Well I wore out my toyo 35x12.50x20's finally, Had them 4 yrs, and decided to go with KM2's, 37x12.50x20's this time. After reading about all the guys with 37's over the last 4 yrs and some having rubbing and some people not, I thought hey, the km2's come in 12.50 width in the 37 inch size, this is the first tire I have seen like this, all the other 37's being at least 13.50 in width, so with that in mind I thought its time to go up in size. So far the km2's after giving a test on full turns and some good bumps...so far so good with no rubbing. IMO they are possibly a bit smoother then the toyo's, I think maybe cause they are not as wide. They fit almost flush with my stock fender flares, also for info I have no lift and no cranks on the torsion bars, where as my toyo's stuck out about a inch or so. Dont get me wrong, I love the MT's they performed great, I put some hard miles on them and never had a puncture or flat of anykind. Living out in the northwest we get alot of rain/snow and I wanted a tire they maybe could get even better wet weather traction. IMO I think the km2 may give better rain traction due to more grooves in the rubber. I will keep ya posted on how they do, they better perform better cause the price of these things seems crazy high, but due to the poor economy and made in the US, and getting a good deal (ya I know, dont say it) I decided to give them a try. I would post a picture, but the last time I tried It didnt work. LONG LIVE THE HUMMER H2's

I would be interested in knowing how they perform in the snow. I have the Toyo MT's and they are horrible in the snow and ice. Keep us posted.

Looks great. :beerchug: Good luck with them.

They fit without cranking the torsion bars? How is the highway noise?

Any update how those babies performed in the Snow or any further review on them???? I still have lots of miles to put on my stock A/T's but I am scouting out replacements now. How?s the wear on them??

a update on km2..here in the northwest we had record snow fall so I got to put em to the test and I have to say they perfomed great...I was running about 37lbs pressure. Great traction. havent got to try them in mud terrain yet..that comes in the fall when hunting season gets here.
