Default need help deciding on some 33" mud tires

i have 31x10.5 mud terrains now, and im looking to upgrade to some 33x10.5. i gotta say i've been very happy with the regular mud terrain. but i was leaning toward getting the km2's, but some recent reviews on the tires are leaving me kinda skeptical. when they first came out everyone was raving about how much better they were then all the other mud terrain tires, but now it seems like alot of people are bashing them. i gotta say, looking at the pictures of them, they dont look like they would work very good in the mud and they look almost like a rock crawling tire. i would appreciate any advice from people that have used these tires or seen them in action. im open minded about what tires i wanna use on this thing, but would like to stick to something similar to a m/t

ya, i guess im basically looking for a comparision between the km1's and the km2's. i just wanna make sure the km2's are "AS GOOD" as the km1's in the mud. i already have 31" km1's on the truck, i just wanna switch to a 33" tire and would like to go with the km2's as long as they perform just as good. i guess noone on this site has tried them so i'm gonna check another forum.

I have Procomp MT 33/12.50/15's on the rear and maxxis buckshots on the front (same size) and i have to say i like the Procomps better.....When these are worn out i think im goin to go with 34-10.50-15 Super swamper LTB's and see if those do any better......

Im running the KM2's on mine and if you want to see hoe they work check out you tube and type in bigomudders. They work great just watch how much mud they sling the imbankment I was trying to get up was alittle to steep and my driveshaft didnt hold up.

If you want to stay with radial construction, check out the SuperSwamper TSL radial.
I'm on my second set, I have no complaints.
