I voted MTZ, but thats only because with my experience with thus far has been very good. I haven't owned the KM2's so I cannot accurately give you what i think is better of the two. But I do have the MTZ's on my wifes Jeep and mine.

I've been researching alot of tires as Im in the market as well. From a general stantpoint I've been looking at the KM2s -MTZ- Toyo MTs. It sounds like all three tires are the best of the best and you probably cant go wrong with any of them. I would go with whatever tire you like best and cost, as a deciding factor.

I guess the deciding factor is going to be size of wheel. The MTZ is close to $30 cheaper in a 16'' than KM2 but the KM2 is $30 cheaper in a 17''.......In a
33'' tire! Since those both are running neck to neck, I guess price is the only thing to base it on.

KM2's are simply the best muds out there. I could not believe the hill climbs I was doing in my Jeep without using the lockers or the electronic limited slip turned on. I used the lockers less then I did when I had the stock mud terrains.

KM2's the BEST MUD, HAHAHA far from it, have you used the MTZ's? Just wondering how you can say the best tire is the KM2, or have you used EVERY tire out there.

I vote for the KMII's. I've had them on for about 6months and like them a lot. Very good on road and great off road.
