KM2 vs Duratracs
Need new tires since my 32's are going on my Jeep. I'm getting 265-75-16's cant decide between KM2's or Duratracs. I may go with the KM2's for $10 more per tire or the Duratracs since its a C load range.
Duratracs
Load Range C
Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac
KM2's
Load Range E
BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2
Any Advice would help.

i vote for the goodyears.
somethings to look at are how much off road driving you'll be doing and how much rain/snow you get there.
i dunno what kind of performance the km2s get in the wet weather (since i'm not interested in them) but the goodyears are getting a great grade for rain/snow.

I would vote for the KM2 but I would go for another size with a lower load rating.
Traction is good with the KM2s in rain and snow, though I'll spin both easily now in the rain (auto rear locker) as I'm wearing the tires down more. I have almost 30k miles on my tires, more than half tread left.

KM2 ride hardat Load Rating "E" but they lok good.
If you can get 15" Wheels then go with the KM2 at a lower rating but if you are sticking to 16" Wheels then look for another tire, unless looks is where it is at.
Yes I ride the KM2 on my 03 short box std cab and the short wheel base vs the load ranger E make for a hard ride.
I am in the process of trying to control some wheel bouce I have on bumps and cutting the spring rate in the front but the low pressure I am running in the front is wearing the tire prematurely and that $ucks too.
Luck with the choice...

i just bought the duratracs (265/75r16) 2 days ago, havnt taken them offroad yet but they are great tires so far. they look great on the truck and are quiet and seem to have good and predictable road traction for a tire of its type. the size also fits perfectly on my 03 4x4. its just the stock 7" rim with an 8" tire though. couldnt be happier, and i dont think you couldve made a better choice. =)
