I too am lookin at buying some. Seems the reviews Ive seen say they work pretty good about everywhere, but not 100% any one place. Maybe a wee bit noisy compared to road tires. I would have bought them by now but the size I want is not quite on the market yet, so Im runnin takeoffs until they are available.
i work at at tire shop and if it wasnt for the fact that i just put new tires on less than a year ago i would have a set on my truck, they will definitely be my next set of tires.
A buddy of mine just bought some 33 km2s for his FJ cruiser. I bought KM's a couple months back for my ranger and now we can compare a little between the two. From what I've seen the KM2's are quieter than the KM's. It also seems like the tread composition is a little bit softer in the KM2's because the nubs on the tread were getting chipped a little bit on the front edges. (We do significant off-roading). Overall I love the KM's and I think they are tried and true, but I do like the new tread pattern because I think they will perform better on road in wet/snow conditions than the KMs do.
FINALLY GOT MY TIRES! took 4wheelparts 1 month to get my Rims and tires.Rockcrawlers series 152 black street lock with bfg 35x12.50x15 Mud terrain KM2.looks sexy.
Im currently running 32/11.50/15's and the BFG KM2's have impressed me with their ability to go through gooey gumbo and wasting sandblows alike. I also have 33/10.50/15's on an old Dodge w-150 and love the way they handle deep snow and glazed ice. Im seriously thinking of buying stock in these tires!
In regards to noise? I only notice it on pavement. If you get bored with it, just turn up the radio .
I've heard they are quieter than the old KM1 tires. And those wern't very loud tires at all compared to other mud terrains on the market(baja claw, mt/r, mtz just to name a few).
Just got a set mounted on my BII. I love them. Snow and ice up here in Fairbanks now with another 5 months on the way and so far handle great and minimal noise. Hell, I am still running stock gears and as long as you are easy on the throttle you barely need to go into 4x4.
