I have has a set of 31s on my firs XJ, a set of 35s on my yota, and a set of 35s on my newest XJ.
They are bad *** in the rocks and mud. As far as on the street they are good. They last longer than most max traction tires.

I got 33" km2's on my daily driver ZR2 and I'm getting good mileage out of them. They have gotten louder as they've wore down but they aren't loud at all compared to other mt's. They are street friendly for a mt.
I had 35" km2's on my trail rig xj for about a month, baught them new and sold them a month later for TSL's. They didn't hook up at all for me. I'm on the east coast so it's mainly muddy hills and slippery rocks here. They would clog up with mud and become street slicks. They are great on the dry rocks though. I'd reccomend them for a dd/weekend wheeler type deal.

Your running MTZ's right?
I could have picked up a brand new set of 35s (for a 15" wheel) for around 900.. but I decided to save a few bucks and pickup a used set of km2s on 17s..
If your an east coast wheeler how would you compare the KM2s to the MTZ's in the rocks? We mostly have just dry ol rocks, slick *** half muddy rocks, or rocks covered in this red clay..Only M/T ive really ever ran was the KM2, with the exception of a set of KMs on my 98xj.
When the time comes I may consider the MTZs if they hook up well.
