Default Tires

Does anyone have any suggestions or feed back on the new Kevlar wrangler MTRs vs the BFG KM/2. I'm getting ready to buy another set of 33" and I'm wondering if anyone knows or has any incite on overall performance with both tires. Snow/mud/street ect.

That's what a lot of ppl including some of my friends are saying. I've got mixed reviews on both and I'm torn between the two. The wrangler MTRs look much meaner and more aggressive but I've heard that the KM2s last longer and are better for an DD

i have the km2s and i love them very smooth on road no worrying about sliding even on ice or snow. they are great off roading in deep mud or anything else. they got me through 4 ft of snow after chicago blizzard this year

How do you like the side wall tread on those km2s I live in Alaska so four ft of snow is legit amount of snow in just a few hours so snow and ice ratings are a huge plus but I'm told that the MTRs have a more aggressive side wall pattern what are your thoughts?

Go with your gut - they'll probably treat you roughly the same. If you feel the more aggressive sidewall will make the difference in your travels, go with it.

I have KM2's and like them.

Does anyone out there have any advice on these new pitbull rocker radials. A buddy of mine in the lower 48 says there amazing on his rig but he tends to get overly excited about new additions to his rig and talk everything up before breaking anything in. Any advice or knowledge on these tires?
