If you went with the stock Rubicon 32" KM2s, Tire Rack has um on sale for like 59 bucks each.

KM2's are the best all around tire I've ever come across.

Have you owned both tyres?

I haven't owned both, only the MTZs. I was planning to switch to the KM2 but have found out from 3 different people who have owned both tyres, they all rated the MTZs better than the KM2. The MTZs do perform better on wet road due to the siping, KM2 has zero siping!

When you get both tyres the same size next to each other the MTZs looks heaps better and tougher due the bigger lugs. Don't understand why BFG made their lugs so small.
The MTZs also has bigger and more aggressive side bitters that work well in on rocks, sand and make a big difference in mud and the KM2 side bitters only work well on rocks due to there smaller size and flat square shape.
