The thing with reviews on the net are there are so many different type of vehicles people are using them on.This is causeing the different reviews just cause a tire works good on a cherokee or lighter vehicle it my get totally different results on a 1 ton crew cab long bed or heavyer rig.

just jumping in here. 1st, bfg km2, on a cherokee or other light truck/suv, very good in snow, (i have a buddy who uses them on his blazer plowing rig) not the best in mud but definitely not a bad. 2nd, bfg ko, i have been running them for a while now. they are the ONLY at tire that is snow rated, (which means even on chain required roads, your already good to go with the ko's) as for mud, ive done some serious mudding in mine and have never had a problem. ive gone through ever type of mud from chunky barly wet mud to 4 foot deep puddles. both are great tires for any snow or mud and both really good for crawling. (km2 is made for crawling so it is better but both are good) just what i have seen in my experience. i would say that probly 70% of the people i wheel with are rockin the bfg ko at's,

No experience with that Kelly, but I ran other Kellys on my built 4Runner and they had very thin sidewalls. My KM2s do great in mud. I don't do mud bogging, but I have been through some deep mud holes while hunting, and have had no problems at all. I hated my old style MTRs, but have heard good things about the Kevlars, but they aren't a full mud tire either. I plan on running the KM2s until I find a better tire for the kind of wheeling that I do. Over-all, I have been very impressed with my KM2s.
