Pizza cutter splendor....no rubbing anywhere, decent ride (at 30 psi) and quiet. They measure in at 32", though, not 33 1/3, which is my only complaint. I have had these tires in everything except snow/ice. I am very pleased with their performance.

they all look real good! So, may be a dumb question, but if I understand correctly, these are the same width as the stock Rubi tires, just about one inch taller (under load)? I am liking the fact that these should fit with no rubbing, etc. No need for wheel spacers, etc. (I have a 1-3/4" spacer lift all 4 corners) If anyone else has pics, keep them coming!
Also, does anyone know how the KM2's are in snow/ice, and also in the rain? The stock KM's are pretty horrible imo.

Tread Width
Somewhere I saw tread width listed on this tire at 7.1 inches. Is this correct? Seems narrow for a 255. MTR is listed at about 8 and my crappy SRAs are like 8.4 in 255s. Anybody know tread width on a stock Rubi tire?

I hope they are ok in the snow because I am sure I will be finding out sometime this winter.

Very nice
Is it just me, or does this pic give a slight hint as to what a JK based pickup would look like? I like it by the way!Anyone else running this size tire?

Got our first snow of the year, about 3 inches. Was excited to try out the new tires (KM2s) and they don't seem to do all that great on the roads. The roads where slushy and the tires were spinning starting out up a hill. Was very surprised. I'll have to be extra careful this winter.
