Question i need help!!

trying to decide between 35" tires. i've been looking at toyo mt's and b.f. goodrich km2's...Need a tire that does well on the road as i do have a decent commute to work. These two seem like the ones most people like. I'd like some opinions from people that have either one or any other tires that they really like.

Have you considered Nitto Trail Grapplers. I'm running trail grapplers now. Love them, had the toyos on a ram i use to have. They were awsome also. My vote goes to Toyos or Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Default Bfg

I am using my second set of BFG AT KO's and they do very well BUT I might switch to the KM2 next time because the Jeep is leaning toward off road as much as on road.

I have had 35" BFG KO's on Z71.... 35" MT Baha Claws on Z71... 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers on F150... 32" BFG KM's on JK and again with 35" MT Baha Claws on JK.. I have liked the way each rode both on road and off.... Good Luck!!!

I think most all MT are gonna be good. Just remember they are a mud terrain tire. In the winters if you get some snow and ice, you have to drive smart with them. Any mud terrain is gonna get dicey in bad conditions. But as far as ride quality any of the newer designs are so advanced now they ride very well and last a good amount of miles. The load rating will determine how stiff they are. C rated is gonna ride better than an E rated tire.

I am really impressed with my Toyo MT's. They sure do well in the icey winters we have here in Alberta...with a little weight in the back of course. I think they are a good choice for someone who wants an all-round tire that performs well both on road and off. I find that the only time I hear the tires making any noise is going really slow on pavement. They also look great on my Jeep.
