As the title says,
I am about to purchase some new tyres, out of either the KM2's or the MTZ's
Which one?
Feedback good or bad?
Thanks

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

I have MTZ's at the moment, and was thinking of trying something new....
Mic
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 ..... :confused:
KM2s are noisy as well, all mud tyres will be.
Trying to use Motorculture
I drive a GQ the tyre noise is welcome ;)

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.
Just bought the KM2's Happy..cant tell you much about them yet ..havent used them yet ..but it certainally pays to shop around...I found a difference of $60.00 per tyre between different places.
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.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
I've got newish KM2s (~2000km) and thryt are great. Not too noisy, awesome grip. Haven't had MTZ so can't provide a comparison sorry.
I've gone the KM2's, even though I have had a great run out of the MTZ's ( and good mileage too ) .....
We will see if I have made the right choice, but I managed to save over $60 per tyre, and I can sell my brand new MTZ spare, that I haven't used.
Mic
You won't regret it. I haven't heard of anyone trading in their KM2's because they were unhappy with them for their intended purpose.
A little bit to early to tell, but they have been great so far, with around 7000 klms on them, running all sorts of different pressures during a double Simpson Desert crossing.
Minimal Tread wear and damage from all the Gibber Stones / Rocks too.
Mic
I have the same dilemma as you , my MTZs are on their last legs and even though I've had a great run from them
I'm not 100% I'd use them again, Heard only good stories about the KM2s so looks like I'll be doing the same as you
The thing I am most impressed with, is the fact that I was running non ideal tyre pressures on the bitumen and hard surfaces at speed ( We were in a convoy of three vehicles, and if I was on my own, would have stopped to re-check and adjust pressures ), and there are no signs of the trailing edges of the tread blocks feathering.Quote:

I second that. Had 5k rotation mondy, still look new. Gr8 self cleaning, total confidence driving on wet hi-way too.Quote:

I have 75k on mine still going strong. Will try to remember a photo.
So the 1st pic is a brand new km2 @ 14mm tread depth.
The 2nd pic is one on my ute which has around 75k on it @ 9mm tread depth
Nissannewby,
Time to sell them off for some new ones, whilst someone will pay a few dollars for them....
Mic
Was that like a hint hint, wink wink , nudge nudge lol
Sadly no, mine are still brand new, and I am at the other end of the country....... but someone would want them, as they still have a bit of life in them
