I'm not sure which tire to go with as my next upgrade. I love the KM2s for summer, they're quiet on the highway and handle great. I'd love to get something that holds its own a bit better in snow.

That's what I figured and I guess it makes sense being an MT. The rubber compound is different on the Duratracs and it has mad siping. So, looks like Duras for me for sure. Thanks for the real world input.

I spoke to my buddy this weekend who works at a tire shop. He said the MTR Kevlar 37X12.5 production has stopped until further notice.... I want these for memorial day weekend!

I love my MTR/Ks. Work great in the U.P., with our varied terrain ( rock, mud, sand, clay, snow etc.). Great all around tire.

They were cheaper when I bought them locally. KM2's were $185 and MTR/K's were $220. I guess it was just where I purchased them.

I am in between these tires now, what are people getting mileage wise on the MTR Ks? I am looking at 35x12.5r15s

I've been trying to find out the same thing. Seems like no one I can find has had them long enough to tell. They say they are wearing well for the few thousand miles they've driven.
