Don't get me wrong, I was a little surprised at the noise yesterday on the way home, the KM2s growl much louder though.

i have had mine for about 3 weeks now, and i like them so far. I really didn't notice any noise going from the bridgestone dueler at (Sahara tires) to the KO's. Wish i would have seen your post sooner, i would have offered to take you for a ride in mine since we're both near Conroe.

I can notice a big difference in how smooth they are compared to the KM2s. The rig gets up to 70 mph faster and feels a bit more stable doing it. I should have went this route to begin with. I'm not crapping on the KM2s they are a serious tire for off road but not what I needed.

I have both in 35" size for my Jeep.
The KOs are great on road and most trails. They are solid, quiet enough and reasonably comfortable. Tread life has been really good.
The KM2s are great off-road, a bit noisy on-road. They are heavier and have a bit of a tread vibe at lower speeds. Haven't had them long enough to see how they wear.
