Yeah mate, tried them up at Straddy and on the Murray and surprisingly really good for a mud terrain. Not much noise on road and all round great but just concerned for the longevity that's all.

I've done 8k ish on my km2s, and apart from the molding sticks they look brand new. Oh and the cuts in them from wheeling.

I paid $300 for my km2s less then 6 months ago. I do feel I got an amazing deal.
It's hard choosing tyres cause you want something good for everything and to last. As far as I know the Feds are pretty good on/off road, but wear out pretty quick. Bloke at work has them, I don't think they will see 40k.

Either that or I look at maxxis bighorns. My dad and bro have always either BFG or mickeys so it's had to move away from something I always trusted

Honestly bighorns are over rated. They were good while they were cheap, but they aren't that cheap any more. If you are looking for a cheap set have a look at Summit Mud Hogs. Couple guys at work have them, they seem to go well. Unfortunately they are still only a reasonably new brand so it's hard to judge life expectancy. Should still see 70-80k

Km2's for the win mate. 85k on mine and still going. Should see 100k easy . It works out cheaper in the long run if you spend a little more and then get twice as many k's.

I had a set on my D40, went anywhere and everywhere, I just ran 2 sets of wheels, 1 road, 1 off road

However, did a lot of rocky and clay climbs and they gripped very well. The spacing in between lugs allowed the mud to come out easily as well.

On road I am happy with the performance for long trips too...I'll take them out soon around my area and get back to you.

yo AB thinking of getting these for my Patrol, what were your findings, on and off road

On and offroad are brilliant John but to be honest I'm disappointed in the wear.

I've only done about 20k and there is about 30% tread left. No idea if I just got a bad batch or not. I do know that I don't drive my car hard on the road either.

I was also thinking it could be the front lokka as I noticed a bit more wear on the front but I always go back to h2 on the fly whilst offroad too so no idea mate.

I looked at the Huntsman trailer site on Ebay,
but the description on their tyres is that they are "remoulded" AKA Mongrels
