none for a 15" rim, that sucks. looks very similar to their other mud terrain, should do good.

I think they look like a cross between the krawlers and the muds

[bigarms23]

do you know if they are going to release thoses for a 15inch rim

The BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 light truck tire is designed for rock climbing and other rugged applications. Sizes will be rolled out in two phases, the first starting this September and the second in September 2008.


The tire contains BFG's Krawler TEK technology, consisting of aggressive sidewall lugs, cut- and chip-resistant sidewall compounds, and sidewall cords "that are up to 33 percent stronger than the previous Mud-Terrain T/A KM tire. These advancements allow more bite and sidewall protection, along with increased strength and resistance to bruising caused by rocks and rough trails."

Mt Logan has a few sets. They look just like the crawlers, but with a more shallow tread.

[Shamb]

The Mud-Terrain T/A KM 2 features BFGoodrich's TriGard three-ply polyester carcass construction, while a rim protector provides wheel and sidewall protection.

I forsee some cut sidewalls. On a side note though.. they should give fairly easily for good traction. Should be interesting..

looks more like a street friendly Krawler to me.. To bad their 42's on a 20" rim

Designed for full size trucks obviously ... and we all know how many of them actually go offroad ...

[Rockcrawlintoy]

they should be releasing 15inch rims i think a little later, and some smaller sizes.

some fullsizes go offroad, the gmc pickup in my avatar went offroad quite a bit. needed a lift kit badly though.

My thoughts exactly.  Good looking tire, looks like it should have good forward and laterall traction off road.

[Reynolds]

Can't wait to get a set for myself! Hopefully the prices aren't outrageous Pondering whether or not to switch over to 17" wheels when these tires come out

[havik]

those looks sick. baby crawler T/A's. i wouldnt switch to a bigger rim with all the other good tires out. i bet sooner or later they will come in a 15". they will if they like money. we all like money.

[Cheesemaker]

Most of those tire sizes are for OEM replacement for newer rigs!

That new BFG looks sick, I saw a slight glimpse in a magazine and thought it looked good!

[82toycrawler]

BFG is definately missing the market, not having a 37x15 tire on the market.

i definitely agree with that.

   Looks like a Nitto wannabe

  Looks like a Nitto wannabe

i can see some similarities but i still think they are virtually the same pattern as the krawlers. I can almost guarantee these are going to be THE hot tire as soon as they come out with some preferable sizes

heres the krawler>>>>>



TA K/m 2>>>>>

[red]

looks like the crawler but with more space between the lugs.

[*FFC*]

I like the crawler better... sidewalls are more aggressive on them

[Hottrod81]

Hopefully the sidewalls on these are better than the older mud terrains

[BigMike]

They look like I want a set

[79coyotefrg]

They look like I want a set

so Mike  if  you buy these  you gonna donate  your dogs  to  someone in need 

[jrock]

[Plekto]

OOOOO...

15 inch rims sizes!!! (starts saving his pennies)

[TacoRunner]

I spoke to Jon @ AllPro about KM2 vs. the Krawler. His take on it was the KM2's have better sidewalls than the Krawlers, but that the Krawlers hoopup just a little better.

[jrock]

Anyone heard of how they are in the snow? I'm reading all goods about the rest; rocks, mud, trails, road, etc.

[RN37DD]

kind of looks like expensive dayton's to me.

[Plekto]

Better in the show if just a bit... 

[NorCalToy]

my brother runs these on his 01 Superduty, does great off-road, but he has worn thru them very quickly. Although, i expected they would because of the heavy truck and soft tire. but overall a great tire.
