I have the Irok radial and love them. I have about 30,000 on them now, the rear have a tad under 50% left on them. The fronts are in bad shape left the front end out of whack to long. I’m running 33x13.5x17. I run them around 15pounds off road on stock rims no problems and they pull better in the soft uphills better than a KM2 at 8 psi.

i've been running the KM2's in a 33" since they came out, so over a year now and have had em in rocks, snow, mud rocky hillclimbs and anything else the east coast has to offer and have to say they performed better than expected, especially since i've wheeled with one dude who had on brand new pro-comp mt's for their trial run and got a gash in the side wall that was not able to be plugged. i've at times thrashed these km2's and also burned rubber in the rocks and smoked em pretty good and they keep going..not to say that pro-comps are bad but just my 2 cents is all. it coulda been the guy was really young and didnt have the experience off road but thats my only experience with the pro-comps. but km2's are definitly a great tire in my opinion and just gotta rotate em every oil change and you'll be good, i gotta check my mileage when i gotta em and see how many miles i have on em and i'll get back to ya..

though i am interested in the mickey thompson MTZ's when i go up in tire size really only cause of the price but i wanna hear how others rate them here on the forum...

I enjoy discussing tires as much as the next tire freak , but is there any specific reason you revived this thread that has been dormant for 6 mos?
