I went with 35x12.5x18. The 37's were just to big for my taste. They're really big and fill up the whole wheel well. I know some of you will like them. Here's a pic of the 37 on the front.

Here's a closer look at the tread. They brought the sidewall lug's down a little farther for grabbing the side of rocks and such.:perfect10s:

Nice Rox!!! I'll be getting some of those in 35" too, soon.

I'm starting to think you have a tire fetish like DRTY.

So how are the new tires handling the wet roads of Oregon? I noticed your old bfgs were siped, are you going to sipe the new km2's as well?

I'll probably get them siped for driving in the snow or I'm sure they'll be really slick. I live East, and the ice can get pretty bad. The lugs on these are so different from the other ones, it's going to be a while to see how they perform daily.

Dude. Put down the pipe. Rox ditched that truck and those tires for her H1 some time ago.

The tires are great on the highway. Much, much better than the KM1s were, anyway.

yeh they ride great, i have them on my rig as you can tell above. Both on and off road are great. A bit on the high end as far as price goes. But i havent seen them on any other truck in town so thats pretty cool. My bro has nittos and he is thinking about getting a set because he likes mine so much.

They need to be siped for traveling and I think you'll really like them. You need to come back and we'll go to Fordyce. The trail is in the same area as the Rubicon. You would really like it.:giggling: :D

Actually, Adam, I still have the H2. I just can't seem to sell it, it's like an old pair of boots I know and love. I still have the KM2's in the shop on the rims.

All year, yes, and they are way better than the KM1s I ran on for years.

Do you get alot of road noise from those? they don't look like they would.

By the way they look really good! Nice Rig!:perfect10s:

They are 37s, and the road noise is very low for an MT. Nice road manners in all conditions. Will have them off road for the first real tests next week.
