Well when I lift it it will be an sas I was thinking  31 km2 but my buddy says they dont work real great in mud

weird, anyways I'm done on the internet weiner swinging. Driver error you drove in the mud and got stuck thats your fault not the tires.

I never said the km2's suck and I got stuck because I had them and not the mtrs or ect.    I told him I wasn't that impressed with there performance on the type of mud that he will be wheeling on. I don't know how many different ways you want me to tell you that. If your done comparing dicks over the internet than simply crawl back into your hole and quit posting up.

yup driver error yes, I should have inspected my tires before going in to the mud, I ripped a hole in my sidewall you can ask bog toy about that day. it sucked

You and I sir are completely different people. Well played  :clap2:

just saying you should not blame a tire on your mistakes. boggers 1100hp rockwells and lockers will still not get you though some mud so I guess thats the tires fault right?

I'll say it one more time, I never said the tires had anything to do with me getting stuck. I also never said they suck.


 My conclusion on km2's so you guys get it,
  They don't wear bad at all( I have them on my dd)
 I love them in snow.
Pretty good on rocks.
 I don't wheel mud, but I was kinda suprized how they acted in the mud when I did.
Overall I like these tires.

Anyone( 83crawler12,fade, daniresch) that wants to call me dumb,or discuss my driving errors can shoot me a mesage anytime.

This is the quote that begin this 'discussion' I think. Anyway, issue has been resolved.

Would recommend SASing and building it first, than risk breaking IFS parts on the trail.
yea I would to just no money and I will have to buy tires soon because mine are like gone

I never said any of that, sorry if it came across that way. I trust your judgment. Which tires do you recommend?

Very understandable. Would try and find a used set on the cheap if possible than spending big money on new tires.  :thumbs:

For him I honestly don't think it's gonna matter, he just needs some kind of decent mud terrain. If he does a sas then he should get some 35 km2's, I just had my buddy get a set for his truck were building and I think there gonna work perfect.

On another note I would personally like to try the new mtrs, but my 39.5 iroks just flat do work so I don't see a need to change.

I like the new MTR's aswell. Personally wouldn't buy one because they are more like a all terrain and from experience wear down faster than km2s. Still both are great tires.

THORNBIRDS FTW!!!!


It all depends on what you do with your truck.  pro's and con's to every single tire IMO.

Iroks do flat out work, very impressive tire IMO.


There is sooo many variables that can change how a tire does, what works well on one person's rig may not work for someone else. ETC.

with that said, i vote thornbirds,  Just because they don't work on most peoples' rigs, maybe it will be the opposite for you.

 I was told by the guy that paints the lug nuts for gravedigger,  that running thornbirds out back, mud grapplers up front and a bogger as your spare is the best combo you could ever get. But the most important part he said is to have at least a 4" blocks front and rear and you gots to have teh truck nutz dangling out back if you really want to get through the mud hole brah!!!

and not the chrome ones either,  the flesh color'd ones.
It also helps if you have at least 18 chrome shocks front and rear.  don't forget those
