Default BFG KM2's

Simple question... I know there are a lot of you running these tires and I was wondering what kind of mileage I can get out of these.. Im trying to decide between the A/T's and the KM2... Thanks!

Talking

The AT ko's last for ~ 75-90k miles, the KM2's seem good for closer to 25-45 k

There's not as much data for the KM2's, as they have not been out as long as the ko's

The original Mud terrain on a Jeep properly rotated could get you close to 55k.

I would suspect they would be very comparable.

The one thing that sucks is personally I think the best do everything tread out there is the factory rubicon BFG's....but they are only making them in that one size for Rubicons.

I think Teej is in the right ball park on durability. It highly depends on how and where you drive, rocks and airing down in particularly will increase wear, but given my experience with the rubber compound and the wear probably ~30-35K max.

Don't buy KM2s if longevity is your main consideration.

I'm pretty sure you can get more than the one size, you're definitely right about the do everything part though...I love mine, super happy with em.

Nope, the factory Rubi tires are indeed one size. 32"X10" not to say there aren't other BFG's MT's in other sizes but the Rubi tires are one and done.
