldnt run a krawler on the road. like jake said, the KM2 is a very nice tire both on and off road.

yeah. in your case, especially with the road driving, go with the KM2's if you are getting BFG's and want a MT offroad tire. The Krawlers will ware to fast and are more for trailered offroad vehicles.

KM2s are perfect for a streetable rig also the smallest krawler is a 35x17 i think they only get bigger from there. Also the public ones are over priced for what they are, the comp Krawlers are BA but have 0 tread life on pavement and at $500 a pop little $$
