Been running km2s on my 4 dr 35 x 12.5 x 15 for 30k now. No balance issues , good on the highway, very good looking tire, I believe I'll get about 60k on them before their toast.
Complaints: uphill muddy hill climbs have been a bit difficult , but that could be because I don't have lockers. I will probably buy these tires again, good balancing tires = happy driver

I have 33" KM2s. Bought them used with 5k on them, I've put 12k on them, still wearing great. I've got some vibration at 55mph, but they're chunked a bit from wheeling so hard in the rocks. Not too noisy, they ride great at 28psi. I've never NEEDED to air down, so I haven't, since I don't have onboard air and I've had absolutely 0 traction problems. Wheeled in 12"of snow with my buddy who has 38.5" APC tires, and could go more places than him solely because I had more traction. Fantastic tires! When I move to 35's, I'm sticking with KM2s!

I ran 33" KM2s on my TJ, and I found that they wore quickly.
I'm on my second set of 35" MTR w/K on my JK, and no complaints. They wear well, balance every time. I have them rotated/balanced every 5k. I got 60,000 out of the last set.
