Default Cant Decide!!!

Ok, so here is the deal. I cant decide if I want BFG KM2 Mud Terrains or General Tire Grabbers! This is really killing me. They both seem like realyy good tires does anyone have experience with either of these tires and if so can you tell me some pros/cons? How they perform?

generals are decent but have worn quicker than i would have liked. i'd go woth km2's. so many people like them it's rare to see a bad review. you won't be disappointed.

and also welcome to the forum. just giving you a heads up, there is a search button on the bar at the top of the page. chances are, this topic has been covered. its always a good idea to search

Km2 last longer, generals will wear really badly if your alignment isn't spot on. I work in a tire shop I see generals alot

I work in a tire shop also I sell more BFG's , Coopers, Nitto, an Goodyear, and Toyo than I do General, But they all wear fast/off if the alignment is bad and the people do not rotate or if their shocks are bad !

Personally, I like the look, tread life and traction of the KM2's better. They are what I'd planned on puting on my Cherokee once I got it but, the one I ended up buying came with a brand new set of Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac's and so far, they've done quite well on and off road. They do sing just a bit on the highway but, I can't really hear them unless my radio is off and my window is open.
