BFG KM2 vs. Goodyear Kevlar?

I am looking to buy some new tires (35'') Which one do you like better and why? Who has used either of these? Comments?

The GYs are probably too new to get any real feedback.

I am not going to vote for either--But my pick would be Yoyo's MT. I have run mine in alot of crazy things and not had a problem. not to mention they balance easier......

Get the Goodyears, then start a review thread for them. We already have a thread for the KM2s. I was surprised to see that the GYs are only $10 more ea than the KM2s on Tirerack.com.

I am going to get a set of 35's too. I'm going with the KM2 as they IMHO look WAY sicker...and everyone loves them. They are claimed to be awesome in all terrains.

A hint for all fellow yota'ers to get new tires cheap.

I found 35X12.5 R15 KM2's on E-bay for $176 per tire (tirerack was $187) then BUY THEM AT DISCOUNT TIRE. If you tell them where you found a price lower than theirs ($203) they will match the price. There are 2 big advantages here.

1. The tax on the tires will likley be cheaper than shipping those same tires.

2. Road hazard warranty. If you ever destroy one they will replace it for free. I asked the guy there if they would give me a hard time replacing it if there were say "A boulder in the road.." and he said "That sounds like a hazard to me, I have destroyed mine offroad and got new ones."

The warranty is only like $135 or so; for all 4 tires!!! Less than the cost of one...
