Default KM/2? Rocker? Trail Grappler? or MTZ?

I CANT DECIDE!!! I am replacing my 33s with 35s and I cant make up my mind. I want a 35x12.50R15 mud terrain radial that is NOT a single direction tread pattern(like a Baja Claw or Bogger). I have narrowed it down to the BFGoodrich KM/2, Pitbull Rocker Radial, Nitto Trail grappler, and Mickey Thompson MTZ.

Suggestions?

BTW- they will be on 10''(possibly 8'') rims, with my current 4'' lift, plus long arms front/rear

Id say rockers. I just don't like how wide they are in bigger sizes. mtr kevlars are what I was going to buy but they were back ordered in a 40 for who knows how long.

Km2's have weak sidewalls and I have ripped 3 of them. I have the new kevlar mtr's which have a thicker sidewall then the km2's. km2's dont clean out very well. couple buddies have the radial rocker and hands down the BEST tire I have ever seen. rockers have my vote

I'd say rockers. If I could afford them those are what id get. Since I can't afford those the wrangler mtr kevlars are what id get instead.

Loved my MTZs and they were a good inch taller than my buddys KM2s, both 35x12.50s on 8" rims. Rockers are nice but if you do much street driving they won't last long and are loud.
