I voted for KM2's. I went through the same decision making that you are going through now, except the MTR-K was my 3rd place choice, not the the Nitto TG. Price won out in the end in BFG vs Nitto.

Every set of Good Years I have ever had have worn unevenly, and the MTR/K is only a C load rating for the 35-12.5-17. If you have a 4 door I wouldn't go down to that load rating. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about the KM2's other that they run a little small, but what tire doesn't?

KM2 and couldn't be happier
I have the BFG KM2 and love them. Have a little of 10k miles and still look brand new. Do a lot of street driving and go rock climbing atleast 2 times a month. Great tire. Before I locked my JK i could go everywhere, plus a little that my friends rubicon would go locked with the MTRs. We both aired down to 8 psi also. His tires are also chunking and tearing apart easily on the treads. I must admit, Im going to be selling my KM2s very soon though and going with Swamper SXs My jeep doesn't do much road travel anymore and want more tire.

I voted the MTR's. Been running my set for around 25k and have very even wear. Running my spare in at every rotation and am getting the extra 20% out of the lot. Balancing wasn't an issue in the slightest.... but maybe I got lucky and got a great set. This winter will be the first snow they see, but I'm sure I wont be disappointed.

Well right now its a tie between the Nittos and BFG's. Only problem is the BFG's are on national back-order 
. I've been told different stories by a few different suppliers. Some say a few months while some say they have no clue.
Anyone have comments for the Pro Comp tires, mainly the extreme M/T?
