They are a great tyre both on and off the road.
They behave a hell of a lot better on road than my old Maxxis All Terrains.

Have a look into pro comp extreme at's. I have had mine on for over 5 yrs now and have gotten over 130k out of them and they are still going strong. Don't really have good side biters though. Got a price off a bloke from beaurepairs at $370 a corner which I thought was a bit high as I only paid $315 a corner but that was 5 yrs ago.
For that price of $300 per corner for the km2 305/70/16 what's left to challenge it. I went out with mates and this tyre impressed them in the mud dirt and sand. I've never been bogged in these tyres wearing brilliantly I see no competition for that price
Just had a look at the 15" tyres. Got told they don't do a km2 33x10.5.....Quote:

Yes they do make them...
I assume these are a parallel import and won't carry the factory warranty. Great price though. Have you had any trouble with them at all Macca? I have sent them an email today asking for a price and fitting and will enquire about the warranty.Quote:

Not to sure about the place macca got his km2s from, but i bought mine from cornell tyres. They are in sydney and do free shipping around aus. They import the km2s themselves (as well as other tyres), and then on sell them to the public as well as tyre shops.Quote:

I told one of the local tyre shops that i could get them from 300 and he was pissed, started saying they were a fake and not the same, i then called cornells and told them what old mate had said and cornells just said that old mate was just pissed cause he probably buys them for $300 for his tyre shop
Do you have their web address? Had a look and couldn't see them.Quote:

I used the prices from huntsman and don cornells to get jax pretty much on par. Jax were $25 dearer a tyre but this included fitting and balancing. Cornells was 375 delivered only. It might be an option for you to help with other shops and their prices.Quote:

They have been selling them for 5 years and never had a claim.....Quote:

I am 27000km into my tyres only problem I had was a tyre valve stem leaked got that sorted for free at my mecanic. I still have 12mm of tread or more on these tyres. The behave brilliantly in all conditions and rate them better than previous tyres I've used like bfg at and Micky t atz4rib
Car booked in at Hunters Products in Mordialoc on Monday morning for 5 new BFG KM2s in 305/70R16. $300 each. $1500 fitted and balanced, drive n drive out. Cant beat that!
That's a killer price

Most of these tyres you can directly inport from USA directly paying full import duties and still only end up paying about half of what Australia retailers demand

what lift you running with those tyresQuote:

Anyone used General Tyres before, if so what are they like
These tyre whatever I choose will be accompanied with a 2" lift, was told by 3 different tyre companies not to put 305 on a 16" GU rim
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated

I bought a set of KM2s with the intention swapping them between my road tryes as needed. I ended up leaving them on all the time as they have better road manners than the old series. I've done about 30,000 on them so far with no signs of ware. They also seem less noisey that the old ones. Very happy with them.

What was their logic for not fitting 305s to the nissan time? They are a 16x8 rim and the 305s go on just fine.Quote:

Mego, check these out mate, their web site now has them listed for $420 a tyre on my phone but they still have them listed at $300 too. They are a Parallel Import but they warranty. Note the Aussie Dollar has crashed! If you can still get on these at $300 a corner your on a winner.Quote:
