I'm running the 295/70R18 and I found at one point they weigh in at 72 lbs. I believe the KM2 were something like 68 lbs for the 35's. Anyway, you're talking about 25 - 50 lbs you're adding which isn't much considering your average passenger is going to be 150 lbs. These are wearing evenly and ride as quiet as stock IMHO. plus they look awesome..
I'd buy them again in a heart beat.

have you measured these to see what size they actually are. i know the webiste says something like 34.3 inches. just wondering how accurate this is. i have a 2011 jk and stock tires are 32 so imo kinda pointless going to 33's but dont want the jump to 35's as this one is the wifes and its a mall crawler but she wants it to look badass. lol.
295/70R18 = 34.57 x 11.73
35x12.5x18 = 35.04 x 13.79
so you get an extra half inch with the 35's, but when you divide that in half, you really only get 1/4" of added height, not worth it in my book..

I roughed measured when I bought them and they were close to 34.5.. which is what the website says.
295/70R18 = 34.57 x 11.73
35x12.5x18 = 35.04 x 13.79

I think they are a perfect combination of rim and tire. You obviously have impeccible taste...

Unfortunately, Nitto does not publish their tire weights. Even when I called, the person I spoke with only had a weight spec for one of their Trail Grappler tires (295/70/17). That weight is 71 lbs.
He guessed for the other two tire sizes I inquired about:
285/70/17: 68 lbs
315/70/17: 79 lbs
This shouldn't be a surprise, but these weights are very close to the similarly sized Toyo's.

Have had my Nitto Trail Grapplers 35 x 12.5 x 17 for a few months now. Nice and quiet on the road. Run them at 32 psi. Only one offroad trip so far and they performed great!
Hard to say how they affected my mileage. I got a 3" lift at the same time and mileage dropped off about 3 mpg around town. With JK sitting higher and bigger/heavier tires, I guess it's to be expected.
Great looking tire IMO...

I'm running 35 12.50 18's and I'm gettin around 16 mpg. Ive ran this before and I have to say I love these months better. I have about 10k on them with 2 rotations and they have slot of tread left. Like any mud tire you have to do maintenance to them. Keepers air pressure checked and rotated often and they should last a while.
