I agree..they are really noisy tires. I to will be getting something else next time. But the do have great traction, but are pretty heavy and you do loose a bit of power.

I was recently out with a guy who had an FJ Cruiser with thoe tires and that was his complaint. To make it worse the performance wasn't there off road. His tires chirped and slipped when my KM2's, going over the same obstacle, did not. He did say he got a lot of highway milage out of them though.

I'm currently debating between the BF Goodrich KM2 and the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R. Any pros/cons for one over the other? Good experiences versus bad experiences? I already have one vote for the KM2...

For rocks, its kind of a toss up.
And well, if you are for keeping money in the country, buy the goodyears. Money spent on BFG's leaves the country (french owned).

Why are you debating? There is NO comparison between the tires other than that they are both round and black. I pay a lot of attention to what others run when I'm out and the MTR's leave me unimpressed to say the least. I can see and hear the MTR's loosing traction and slipping when the KM2 went up without a sound or a slip.
Let me be as blunt as possible. If I needed tires today and the choice was a set of FREE MTR's and paying for the KM2's I'd PAY for the KM2's. Although in reality I'd try to get ahold of the MTR's and sell them to somesody that didn't know better. So a search, read the threads; it will become obvious real quickly.
My onlycomplaint with the KM2 is that I bought 35's and not 37's!

I just installed the KM2's so I have not wheeledwith them yet but on the street they are pretty quiet and seem to handle well. I have 35"s and they are barely any louder than the stock Rubi tires.
