    MTZ haven't tried anything else
    Bag well when aired down to 16-18 psi wear really well if rotated regularly good on road characteristics for a mud tyre
    Bloody good in the mud and rocks and sand

    The only complaint I have with the MTZ's is the tyre noise, of which they are much noisier than the Baja Claws I had before .....

    KM2s are noisy as well, all mud tyres will be.

    I have had both. Km2's hands down. They shit all over the mtz on road and on gravel and wear far better. I have 60k out of my km2's so far and the way they are going I will easily see 80-90k out of them.

    The MTZ are not a bad tyre the KM2's are just better.

    KM2's for mine.
    Quieter on road than the MTZ's, outstanding grip in all types of terrain and good handling on road.
    I can't speak for wear because I don't do enough km (mines not a daily driver) but a few folks have suggested MTZ's don't wear as well as the BFG's.
