BFG KM2's ride and wear fantastic. can recommend...just be aware that they do run a little small once mounted. m 315's (34.8) measure out at barely 34" with 35psi. count on dropping an inch no matter what size once they are mounted.

My toyo's are the same way. 315/75/16 "34.8" mounted at 26 psi sitting at right around 34" under vehicle weight. Unless you're talking about the spare or something.

I think the toyo's run just a tad bigger than the km2's. I've measured my km2's at 28psi and they are only around 33.5 under vehicle weight. They work great though aired down to 12-15psi in sand/rocks here in my area.

Anyone know how the sidewalls are in the fierce attitudes? I have a friend with the Duratracks and has sliced the sidewalls on two of the tires within two months of owning them.

Aren't they essentially the same tire made by a Goodyear subsidiary or am I confusing them with something else?

Idk if it's just my jeep but it seems like once I put my 35's on it doesn't track as well going down the road. Anyone have the same issue and know a fix? I got it aligned already. Sorry it's a lil off topic but I figured this would be the group to ask

How much air pressure are you running in the tires? Chances are it is to high, and can cause this
