No luck on KM2's - How are the Hankook RT03's

I tried to get a hold of some of the 33x10.5x15 bfg km2's and apparently they are on a nationwide backorder So I have been reffered to the 32x11.50R15 Hankook RT03 Dynapro M/T's. Any advice on these? They are for my 94 runner and I want something that will last long and perform well?

Do the MTRs come in 10.5 widths? I would have got them for my 12.5s but I didn't like the white lettering having to be out with their tread design. I went with BFGs instead but 12.5s weren't on backorder

You can mount them anyway you want. GY wants the bigger voids on the outside, thats the only reason they say to mount them a specific way.

If you care that much about the looks of some white letters then maybe you don't need the performance of such an aggressive tire.

EDIT, and no 10.5 widths. They have 285's though.

You're right scuba, I wasn't using my old BFG M/Ts to their potential and that's why I went with the A/Ts this time since most of its time is spent on the street these days along with a 33x10.5 for a spare in the stock location.

I love my Hankooks. They rock in the snow and mud. I am on my second set. Last set went 40,000 miles of hard use and still had over 25% left. Like any tire, ROTATE them!

I can't see why everyone I read about or talk to about the KM2 has trouble getting them. I bought 5 of them for my CJ5 and now have 5 setting around because my CJ is up for sale and I am going to put them on my 4Runner if I can figure out a rim that will work. (my 4Runner has 16inch rims.) I don't think you will be dissapointed with the Hankooks anyway a friend of mine runs them on his Taco and has had great luck with them. pics?

the km2 was on a back order for some time now. but not sure if they started printing them again. as far as the hankook goes, there great! and they ride smooth and quiet.

here are the hankooks (yes those are spear tires im rolling on )
