km2?
My lift should be here in a few weeks and now i just have to finish saving and order some new tires. I really wish i could afford some toyo m/ts but that is out of my range. i have decided to go with the procomp extreme m/t or km2's. I will be getting 35x12.50's and mounting on my stock rubicon wheels. They are both about the same price just cant decide. I have seem numerous jeeps on here running the km2 but havent found much feedback. any opinions? other than save up for the toyos.

I love my km2's 
not loud at all on highway and great fun in the mud
if you mount any 12.5 tire on your stock wheels dont forget wheel spacers

35/12.50R17 BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM2's.
My Jeeps ride has softened up on the road and feels more controlled on the street even at the same PSI as stock 32's. It could be due to more sidewall or the fact that I have wider 8.5 inch rims now. I am not sure just yet. But that is not all it gets much better. In fact much much better.
My mileage has not changed from 32's and I am glad to say that I am still getting 16-17 mpg.
My Jeep also seems to shift better first gear is geared so LOW anymore and shifts smoother, the meats drive wonderfully with the manual transmission. Its as if Jeep designed the gearing for 35's and 4.10 axles. My sixth gear is still strong and keeps me going on the highway with ease. The RPMS are lower too, allowing me better gas mileage. I was at 2500 rpm's at 70 mph but now I am down to about 2300 and still rolling fine.
Oh and the HUM is so sweet its almost elegant. I actually turned my radio off to listen to them tonight on my way home from the base. They are louder then stock 32" Rubi muds but they are not annoying!
All I can say is wow! BFG did their homework on this tire. The sidewall is thicker to stop the problems the old ones had. And the tread design is like the Krawler, very cool looking. I am one happy customer.

I've got the 35x12.50x17 KM2's and am very happy with them. A tad noiser than the stock tire but more than acceptable for as agressive a tire as it is.
The Cooper STT (I have them on my work truck) is quieter but I've cut two of the sidewalls on rocks and it doesn't get anypalce near as rocky as the Jeep goes.
The KM2 is a well balanced tire. Heck the tires hop said they evenbalanced well!
