Tried to buy some today for my JKU coming in two weeks and my local tire store and the local goodyear store both said they are out in all warehouses in the country. Nice.....

Been that way for months now. It ried to buy some back on October 1st, same story. Glad they were though, the KM2s I ahve instead are much better off road and are suprisingly quiet. Very happy for the back order, thank you border patrol!!

I was between KM2, Trail Grapplers and Duratracs. Since my JKU will have 3.73 gears and a manual and I really don't want to do a gear swap the lighter Duratrac played a big role in my decision. I like the way all of them look, but I never hear anything bad about the Duratracs. I know everyone swears by what they have, but I have heard that Nittos wear quicker and they are louder. But I do like the look of the mud grips.
If I was getting a Rubicon with 4.10s I would not worry about the extra weight as everyone says the new engine and 4.10s is great with 35"
Being this will be an on road vehicle, almost entirely, road noise is important.
Knowing my luck when I get it lifted and the wheels and tires on I will not be happy with the power and will regear then wish I had a mud grip looking tire.
fyi
