a lot depends on if this is a daily driver or not.

The KM2s bite well, and wear well, and arent too loud.

There are however, better, stronger options if you only drive in the mud, and stay off of the highway.

I agree with AlmightyCrash. I have KM2 35's and they perform very well here in GA but there are more aggressive tires available depending on your style. Since mine is my DD I went with the KM2's

i've had experience with KM1, KM2, and Goodyear MT/R.

i chose MT/R's b/c they are quieter (new and 20-25k miles old).

in my opinion, they grip/bite the same, self cleaning with high voids just like the BFG's, look better, and last longer. Not that mileage really should be a selling point for you, as a mud terrain wont give you much beyond 30k miles any how.

I am a big fan of BFG.

I had CJ5 with TSL Radials and loved them, they clean out easier than the BFGs but don't last as long.

I have the KM2's and Oklahoma if full of that nice red clay also.
these tire have been great for me. They bite the clay fine and clay comes out of the treads quickly which is nice when going from mud hole to mud hole plus they do great on the pavment and are quite, But then again i also have no experince with other M/T's. I'll try to post you some picture the clay holes we went though this moring.
