You'll be waiting a while. . .

We siped ours at 2k and now have over 51k on them and still have over a 1/4 the tread left. And that's after numerous off-road trips from Kansas City to Moab, Ouray, etc., and a few trips to local off-road parks. They wear like iron.

I kind of want to buy 35's before our annual winter trip to Moab, but I'm just not sure I can talk myself into spending the money while these are still good.

I got my KM2's when the KM's had about 1000 miles on them. I advertised them and sold them fairly quickly to a guy with a Cherokee. 32's are pretty good sized for a Cherokee and he was going to lift and cut to put them on. I sure wouldn't wait to wear out the stock KM's before upgrading.

Deep snow they are great. Last winter went through 24"s of fresh snow on a logging road. But packed snow or ice is the only complaint I have for the KM2's. They slide all over. Normal thoughfor a MT. The stock Sahara tires do better on snow covered paved roads.

SOld my Rubicon KM's for 650 bucks locally with 3K on them. They still had the little hairs on them in some places. Not a lot of money but still a good price around here. Abilene is poor and small

28 psi here. Seems like it's a good pressure for a smooth ride and even wear.

28 psi on my 35" KM2's. When heavily loaded I'll bump my rears to 29-30 psi. Off road 15 seems to work well though it looks like you could go lower with no problems.

Couldnt imagine going with anything but the KM2s.
Love them on every terrain.
Even quiet on the interstate.
These are 325/60/R20s (36x13.5)








Not to mention they are BEAUTIFUL!!!

you will regret going to 33's. You will instantly wish you had gone a bit bigger and the price per tire is marginal
x2

wish i would have gone with 35s or 37s
