Default KM2's BACKORDERED!!!

Ok so the KM2s are backordered until January! I'm trying to get everyones opinion on the best reasonably priced alternative. Or should I just suck it up and wait the 2 months. I'm seeing from other threads that procomp extreme mt or the Mickey Thompson mtz are comporable performance wise but are a few hundred bucks more for 5. So what is the consensus? Or better yet does anyone know of any bfg 35x1250x15 in stock?

Why not go with Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlars?



35x12.50R15

What are your reasons for choosing the Goodyear mtr Kevlar over the KM2?

Everyone I know who's wheeled the KM2 and MT/R Kevlar likes the MTR/s better. On road, and off.

I'll look into other sizes to see if thats the case, however, the i like the look of the 15's not even mentioning the dramatic price difference in the price of rubber.

The KM2s are close to the top of the price scale.

If you don't want to wait or change size, have you considered the Toyo MT Open Country (cheaper) or Mickey Thompson MTZ (a bit more expensive)? Or even the Nitto Mud Grapplers (cheaper)?

I am running KM2s, but I almost went with the Toyos and I have used the MTZs in the past.
