35x12.50-17 options since BFG MT's are still backordered
So - tired of waiting on a set of the BFG MT's to get back in stock
Looking for options/suggestions on tires in the 35" range. Been considering getting the General Grabber's but worried about the 'e' load range riding harsh, The Fierce Fierce Attitude MT's look to be a relative bargain but I haven't heard anything much about them. Then there is the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 that looks like it would be quiet for a MT on the road (another "E" rated tire though)
Just wanting some opinions before spending the cash...

You're referring to the KM2, correct? Hadn't heard that they were backordered, at least discount tire said they would have no problem getting them last week when I was in there.
You might add the Maxxis Bighorn to your list of tires to look at. They were about $100 less per tire than KM2 or MTR/K when I bought them. Turned out to be a very good tire, especially for the price savings.

Nittos are great tires lots people I wheel w/ have these and love em. Personally I run the Dick Cepek mud country's and these things kick a## in the rocks and mud. Plus they ride good on pavement.

Like I've said before, ask 20 individuals for their favorite.....get 20 different answers. We all have our favorites, sometimes from actual experience and sometimes from hearsay. I Personally love the MTZ's but then again, I've never run anything else so I have no comparison. Off road in the mud, rocks, sand and very pleasant road manners make it a happy combination for me. I am ready for a new set here shortly and went to Americas Tire and was quoted 300 per tire! I couldn't come even close to that anywhere else. That was for 35's on 17.

I probably should have qualified the question asking for suggestions - I'm looking for something that rides nice on the pavement and does well off-road on the rocks and dirt - not into Mud so mud performance is less of a concern. I probably do 4-5 weekends a year off road - the rest of the time is on pavement so pavement performance is high on the list (quiet) but don't want to go to a highway style A/T tire - possibly some of the real agressive AT's might work.

I just double-checked everyone elses websites before I posted just in case one of the mail-order places got them in. Their website said they're backordered (just in the 35's -rest of the sizes are available)

only reason I switched to the BFG AT is because of the amount of winter driving I do now but am considering running both because of the much better ride Falken provide over the BFG.
