Yeah they kinda do.. Tall and skinny but gives some more clearance and reduces side wall rubbing.

imo you should get the original bfg muds in a 32x11.50. i think someone on here said they have more tread life then the km2's. plus i kinda like the look of them better.

Yeah we will see what comes up and how much discount gives me back on my tread life warranty.. I should get like 400 atleast back.. Since i paid like 150 a tire and they are running out and i have 15000 miles on em and i have a warranty of up too 55000 miles on them.

no, you will still lose mpg, it's the diameter of the tire that counts...and weight and a bunch of other factors, but mainly diameter.

If your worried about gas, 32x11.5 BFG at's...can't go wrong, tried and true!
