I've been reading most of the threads I can find, I can get what i think are good prices on each but the best price would be the Toyo MT's. I have a price for 5 35" KM2's delivered for $1708.60. As for the Toyo's I can drive about a 125 miles and pick them up from a ware house and save shipping but pay sales tax. I have a price for the 5 Toyo's of $1454.82. I haven't had either brand before. My last 35's were MT MTZ's which were great tires, wore well and balanced well with not a lot of weights. The toyo video I looked at claims the toyo balance out very well also due to how their made. Not sure about how well the KM2's balance.

I had a nightmare one time with Traxus tires. Junk in my opinion. Lots of runout, hard to balance and eventually broke a cord while on the highway with just 18K on them. Junked them and went with Pro Comp Extreme MT's and they were great tires with no issues. I can't get as good of price with the Micky Thompson's or the Pro Comps as I can the Toyo and the KM2's in my area. Wondering if the KM2's are worth the $200 difference or i should just go ahead with the Toyo's. Looking for a long wearing easy balancing tire.

I ran km2s and I love bfg in general I think they are a great company and they will go above and beyond for there customers. 1prob with them is if you buy a 35 its going to be closer to a 33 my buddy has 35-12.5-17 and it is exactly 33.6. Also the km2s don't do well in the snow I don't know if that will be a issue for you or not. I almost went the Toyo mt mount as well but I went with bfg at's and love them they last forever and are lightish. I can go anywhere my friends go with there mt's unless we are going boggin. And IMO jeeps went meant to go boggin. If you live in a swamp and need mud tires I would say go for the toyos i would take a look at some a/ts wile your looking around.

Besides being heavier, the Toyo is a superior tire IMO. And I have seen them balance with little to no weight. Amazingly round tires

either one is a great tire, so I don't think you can go wrong with them. The Toyos are a bit heavier and a bit tougher, thats as far as my knowledge goes ...

Toyos have better sidewall protection that's where the weight penalty comes from. Having said that, I really like my KM2s and will probably put another set on next. If I was back tn the Colorado mountains then no I would be looking at a mud tire with siping for snow or the BFG ATs I used when I lived there

dont get KM2's your paying a 35" price for like a 33.5" tire... toyos are true to size.

km2's are a great tire but run very small and crap in snow and ice

Like what the others recommend, my vote goes for the Toyo MTs as well. When my 33" Boggers wear down that is the tire I will be choosing when I move up to 35s

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with the Toyo's. I can get them about $250.00 cheaper than the KM2's minus what ever gas it takes me to get them from up around the Chicago area. I'd say 250 miles round trip.

At 12 mpg that's $75 (CA pricing on gas) so still a good deal
