Default BFG KM2 M/T 35" or Toyo Open Country M/T 35" ????????? Opinions? Facts?

I am torn between two different tires. One of them being the BFG KM2 M/T at 35". I have heard great things but I love the way the Toyo Open Country look compared to the BFG's. They have a more aggressive tread pattern in my opinion and I believe they will pair well with my ProComp 7069's which are a flat black. Any ideas or opinions? As of right now I have a stock HardTop Wrangler Sport with mommy tires. Pics soon to come of my build.

I had come down to those same two when I did my jeep. I wound up going with the BFG's due to price and weight. Have been very happy with my choice. The KM2 M/T's have been great.

Same here I came down to the same two tires.... Though not 35's I have 33's I chose the KM2's bc I got a better price, overall Im pretty happy with them we just drove 3,000 miles to Georgia and to Florida the highway manners are OK, a bit bumpy need to air down to kind of soften the ride a bit to your liking, it rained a lot on the way there and back so I really got to have a good feel of the handling on wet roads at high speeds and it did much better than I expected, I also went trail riding on the Everglades for the first time and thats where the tires really did what they're meant to do and they handled great. They noise of the tread is tolerable def not the worse compared to the Nitto mud grapplers I have on my other truck.
Having said all that I really like the Toyo MT's they look bad ass so those would prob be what I get next or the Nitto Trails.

I have the Toyo M/T's and I have loved them. I didn't realize how heavy they are until I started reading on the forum. Tires are starting to wear down and I am looking around at different posts to see prices/weights of other's to see what to purchase next.

I have to say I have loved my Toyos and would not hesistate to purchase again. I guess I can't miss what I haven't had...
