jhamelin819 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 any one have experience with either of these tires? so far im leaning towards the original km's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 From what I've heard the KM's are better off road, but loud on road. the KM2's are still really great, but much quieter tread design. I LOVE my KM2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have had both. The original KM's are getting hard to find as they are moving over to the 2's. I really didn't want to change my tires, but I had such good luck with them. I dove in and got the KM2's and was pleasantly surprised! They are quieter than the originals and tear it up off road. I have almost 40,000 miles on them now with no weird wear or issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Ran both, same size (33x10.50), both wore well and evenly. Only difference I can really point to is the KM's performed better in deep snow, KM2's were quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Km2's I absolutely hate and don't understand why BFg went soft with the km2's. Loved my km's however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlmagnum Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I had the KM2's and had no problems with them. Good traction on mud and rocks, and they clean very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 When did you have a set of KM2's? And on what rig? Derek, you're funny! He goes through so many vehicles he probably doesn't remember and only drove on them 1000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That's what I was getting at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That's what I was getting at! I've put at least 10,000 on my KM2's and love them, but I can't say anything about the KM's other than I have heard they are better off road than KM2's and louder on pavement.

APACHECHIEF13 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have the km2 and my buddy has the km and I thing his tire chip off more then mine. Both tires good but km stair steps on the tread more them the km2. Makes it for a bad ride on the street Sent from my Z795G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkrypt3d Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I love my KM2's so far... They are aggressive looking! cant wait to take them off road and see what they can really do. I don't understand why someone wouldn't like them? They are a little noisy on the street but it doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanrollins0217 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I work with tire all day and I have had bot I had kms on my Cherokee now I have km2s on my r50 and honestly other than the fact the km2s have a softer tire shell and carcass which Is why there quieter on the street but don't let the lack of sound fool you there atleast one and a half time better off road traction and even with out bead locks, at 10 psi there grip is outstanding. As stated the kms are being phased out cause after 10,000+ k miles they chop to the point where it's better to throw them away than ride on them (personally experienced) so they took Baja t/a tread tech and mixed it with km tech to come up with a super soft km2 tire which I think is well worth 200+ for a 33 inch tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
