What tires to get????
so im in the market for some 32x11.50R15's but dunno what to get. right now im running Dick Cepek Mountain Cats or some **** and they are soft as all get out, and have barely lasted 20,000 miles.
that being said im looking for an all terrain tire thats good in sand, mud and rocks....
i went to Les Schwab and some guy tried to sell me these....
http://lesschwab.com/tires/light_tru...country_mt.asp
or these....
http://lesschwab.com/tires/light_tru...xisbighorn.asp
so for 5 of em (spare) its gonna run me around $1100, is there a better deal out there?

You type'd one thing and your signature says something different.
I run the km2's... never had them in mud or real snow, but in AZ they are an awesome road/rock/wet rock/decomposed granite/gravel/sand/slush tire.

on the rig right now are my Krawlers. Selling the km2 because they suck in the mud, snow, and even in the rocks and have a very weak sidewall. I have been through 2 of them with sidewall slashes. The KM were a better all around tire.

that's odd, my km2's have been better in the rocks than my super swampers were with regard to slicing/chunking... not to mention superior grip.
