Nitto Terra Grapplers. I did the white wall myself with a Sharpie

 

33x12.50xR15 Super Swamper TSL's

Just my .02, but I've had pretty much every tire out there other than toyo ( i dont know why ) and I'll vote KM2s 100% of the time.

 

It really depends on what you want and can afford. I see you have General Grabber AT2s as an option. A very affordable and aggressive tire.

If you have a little extra cash to burn and want super aggressive, Id vote for the BFG KM2s

 

I shouldn't have put KM2s as an option, because i really don't want them, everyone has them, and i want to be different.

 

Theres a reason everyone has them. lol They are #1 rated in their category. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=ORMT

 

My vote goes to BFG M/T KM2's. I did a LOT of research before purchasing my set and I was looking at a lot of the same ones you are. For a M/T tire, they wear the best and last the longest as long as you rotate them regularly (every other oil change). As long as you have proper alignment and rotate regularly they will wear almost like a normal radial tire. I also looked at the Khumo KL71. But compared to the KM2 it's garbage. All of the other ones listed, wear faster and more un-even. They also have a tendency to cup and can be very loud on the road due to that fact.

You will not regret getting KM2's!

 

yes i know they are a good tire, but basically they are going to be absolute last on my shopping list.

I'm sure i won't regret them. But i really don't want them. I might consider the regular KMs like i had on my dodge also considered the buckshot mudder i had on my '03, but that was only for a split second that i considered it. lol.


My thinking is firm, so please.. no more trying to push the KM2 on me. I know, I get it, I understand. Just asking for photos and opinions on the other tires.

As for the KL71s yeah, they do wear pretty quick, and are kind of a **** tire, but just thought i'd throw that one up there.

 

Do NOT get the buckshots OR the Mud King's if you value your life. They have absolutely no siping which in turn is dangerous in half a millimeter of water. I mean you cannot stop with these things. They also wear horribly

 

LOL oh i know, i had 35in buckshots on my '03... needless to say they were not the best tire in the world.. lol...


hope know one takes my last post as being a dick, not what it was meant to be

 

I wasn't trying to push them on you, I was just making sure you had some of the facts. And definately check out tirerack.com before any purchasing. They have the best info on there as far as reviews.

If you are looking for the all around most aggressive tire with the best wear and performance, you don't need to look very long because the choice is obvious. But you said yourself, you wanted to be different, so basically anything else you pick will make you different. Another suggestion would be Goodyear Wrangler M/T's Silent Armor with kevlar, I believe Clinton has a set and he was satisfied with them. I'm sure he'll chime in sooner or later.

 

Have you considered the Firestone destination MT's? They are rated pretty high as well and they look nice.

 

You beat me too it, I was just getting ready to add that to my suggestions lol. Another good tire.

 

Well, my Dakota has the sister of the STT, the Definity Dakota M/T. I'm putting them on my truck hopefully this weekend. Cheap, wear great, and are definitely a good tire off road. I think you should consider them. Otherwise, go with the STTs

 

ah yeah, sorry didn't mean if it came across as being an ass. I have thought about the Wrangler M/T, and i forgot about them.. also the Pro-Comp M/Ts, a friend of mine had a set of 35s on his crew cab Silverado, and from what i seen they were really good tires. What do you think about them?

I had the Dakota M/Ts on my '92 cherokee, they really were not that bad, just i don't know if they come in 33s

 

My buddy had a set of the Pro-comp MT's on his 1/2 tone chevy and hated them in anything but sand and dry pavement. The thing was downright dangerous in rain and snow.

 

Hmmm, well I suppose I will cross them of the list perhaps....

 

I don't think they do come in 33s. I checked because I was gonna try and get em.

 

bah, Alright thanks Pete.
