I've been going back and forth between these two tires for awhile now trying to decide on 35's. after reading everything I could about it on JPmagazine I'm choosing KM2's

km2 http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...2/viewall.html

MTR

there is an updated version but I cannot find it. you get the idea

i like the a/t strip the mtr has i read its to help on road when aired up as well as help clean mud off the tire/ doesnt let mud go across the whole tread

 

Hands down kevlars. This thread is hella old lol

But after many wheeling trips with people who have both tires stick to kevlars.

 

you see a lot more mud and slick rocks right?

 

Rocks mud sand clay snow ect.

 

I think I'll still try a set of the KM2's. they're supposed to be a little more light weight and have good road life. they're good on dry rocks so I'll find out for myself if I like them or not
other options were trepadors but apparently they're very heavy
baja claws got a good review but a low rating by JP and are bad in reverse
iroks would be amazing but are bad on the street

picking tires is hard lol. I've read good and bad about km2 and MTR but they're both very likeable and good tires. hard choice

 

Im buying MTRs later this week. It was a very hard decision between those and KM2s. Glad I'm not the only one who has a hard time picking tires lol

 

I've had my MTR's since May. I have a few friends that run the KM2's and after wheeling with them on the rocks here I'm glad I chose the MTR's. Snow is starting to fall in the mountains so we're planning a snow run in a few weeks, I really think they will do great in snow. I can air down a lot more than the guys with KM2's, I've gone as low as 8psi without an issue.

 

I've gone to 5psi with the KM2s in snow without problems, but that didn't include side hills much. Oh, that's with 35/12.5 r15s on steel 8 inch wide rims.

 

I was at 8psi on rocks, I guess I should have phrased that better. It wasn't that the km2 guys couldn't air down to 8psi, they didn't bother to try. I plan on starting out at around 12psi in the snow and slowly go down as needed. I have to say at 8psi on dry rock I was using the hell out of the sidewalls and it's not even noticeable. I'm on 32x11.5x15, at the time I had stock 3.55 gears, I'm at 4.56 gears now.

 

I'm still running the same set of 5 I purchased in Dec of 2009 (mentioned in post #7).
I have 50k miles on them and they are a whisker from being at half tread depth.
They still ride great, track true and they have yet to chunk.
I've kept an eye on tire pressure and 5 tire rotated religiously at 3k miles.
If they ever wear out I'll get another set... next time in 35-12.50.
