Two completely different tires. Daily Driver? Off road? What kind of off roading?

Mostly daily.. what other tires do you guys recommed? Going with 33s with stock rims. Teraflex Performace Leveling Kit and I'm assuming I need 1.5" wheel spacers? Thanks.

I do 80% DD and light trail. I'm running GY Silent Armors - I really like them. really good on road manners, good for trail stuff but I probably wouldn't crawl with them.

I'd say for both daily driver and off-road, the KM2. I had nothing but problems with my 33 inch Duratracs (I know it's uncommon, but they were insanely terrible for me - got rid of them as quickly as I could).

Duratrac are a lot quieter. KM2 is my choice for offroad but the duratrac did well for my brother in law at Rausch Creek on a fairly stock jk. Followed me on all the greens, deep water/mud and did fine on on obstacles. He's on 33" duratracs. I'm on 35" KM2s.

I was going towards the KM2s as well. I just see alot of folks in here either have one or the other. They both look great!
