I need a new set of tires. The ones I have, Mud King, just aren't holding up for what I will be doing to them. Just from normal use and only one trip to an off road park one tire is destroyed. They are 35x12.5r15. I want to keep the same size.
I can use my discount through work for BFGoodrich but want some opinions on others.

Bfg km2's. If you don't encounter much snow these tires would be the best for whatever you do!!! In my opinion atleast.
 
Price wise, the km2 is what I might get. My second choice is the MTR kevlar.

Yes we get snow here along with a lot of ice. I would like to get some BFG a/t for just winter use around here.

My BFG KM1s went to hell rather quick. I've seen mixed reviews about the KM2s and severe tread chunking (what happened to my KM1s), however I got a buddy running the KM2s on his Jeep and his seem to be holding up better then my KM1s did.
I don't care much for the KM2's appearance now though (I think they messed with a good thing, they only needed to make the rubber compound more chunk-resistant). I went with the Goodyear MT/R-Ks and couldn't be happier.
 
If I didn't work for BFGoodrich and get a nice discount from them, then I would definitely get the MTR kevlars

My cousin in law has Goodyears on his 2500 Chevy pickup, gravel has pretty well mangled them IMO.
 
What about the ProComp extreme MT? I found a set on CL but they are 33's on 18" rims though. Good price with rims that came off a ZJ.

The MT/R-Kevlar??

Yup, he does drive quite a bit of gravel too though. I have never seen a set of tires shredded that bad though, even his old truck still sporting the old pattern look better.
 
I have KM2's on my Super Duty. I had KM1's on it before these, and the KM2s are a vast improvement over the KM1's. I have yet to have them in the snow, but they do very well in the muck and on road under my diesel.
