    Yes but having said that, Mat has said he's had great mileage on Km2's. I think he said 80thou or something. I would expect that from the AT'S aswell. So maybe this would be the better option. Then you have the grip when you need it. The km2's are noisy like other mud tyres are like.

    Ive had my federal mud [285s] on for 6 month they are wearing even and not noisey.
    When I first put them on they were a bit squishy, but fine now.
    never had a problem on wet roads either, will I get them again,,,,,,,no
    it was a budget decision

    G'day Moonie, I'm running the Dick Cepek FC-IIs on mine. I find them a little quieter on the road than my Mickey Thompson 4rib ATZs. No issues with them on the wet road and handled what little mud I've put them through pretty well. They're just a relatively aggressive all terrain trye, so whether they will suit your terrain, I really can't answer.

    Tyres, tyres, tyres..................the biggest issue we 4WDers go though, as most people have different choices and experiences with every breed and type out there.
    I would not recommend any to anyone as I have found that it is just a case of suck it and see

    All you can do is tell of your experience with what ever the make is, which I have done and let the peron asking the question decide
