KM2 vs MTR
After this Weekend Ive decided I need to BL and get some 33 12.50
I want soft 8s. What are the Best 15" width and backspacing to have to run 33 12.50s
Also The other Question.
Kinda Stuck Between KM2s and Wrangler MT/Rs
Ive seen the KM2s in action and I really like them but I have also read that the MT/Rs are Great in Sand... Sand is most of the wheeling I do besides some Snow and Mud from time to time......
This Is what im saving to do next... Screw the new phone I want to go up finally. Might take me a few months do to money being tight but I would like to figure out what im gonna get so I can buy the cheaper stuff first then save for the Largest part (Tires)
Ive been looking at Online Tires and Tire Rack If anyone knows of other decent priced sites let me know please

if you can score old MT/R's i would go that route. i had some in 35 and 37 and they are epic. there amazing in snow and sand and have great tread ware, but the KM2 is a great tire too.
one thing you may want to factor in at this pioint is wieght. try and get specs on that, if your running 3.73's that may help on the slugishness. with 4.10's its not as much of a factor

The KM2 is 154 ea @ OnlineTires.com with 105 quote for shipping So about 721 Shipped... Does that sound like a good deal to everyone else....
Also I cant seem to find the Soft 8s 15x8 with 3.75 bs and -19 os
i found 4.00 bs and -13 os
and 4.75 and 6os
Our trucks are 5x4.5 pattern correct?

as for the discussion, I have only talked to guys with the big *** variety of MTR, like in the range of 40".. And we were at Katemcy where even a street tire would have more traction that you would know what to do with, but those guys seemed to like them.. Other than that I can only vouch for the KM2..
I do know the KM2 has a pretty weak sidewall, so if your planning on airing down a lot on the sand I would personally stay away.

whatttt they got cheaper? MT/Rs were a hell of a lot more expensive than pretty much everything out there when I was looking for tires.

Here is a thought, depending on your rim size, go with a metric tire, heavier ply rating and you get heavier side wall.
I am using a 6 ply+ tire (285x75x16) and I have to run 18psi in the rear and 20 in the frt to get them to ride OK on the street but I am ASSUMING they side wall will hold up good on the trail when aired down more.
I too, have never heard anything about the sidewalls n the KM2s just the MT & MTRs.
