Default What tires 2 get

So i have been waiting for what seems like years for the bfg mud terrain KM2's to come back out but after call and call to the company itself i cannot get an actual date as to when they will be back.

The largest tire i can run is a 33x12.5 on my 15 inch rim. I have been looking at reviews online and the tires i have been looking most at are the BFG KM2's and the Goodyear MTR's. I need a excellent tire for off roading and still be able to use it in the winter. Something that is quite aggresive yet usable for a DD. Need a lil help hear

Thanks,
Zach

Everyone has their own favorite tire. I would recommend Cooper STTs for DDing and wheeling. I have a set on my jeep and they work offroad and they work great in snowy, icy conditions on the highway.

the duratracs are super winter tires and studable when winter comes around. I have BFG mt's and love them, but they howl on the road. The duratracs are cheeper too and have a cool sidewall, not as good in the mud though

The letter are white on one side and black on the other. When you get them mounted they will ask you which side you want out
