Default BF Goodrich Tires? Any thoughts?

I am thinking of the BFG Mud terrain KM's 33x12.5x16. I will probably switch them out to my 31 sahara tires in the winter ...just because I have both and want to slow down the wear and wont be wheelin in the winter. I am also going between a 15 or 16 inch rim....I dont really want to have to mess with the brake calipers if 15's dont fit and I am getting the impression it is hit or miss. I have a 07 sahara. I am in tire overload right now and just need some suggestions...

Can't go wrong with the BFG KMs but unless you pull them off Craigslist you'll more then likely be getting the KM2s which are the newer BFGs and most folks like 'em.

I found them on 4wd.com....the KM2's seem to be a lot more aggressive....what rims are you guys running with them and how much backspacing did you need?

Alot of people and research will tell you that KM2's are a vast improvement over the legacy KM's. It offers a new tread pattern that reduces noise and improves on-road handling.. especially in the rain where the sipe-less KM's floundered.

With that being said, I ran both in 255/85/16 (Pizza Cutters) and didnt notice any difference between the two.
