I agree. I actually like my KM2s better than the AT KOs I've had in the past for street driving. Off-road they have so far performed excellent and I've yet to be disappointed nor doubt I will be, be it here in the muddy south or up in the clay and rocks of Kentucky. On the street they're quiet and well behaved for a MT. Rain doesn't seem to faze them either.

So far tread-wise the wear is excellent. I have about 7500 miles on them and only wore 2/32 of the tread. They're 18/32 new for mine and given the wear so far I would expect at least 50K out of them before hitting the 4/32 replacement time. I'll probably replace them at half tread just to keep the off-road edge up, but that'll be another couple years at the rate I'm going. I'm definitely not gentle on them either, they get a hard 180 deg full lock turn into my condo's drive at least once a day and mainly city driving.
