None of those. But if I had to chose one of the ones listed, it would be the KM2's. BFgoodrich makes excellent tires and has the reputation to back it up. The BFG's I have owned in the past on my Wranglers have been outstanding.

I really like the KM2's, but there are a lot of great choices out there right now.

I ran BFG's on my other Wranglers as stated (All-Terrains and Mud Terrains-great tires), but I have gone to the Toyo Open Country M/T. They are a little more expensive, but I didn't mind...you get what you pay for I guess. They have great traction; they are sipped, so they work awesome in the rain; off road, they are outstanding; for an off road tire, they are one of the easiest tires to balance, and one of the quietest on the pavement; and the tire wear seems excellent. I have 12K miles on them now, and they still look brand new...although I do rotate them about every 4K miles (and haven't had to rebalance them yet!)

Sounds like a good deal I will take a look at the Toyo's also.

BFG ATs are my preferred tires. I have had them on all my vehicles and have never been disappointed

They last and are very durable

You can't beat BFGs for quality

The BFG's but so far these Xterrains are holding up well and have great traction in snow but they are sipped.
