The OP asked about two specific tires. Why the hell is all the other garbage here?

Enough bickering. If all the BS doesn't stop, this is getting trashed and infractions will be issued.

BFG KM2 - they clean themselves out better than the MTZ's.

Just for the record all my questions as you'll find out point to me being a web wheeler lol. I'm joining the military and have needed a project for awhile now. I've always loved Cherokee's and found this little slice of heaven online to answer all my questions on which products to buy. So when it comes time I can put in a massive order and have a goal on what my jeep will be like in the end. Thanks for all your help guys! I love throwin money at things lol

and PS lol I started out RC rock crawling! It's cheaper and I can work on it in my living room lol

Wrong, he also said "your choice" and left a blank for you to put up another type of tire that might suit his needs. Don't mean to sound like an @ss but I didn't know how else to word that.

@ Legion1Capone, I like that Handle There, I been in Tire Dealer Industry almost 10 years now & the Km2 is THE BEST All around,"MUD" Tire there is on the market today, PERIOD! End of Conversation everytime! But, & there HAS to be a BUT somewhere, They ALL AROUND PART leaves the conversation there is & prob always will be the TSL, In all its LOUD AS F&** Splendor! If its not a everyday, touring type driver then by all Means Theyre great offroad! Yes I've used them, "Used Tires that prob wouldve been disposed of if they werent TSLs" even 1 step short of these things gonna kill me on the road still did just short of perfect offroad! No dealings with the pitbull tyres, heard good, heard bad, My fave is hands down the BFG AT/KO 100K outta every set ive owned, from F250 4door, 2 sets now! & my 78 bronco, & soon prob on the XJ! If I don't opt for the Km2s! GL! Let us know the feedback from your personal uses, Oh & the only reason I'm thinkin At's is cause I live in FL& we aint got all that agressive trails, unless we mud boggin, I dont need Mudders!

Your comparing an AT to a MT?

The BFGs clog badly. I had them on an old truck of mine, and have heard many others complain about them.

They may last awhile, but off road traction isn't all that great.

I have the mastercrafts a/t and I like them on road. Good in snow. Never had them off road though.

The OP failed to specify what the vehicles main purpose was, i.e. street, off-road, or a mix.

Considering he gave two MT tires to chose from, I think he is looking at off roading.

of the 2 tires listed id say go with the KM2 they are somewhat hard compound so not as great as others in the rocks but great road/All/Mudd terain... as far as other tires i would say the best out there is the Krawlers (stickies) even warn out they will climb anything. Also a good alternative to KM2 with comparable price is the Hankook Dynapro MT I was blown away at how well they do all around and may be the next tires i buy but they are not as good as the KM2's on the road (i have seen them go 50-60,000 on a 1 ton dodge pickup at 50 LBS of pressure rotate every 5K miles)
