That doesn't mean they are weak, that just means you are way more hardcore of a wheeler!

I didn't say they were indestructible, but they are leaps and bounds over the typical 35" radial mud terrain most people run on here. Ive slashed creepy crawler sidewalls, I don't consider them weak, **** happens when offroad, its a pretty unpredictable environment.

The worst mud tires I have ever owned and the ****tiest drag radials I have ever used were both BFGs.

Never balled out on a set "red labels" but my opinion of BFG is overpriced crap.

That looks like a bald set of KM2's on a 1 ton truck. Not too uncommon of a thing to happen on a real heavy vehicle, especially with very low tread tires. I've seen a half tread set of toyo MT's do the same on a Powerstroke. **** happens. Doesnt mean the entire tire brand is trash just because you had one bad experience with them.

And you cant judge Red labels if you've never ran them.. The krawler and KM2 might look a little similar but they are two entirely different beasts. Thats like comparing those drag radials you didnt like to the All Terrain TA/KO.

It looks bald because it blew a bubble on a highway in the Sonoran Desert and wore all the tread off. There's nowhere to pull over for at least 35 miles. If you look at the top middle of the picture, you can see half of the tread was blown out. It was like driving on a cinder block.

Besides that, the tires were crap in mud.

The BFG drag radials would finally hook around 90mph. Another garbage BFG product.

I'd rather put a couple thousand dollars in ones by my toilet and wipe my *** with them. Probably last longer.

If you wanted to go swamp bogging you should have bought some swampers. Any review you read online on KM2's will tell you they're not the best in mud.

And did you even call BFG and tell them what happened?

Its definitely on a HD Dodge Ram. Based on the wear of the sidewalls, looks like those tires were pretty old. I had KM1's on my Ram 1500, rotated them often and drove them til they were bald. They had alright traction, but in a fullsize pickup I wasn't really pushing their limits.

They were on my Power Wagon. ****tiest tires I have ever had on it. I went with some Falken All Terrain tires afterwards that are considerably better in the mud, not to mention every other category. So were the Cooper STT.

BFG is crap.
