KM2 owners look here. i have a question

okay this is what im looking for. I need to know how the wear on the km2's are before i buy them. I do alot of street driving but a fair ammount of offroad too. I have BFG A/T's and hate them. i like how they last forever but i just dont like them.

So if possible could you guys tell me how many miles you have on your KM2's and how much tread life is left. Also if you have pictures that would be great.

One more thing. ill be getting 35x12.5x15 and what tire pressure are you guys running and what do you reccomend for me.

thanks

I have 31x10.5 and i only have about 3 or 4,000 miles on them and they still look brandnew, i beleive they should last a good amount of time just be sure to rotate the spare in and you'll buy yourself some extra miles. There is a thread for people that have them and there isn't anything bad said about them.

Take this advice with a grain of salt but while researching replacement tires for my Jeep the general consensus seems to be that as far as longevity goes the KM2 is top notch. Easily 40k miles with regular rotation, more depending on driving habits and throwing the spare into the rotation.

As far as PSI, I've read of people running that specific of that size tire between 24 and 28 PSI.
