| The KM2's are a great tire. they are quiet on the street for a mud terrain and I had a set on my JK until last week.
I would have bought a set in 37's if they were available.
sent you a PM as well. |

| I have 33" KM2s and really like them (they have about 10k miles and still look new). Let me know if you want to meet up to check them out. Maybe we could work some love triangle out where you take my 33s and I take Sacha's 35s!!
EDIT: Mine are 285/70/17 to be exact. |

| KM2's are a very popular tire and they've done well in reviews and comparisons from various sources. They do tend to run small for their size so keep that in mind. Some people will run their 37s and measure out to 36 once installed and loaded.
Another tire to consider are Goodyear MTR with Kevlar. They're also an awesome time with a layer of kevlar to help protect against punctures. You can't go wrong with either tire. |
