Wow, your rig looks awsome. I just don't get why your running road tyres on a purpose built offroad trail rig.

KM2s are road tyres because they are radials, offroad tyres have bias construction.

Bias ply are pretty unrealistic to run anymore...I mean even companies like Super Swamper and Pit Bull that live and die by bias plys have now incorporated radials. Radials are just better overall, not nearly as finnicky as bias plys. I'm pretty sure that even if a rig spends 90% of its time off road, the preference would still be to run radials.

Look at Off Road Evo's rigs, most run 40s and 42s and are purpose built for off road, they are running the Goodyear MTRs with Kevlar (radial) and BFG KM2s (radials). Toyo Open Country M/Ts are another popular choice and are very serious off-road tires with an E rating and are radials.

Thats all I'm saying about that...Now - This rig is bad ass. But where are the pics of the tire carrier??? Keep the pics coming guys, looking awesome.
