I am not running it, but I love that size. 33.1x10R16 That would be a great fit on a factory wheel. I like tall skinny Jeep tires though.

I've had mine since Monday and I love them. I had wider 265/75/16s Firestone Destination Mts before the KM2s. The KM2s ride alittle quieter and seem to have a softer ride. I went to a deep sand trail where I tested the Firestones and tested my KM2s, and they performed slightly better. I did have to trim my air dam because at full turn they rubbed.

I ran them on my old '01 Montero Sport and they are an exceptional tire. Rode very well and not too noisy for a M/T tire.

I had about 30k miles and 1/3rd tread left so should go 45-50k miles at least.

They measured 32.8 mounted. Keep in mind my Montero Sport weighed 4,900 lbs with half a tank of gas and my 240lbs in it.

These will be my next set of tires when the stockers wear out, unless i lift it by then.
