KM2 vs MTR
#28
From a local forum I've seen about 6 or so KM2s have their sidewalls destroyed wheeling. None in person though. I think it depends on the terrain you're wheeling. I'm also stuck in the middle of which I like more. Kevlar MTR are more expensive than the KM2 everywhere I've looked.
I have also heard of a few KM2 instances with torn sidewalls, but there are also a TON of people using them. It's kind of like the old Explorer roll-over fiasco. You heard about it all the time because there are so many out there.
But if I were in AZ, where there are lots of rocks and less mud I would probably go with the Goodyear MTR over the KM2.

The Exploder tire blowout roll over thing actually had nothing to do with the tires it was from ford suggesting tire pressure really low and then when you lose a couple psi then you are really low. Low tires have more resistance thus more heat making the sideways wear out and blow out faster. And because no one checks their tire pressure they were all way to low....
But any who I think I might go with the KM2s then...

ya they may idk ive never used km2's but ive always had better luck with a/t's on the sand cause they dont dig nearly as much as a m/t, we get pretty soft sand down here towards the end of the year and every little bit helps, the old timers around here always swear by a/t's and these are the guys running old 2wds down the beach passing stuck 4wd's lol, we have alot of sand savy people down here cause thats usually the only offroading most people do down here.........

I know one big factor the affects how they do and how much you air down is the Load range... I know right now I have Bridgestone Dueler revo A/Ts tat are Load range E and I have to air down past 20 inorder to not plow through the sand... My old tires were just regular passenger tires and i could run on the beach no problem at 32

I have the MT/R's with Kevlar. I love them. There nice and quite on the road.You can hear a little wine at 40, but then it goes away. As for grip they grab anything. Deep snow, Dirt, Mud they do great in all, I havent tried them in sand though.
