I would add that I have been running all my tires with balancing beads rather than static wheel weights for over 25 years and 500,000 odd miles, I can wear out a set of tires and they will run as smooth at the end of the tread life as they are new. When I purchased my XJ in Oct 19 it had about 15,000 miles on the KO2s and there was a slight tire thump at hiway speed. One of the first things I did was to remove the stick on tape weights and install balancing beads which immediately smoothed out the ride and after a couple hundred miles the tire thump was gone.
ill watch the video, its just when i look at the tread pattern, ibdont see a route for snow and mud to be thrown out as the tire spins, ill checkvthe vid.

i honestly am trying to find some offroad tires that are not too loud on the road but eh idk

I just ran across this outback review of the BFG TA KM3. Makes me think I may be interested in a set of KM3s when the time comes.
