What 32's to get?

I know this tire stuff has been beat to death, but I need some help in deciding which tires to buy.
First, i had a set of wildcat exts before and loved them, but they wore out in under a year and like 20,000 miles
So now I'm trying to make up my mind on a set of 32x11.50's

I've tried craigslist for months with no luck, so I'm going to have to go new
I really like a tread pattern similar to the wildcats, but it seems that they only sell that old style pattern in lower grade tires that would wear fast

Right now I'm looking at either km2's or dunlop mud rovers
The km2's seem pricier but I'm guessing they would last a lot longer than the dunlops

What do you all think, any ideas?

Km2's look stupid. Looks like an aggressive car tire...it is. They should be a block shape like how MT's are.

I was going to get a set of Kumho Road Venture Mt's in 32's.

I agree with you about the looks of them id buy a set of new km1s if the made them, jus seems like all the big names have gone to some hybrid mt, but i really dont care about road noise or any of that just want some mud tires that will last awile

I kinda like the km2's looks, and 2nd the 33x10.5 size. They definitely work, will dig in dirt and mud well. I have about 20k miles on mine between being on both my Yotas, and still have at LEAST 50% tread.

The km2's are wider than my at's in the same size. Also wider than my buddy's 32x11.5 Super Swampers on his Samurai. I know they tend to run small, but point is look at actual dimensions, not stated.

I have two of these on my 2wd F-250. I used to get stuck all the time. Now I just get stuck every once in awhile! Decent price and good tread life (at least in the 10 ply). I will definitely buy again

Well I bought the dunlops

they are amazing in mud, but being 32's with 4.10s and a 22re had a hard time getting them to clean out after losing momentum

They are surprisingly smooth and quiet on the highway for now at least
I again really just don't like km2's especially at 200 a piece

i got the 32x11.5 dunlops as well. super quiet and smooth on the highway, which for me was a nice surprise since i drive 80 miles per day.

so far no mud yet but in deep snow they are great. in ice, they are around what youd expect that kind of tire to do, but totally doable.
