Yes, BFG makes both the BFG All-Terrains and the BFG KM2's. I found it slightly funny how people were saying.. I recommend the "BFG's". Kinda like saying, "should I get the Cherokee or the Wrangler?" and having someone tell you to "get the Jeep".

I'd say get the KM2's if you do any Mud or Rocks and get the All-Terrains if you do a lot of road/sand. They are both pretty good tires in the snow.

 

yep, the ATs will be better in the snow and general road conditions, but the KM2s are better for true wheeling (except snow).

I have been impressed with the duratracs in the snow for sure, I wheeled with a buddy who was open and LSD, while im locked f/r. He was able to go all the same places and maybe even more in the deep snow than me, him on duratracs and me on new style MT/Rs, both same tire size

 

Yeah, oops. I was talking about the all terrains. I was pretty tired when I wrote that. My bad, sorry.

 

I own a set of Goodyear Duratracs on my Truck and its the best winter tire I have had. I live in Minnesota and we get our fair share of snow and ice. They work great on both.

 

I think in goin to go with the all terrains because I only do a little wheeling and I'm prett sure I will get more miles out of the all terrains than km2s even thow I love the km2s

 

I'm planning on going with duratracs myself. Heard lots of good things and found a set of 4 for 800 bonz plus free shipping. Merry Christmas to me

 

Yeah the Authority's are only in 31's on a 15'' rim. They have them for 16's 17's and i think a couple of 18's but maybe not. My friend has them on his stock TJ and they are pretty awesome they see a lot of street time and still have a ton of tread. The sidewalls seemed fine to me but idk

 

I was at Wallyworld yesterday and took a look at the authority. They look nice. Love the tread pattern. But closer inspection, the sidewall around top of lettering is really thin and flexy. I would be worried about puncture if doing any rocks or much wooded branch covered trails. For mostly road they might have a nice soft ride though. Still a good price for em imo. If I can find a good deal ill be goin with the kevlar mtrs tho. Them are beast.

 

I have BFG ATs on my Durango 4X4. Great in the snow, OK in mud (lugs dont self clean like true mud tires), Great in sand, great on pavement; wet or dry. Tread wear is amazing. Ive had the same set for 7 years, drive the snot out of my D, on and off road and I just now need to replace them. Make sure your spare is the same and rotate them religiously to get the longest life out of them.

 

Theyre very different tires for different jobs so itall depends on what you do with em. If u wheel rocks or mud get the km2's. If you just want all around tires get the AT KO's. If your mostly concerned with snow and ice go for the duratracs they would be the best snow/ice tire especially since they're studable.

 

I've run BFG A/Ts, my brother also has a pair on his 4runner and he got them siped - those are really sticky on rock and hardpack, and the best I've seen for snow...

...Until I just put new GY Duratracs on my XJ. I got em in 265/75/16 which is about 32x10 and they are ridiculous on snow & ice. I haven't had them in any mud or rock yet so I cannot attest to that, but the only thing I'd worry about is thick, clay mud cuz the lugs are kinda close in places. I do a ton of winter driving in deep snow and icy roads, and the Duratracs seem to stick like glue and churn through deep stuff better than any tire I've had before. They come in load range C which are cheaper and have less stability/protection (for lighter vehicles) and a Load range E which are stiffer and have more plys to resist abuse and sharp things. I went with the Load range E and they are surprisingly quiet and smooth for so stiff a sidewall. I haven't aired them down yet but I'd imagine they will be even better when I get to that. I now use 4wd half as much as I did with my Mickey Thompson MTX 32s. You can even stud Duratracs, but I didn't because I plan on running them year-round. The Duratracs unload snow way better than the BFG a/ts too. Check my profile photos for Duratrac pics!

The more edges on the tread blocks, the better the traction in snow, as long as there is adequate gaps in between. That's what I've found after living in ski-country for the last 12 years. I've always thought the Grabber AT2s looked like they'd be good in snow too, but have no experience with them. "Skinny is better" was something I was told a lot and I've found that is definitely not true as long as you're buying some decent tread. I was a big fan of the Firestone Winterforce as a snow-specific tire for use mostly on-road when I lived in Vermont. They wore kinda fast, but were under 100 apiece for 31s IIRC.

 

Typically MTs will do better in deep snow. At least they tend to here I have WI.

The side walls are why I didn't biy them.

 

I run the BFG KM2s in a 35/12.50 r15 and had the centers siped, they are great in snow, did a trail ride this weekend in 2.5-3 foot of snow, no problems.

 

Im jealous. We have no snow yet. :/

 

its snowing right now in denver second snow fall of the year here. but the mountains thats another story
