I've run a few sets of the BFG ATs. Great in the snow and last a long time. I've ruined a few of them too. They cut pretty easy. Certainly not a tire I would choose for heavy wheelin.

 

Welll I can't make my mind up the price difference is that bad between the km2s and all terrain and I know the size at least lol 285 75 r16 which is about 33/ 11 right ? And with my 4.5 lift and 31s I have now I see I'm going to be doin a little cutting in the front but just a little by the bottom o front flare :/

 

Yea, no snow in the valley, but the mountains have snow, some of it pretty deep. Love snow wheeling!

 

Same here!

Suppose to get a bit by the weekend. Its still early for us, though.

 

The BFG A/T's are known for being good in snow, no experience with the KM2's but keep in mind that while an MT tread might give good traction on loose snow off road, a lot of MT's are usually not so great for hard packed snow or snowy roads due to a lack of siping. There are a few exceptions such the Duratracs (because they do have siped tread), I've heard great things about those for snow too.

 

You can sipe MTs.

 

x2 I have my KM2s centers siped and they handle the packed snow and ice just fine. Best of both worlds packed and deep snow.

 

Good point, that occurred to me but I don't know much about adding siping to tires. So it really makes a big difference? My BFG A/T's have additional siping that the previous owner had done. I haven't run them in snow yet but they do seem great in the rain.

 

Yes, wiping makes a decently big difference. However, its not something always necessary.

 

Hmm I've heard of siping but didn't know if it would hurt the tire or make it wear more or how to do it and all that good stuff lol not too educated on that lol

 

I will tell you this, in my MANY years with the US Air Force as a Vehicle Mechanic I have seen every type of weather and terrain, and our HMMWVs travel them all. We have been using Goodyears for quite some time now, used to run the old school US military Goodyear mudders and have since switched to Gen I MTRs which I also run on the wife's XJ for their durability and ability to handle everything out there. Thats my opinion and I am sticking with it.

 

I'll let you know after a few hours how the bfg will do in snow compaired to the dura. My rig has bfg and my friends has the duras and in a dew hours we going to go have some fun in the snow. Will post update after it's all done

 

I have run both the A/T's and KM2's. IMO, there is no comparison. The A/T's do well in light snow but if it starts to get deep they pack with snow and you might as well be running slicks because they don't clean out. The KM2s clean out very well and can dig down to solid ground in "shallow" snow or be aired down to float on deeper stuff.





I was running 10 psi in this pic. Snow was knee-waist deep is several places. KM2s FTW!

 

Again, both are BFG brand tires. So saying your running BFGs is like saying your taking your Jeep out for a ride. Not very descriptive.

But I'm assuming your talking about the BFG ATs, and not the KM2s.

 

My BFG A/T's didn't give me any problems driving to work in 5 inches of snow on top of ice.. (I was out before the plows). The only time I had a traction problem was accelerating from a stop, but putting it in 4 high quickly solved that issue completely.
