Default KM2 vs MTR

So there seems to be love for each (mainly depending on which they own). What would yall recomend for a good trail/mud/water/street tire? I am moving to 35's

IMO..I can not comment on the KM2's but I do like my MTR's they are quite on the street and do great in mud and rocks. One tuff azz tire. And I like the looks of the MTR's over the km2. And the MTR's measure out to be 34.75.

They both are good tires, and you can't go wrong with either.

I think they are both great tires. Just depends on which one you can get cheaper. If those 2 are what you like, and you have narrowed it down to just those 2. Well shop and see if one is considerably less than the other. My 2 cents.

It just seems like by far these are the most popular mtrs on here so they must be good tires... I am not a tire junkie but do know I want to go to an MTR from my nitto terras which like to do their own thing when i hit the mud

MTR's have been on national backorder everywhere for sometime now... I've been waiting to hear that they're in so I can finally move up to 35's too.... The waiting has been killing me.

I heard that and told my discount tire but the guy said he could get a set in store in 5 days

from wheeling the MTR's and seeing the KM2's in action. both are great tires. I know the MTR's are 8 weeks back ordered right now. our local discount tire said they can not keep them they are moving to fast. Goodyear is running behind on production of these from what they told me.

I have the KM2's and a buddy of mine has the MTR's. I don't think you can go wrong with either. The KM2's in 35 were a little smaller than the MTR's which was one of the reasons I liked them.
