So basically here's where I'm at. I have out aside the cash to buy new tires for my Jeep, and I'm leaning towards the mtrs but I'm looking to see what u guys think.

Throw out a vote, and or your experience with both.

 

I've never run either, but I have to say I think the BFG's look a lot cooler and people say good things about them. JMO

 

No complaints with my MT/R's. Would buy again

 

How do they do In mudd/snow?

 

these are a tough decision that I am currently struggling with as well. I think you would be happy with either one they both recieve good reviews. I went to JPmagazine for more info

KM2 http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...2/viewall.html

MTR http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...r/viewall.html

test results of 33 different tires (2012) http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...d/viewall.html

basically, KM2 and MTR were rated very similarly.
street and heavy rock use were rated equally and KM2's rated better on sand, MTR's rated better in mud and snow. I think I'm dead set on KM2's because the 35's measure to a 34.8" and supposedly weigh a little less and found for slightly cheaper. I think I'll be happier with them in the dry dusty rocks of the sierras in summertime. if I saw more mud and snow I'd choose MTR's. both tires look awesome though good luck on the tough decision

 

I'm in the same boat. Can't make up my mind

 

Get two sets

 

The km2 DO NOT measure even close to 35. That was my main turning point to them.
They measure some where between 33.8 and 34.2

If you look at the weight of the 33x12.5 km2 and the 35x12.5 km2 it's like 8 pounds. That tells me there not much bigger

There also have a thinner side wall which can be good and bad depending on where the wheel.

Km2 arw not directional which is a plus though if you plan on carrying a spare

 

try again, the 35x12.5r15 km2's are 34.8" tall. same goes for the mt/r.


I havent run the mt/r's, but i'd consider them for my next tire, never heard anythign terrible about them.

I have run the km2s and love them. Worked absolutely awesome everywhere offroad, great on the street, excellent tread life. got 55k miles out of them and they are still kicking (though just about bald now).

 

I've had a set of both Km2s and MT/R's. If I had to choose 1 set again I'd go with the MT/R's just because they are 10 ply tires with Kevlar. I'd say they're equally as loud on the road. They both handled great off road not so much on snow or ice.

 

I added a poll.

I love my KM2s. Never had th MTRs.

 

I love my KM2's they are great all year round and great offroad. never had the MTR's but i wouldnt mind having those either since they seem to get good reviews from a lot people. either way i think you will be getting a great tire

 

imma buy kevlars. they do better in snow and such as far as i've read. but like stated before, extra plies and overall toughness factor....plus i think they just look cooler, i seen a set on a jk in the princess auto parking lot the other day, and they just look rad.

 

Tire rack survey shows a better performance on the BFG.
See results here.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey....jsp?type=ORMT

 

MT/R for me please
