Default Tire opinions

As many know, the BFG KM2s have been on backorder for the last...way too long. These have been my desired mud-terrain tire for a while now but i will have to wait till summer to get them in.

SO

do i take the wait? or just get a different tire?

The only other tire i have been thinking of is the Pro Comp mud-terrains
other ideas??

[QUOTE=FlemingXJ;500545]Ya? im thinkin about. just want 33s SOOO BAADDDD. and its HARRDD not spending my tire money on stupid things ya know.

Boy, I hear you there. I was in the same predicament. I forced myself to wait for what I really want (KM2s). To drive the nail home, I went in and paid for them, so when they come in, they are all mine. Now I do not have that pesky $900 sitting in my wallet waiting to be spent on other things that cost $900

Do yourself a favor, and get what you want. We all know what it is like to compromise due to conditions, then be disappointed, or buy what you want later anyway, spending twice the dough.

Pesky $900 is right. there are so many cool things for 900 duckets.

I think i am going to wait. Too many times i have been forced to compromise... then disappointed. I hear so many good things about this tire. I want it!! Thanks man
