I just put an order for a set myself. The tire shop called BFG and they should start delivering them mid to late September. They started production in mid August. The tire shop says since they started making KM2's for jeep that has been priority number one causing this back order. I'm like you I want my BFG's so I'm trying to wait.

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...
I would refrain from buying a tire for my JK with a load index over 121 REGARDLESS of load rating (plys). With that said, if I was running a 35/17/17, instead of our 285/75 KM2, it would be a MTR.

I have the fierce attitude, really like them so far. They seem to be from a mold very similar to the Goodyear duratrac, but a bit more aggressive perhaps. Good highway manners, and very good offroad. Ill buy them again.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't waste your money on the Kuhmo's...they are crap. I've had mine on for just over a year now, maybe 15k-20k miles on them and they are down to their last leg. They are soft and I get great traction off road, but they look like a badger has been eating away at them with chunks and deep cuts. Their life is short, in fact my local tire shop just stopped carrying all of kuhmo's products because of all the poor reviews they had been getting

I'm running Nitto Trail Grapplers (35x12.5x17) for almost a year now, nearly 30,000 miles. I really like the tire, balanced them using dynabeads (8oz) with no issues. Although they are an "E" rated tire they flex really well when aired down. I keep them around 28psi and they ride well on road with low road noise.

I have the Fierce also and have been very happy with them. They were originally made by Goodyear and then passed on to Kelly and another partner with Goodyear, cant remember who right now. The price was good at the time, about $235 a tire for 35's. They have almost the same pattern as the Duratrac but with slightly larger gaps between the lugs, I think it is actually considered a MT instead of AT tire because of this. The only thing I would change about them is that stupid barbed wire pattern on the sidewall but most people never notice.

I'm running the Fierce Attitude 35x12.5x17 Very happy with them. They make less noise than the original KM 32". And the price is great. $220.0 per tire.

+1 for Nitto Trail Grapplers. I have them and they are very good.
