I've got the BFG tires now. They have 30k on them and still look pretty good. I may get 20k more out of them. I don't know for sure but they're solid performing tires.
I can say without a doubt I have zero complaints.
I've never owned the Nitto but plan on trying them next. Everyone speaks very highly of them and they look pretty rugged. I don't think you can really go wrong either way.
I hope the Nitto's work out well for me. 'Cause they ain't cheap. That's for sure.

KM2 has a smaller contact patch then the Nitto thus less feedback in the steering wheel plus the KM2's speaking from experience are a softer less harsh ride then the Nittos.

Go with the Nittos, I am on my second set and my previous set is still being used becuase the guy that bought them off of me is still wheeling around town with my old tires so they wear very well. I am running mud grapplers but the trail grapplers have a similar build less the more aggresive tread and are much better for road use with occasional off road use.

Uh-oh. Now what?
The BF Goodrich tire brand is owned by Michelin, a French company.
So you took off you Nittos (an American brand owned by Japanese company Toyo) and replace with BFGs, an American brand owned by French company.
Both are actually manufactured in the USA. Notice I said in the USA, not America. Made in America can be claimed by anything made in the America's, including Central and South America (hence RR's claims of bumpers being Made in America, that are actually made in Central America).
