Yeah toyoduh. Cool tag, duh!
I switched from MTR's when Goodrich came out with the new KM2's. I've run so many sets of BFG's MT's on different trucks, I can't count 'em. I was actually looking for a set of their MT's when I got a smoking deal on MTR's and couldn't pass on it.
Well anyway, I was looking to move up to 37's and I saw an ad for the new KM2's. With the competition proven tread pattern and technology developed over the years, I figured it was time to go back to my favorite tire manufacturer. So far I haven't been disappointed.
The 37" Competition Krawlers were a little pricey and the street tire was real close in design, though not as gnarly as the off-road version, but more affordable. So I snagged a set.
I broke 'em in on the Rubicon on Marlin's Roundup recently.
Since then I put 'em to the test at the Hammers.
They flex, grab, and hold up to the abuse so far. And I have to say, on the road from Tahoe back to the trailer at the spillway, they were quiet and responsive. BFG did their homework and has offered a good dual purpose tire for extreme wheeling and highway travel.
I have to admit, for my use (I trailer my rig), I wish I had the more aggressive sidewalls of the Krawlers. But for the price and the performance, I'm happy with them. :biggthumpup:

The first part of a write-up here...  http://www.runandplaymotorsports.com/MCR6%20Rubicon.htm  ...covers more of the decision making process.

I judged the WE rock compotition in Houston texas and there was one rig running them. It was a sammie and it did really well. Other then catching the headers on fire. lol!!

I have always been a fan of BF Goodrich and have had the AT and curently have the MT. When  I move up in tire size I will go with these tire FO Sho!
