    285/75/16 BFG KM2 VS MTZ's

    Gday guys..

    We going to get new rubber tomorrow.. I currently run MTZ's and have had no problem with them.. Only looking at the KM2s because I can get them for $330 each Vs the 370 for the MTZ's.. So My question is what do you all think of the 2 tires in question?? What have been your experiences?

    Cheers
    Lewy

    X2 mate.

    I have had MTZ's and Claws and while they are a good tyre the KM2's are just better. Mileage was the biggest let down with the MT's.

    I am running KM2's at present and have just rolled over 90,000km on them without a single issue. They were balanced when fitted and then again at 55,000km and handle brilliantly on the black stuff for a mud terrain. I will be getting them again . There are a couple of threads on this exact topic if you wanted to have a search for some more reading.

    My odo is fubar but rotating my MTZ regularly they still have 60-70% on em and they've been on for 5 years I think with more blacktop than mud. They have been abused in mud and on rocks and show sign of it but haven't suffered any proper damage.
    In saying that I will probably give the bfg a go next time for comparison

    Definitely for real they have started to get noisy but not as noisy as they are on wife's Prado. Which by the way have worn hers nearly out in less than 3 years
