KM2 or Goodyear MTR

Im thinking about 37s. I cant decide on the KM2s or the MTR. I had KM2s before and they were great. Has anyone run both? Which is quieter on the hwy? Which is bigger? Any info please.

What about size? I had the KM2s and the 37s were small compared to other 37s Ive had.

I ran a string around the circumference of one of my MT/R w/Kevlar, did the math and got 36.8" at 30 psi
