I really liked my KM2s. They had great traction and lasted nearly 55k miles. Not bad for a MT tire.

I had KM2 great tire quieter and I had couple slits in the sidewalks and they held up
I have Kevlar now and they have taken a beating the sidewalks I think are better then KM2

love them but will go back to KM2

I run 35 inch KM2s. They actually measure 33.25 when mounted. They wear great on the highway (I rotate every oil change, so 6,000miles). I really like them in the rocks, great traction when aired down. Not great in the rain or ice. Overall, I'm pleased with them.

I agree with jedg ^^^ They are a quiet tire for being a mud tire.

Don't think you can make a bad choice there with either. Personally have the Kevlars in 35" as my offroad set. Best pulling tire I've had for true off roading. Have not had a strap on my JKU with those tires. A bit uncivilized on road mostly due to he 35s being a bit much for the steering assembly. My 33 General Grabbers are my civilized on road wheel/tire pkg. Would not give up the Kevlars for off.

Neither. Get Nittos.
