hello..
if you had a choice of off road tires...which would you
select.... 1. good year wrangler MT/R kevlar. OR....
2. b.f. goodrich mud terrian T/A KM2.
Thank you.

 

goodyear mt/r w/ kevlar

 

I really like the KM2, but i have not heard alot of good things about them.

 

What kind of offroading? For me theres only one option, super swamper boggers all the way around.

 

I have the km2s, but like the boggers for the muddy stuff, they seem to clean out the best. I want a set of each.... lol

 

Personally neither, but the KM2's get better reviews. Buy tires according to usage, not because they are trendy... Match terrain needs with your needs, not the status quo per say, as there is no one tire engineered to suit every terrain and preference.

 

Neither.

Nitto Trail Grapplers.

:wabbit2:

 

How do they do in that nasty Alabama red clay Wabbit? Never ran Nittos myself. I use to run the old boogers down to about 5 psi without bead locks in Grayrock after some rain for a few days and they worked good. Not to great on the rocks ..

 

Comparing the 2 of the OP, Nittos are much better tire.

:wabbit2:

 

^ 100% agree with the wabbit on that one.

 

Buddy of mine just replaced his Hankook Dynapro MTs with a set of Trail Grapplers and so far there is no comparison. Great all-around tire.

Only downside is they do not offer anything but a 33x12.50 for 15" rims.

 

alot of off roading: Mastercraft Courser M/Ts
some off roading and highway miles: Mastercraft Courser A/Ts
thats my 2 cents

 

I watched a guy in a Samurai that he just had built and had about $2000 into the shocks alone get stuck on a little muddy hill because his MT/Rs wouldn't clear, he parked it and cursed the tires. I have no real experience with the KM2's as it seems to be more of a trendy mall crawler on 22's tire.

 

Wabbit's right about the Nitto's, but they're expensive. If money wasn't an issue, I'd do it. Personally, I love my Wrangler Duratrac's for the price. Good highway, great off-road, and if I get the wild hair up my they do pretty darn good in the mud. As a bonus, their quieter on the highway than my old BFG A/T's, and they do better in the snow. But again, thats just me...

 

i just got a set of Goodyear duratrac's, and love them they are quieter then more off-roading tire i have heard, i will say no disapontments so far with them...

 

treadwrights.......
i have the duratracks on my pilot. they are one hell of a tire but when they get down in tread they scream on the highway. and they are F'ing pricey

 

For the first time running bfg on a vehicle, the km2's have been great for me. That said, I am doing much more on-road, than off-road driving.

 

+1 for Dynapro MTs

 

So would you recommend the trail grapplers? This is the first time I've heard good news about nittos and I've always thought they were just for looks with some of their "flame" tread pattern and what not... but If you guys really like the trail grapplers then I'll take your word for it and buy them

(33/12.5-15)

 

I'm with you. You can generally get them cheaper then either of the other two you mentioned and they wear like iron. Good tire but in my book it's still not aggressive enough.
