i have got my tire options down to two either nitto mud grapplers or km2s the one i pick will be 35x12.50r17 on 17x9 soft 8s

 

Hard one....

Appearance for sure the Nittos, best looking tire on the market...

Road manners and function, BFG, best combination of M/T and on-road manners.

If you have a long commute, BFG, short Nitto!

 

I agree 100%. The road manners of the Nitto's...VERY GOOD, especially for how aggressive the tire is. The only thing is, it's loud! It hummmmms down the road. If you don't mind that, they drive great, look great, and wheel great. If you don't like tire hum, DON'T go with the Nitto. If you don't mind it, it's hell of a better looking tire.

 

I have the Nitto Muds... They are super loud!!! BUT... They are a very round mud tire, that rides great. There is barely any weight on my wheels for balance. I wanted the KM2's but they were going to cost an extra $100 a tire almost!!! I am glad I went with these, they are great!!! The only time they wobble or vibrate or anything is at under 5mph you can feel the jeep rolling on those big lugs. They make this cool sound at low speed (under 5mph) if you roll the window down it sounds like they are tearing away from the road. Almost like velcro. At high speed the Jeep sounds more like a small airplane than a Jeep on mudders. I am sure they will not wear like the BFG, but they are loads of fun.

 

KM2s. Nitto makes pretty damn good tire though. I had the terra grapplers on my tundra and there were just as nice as BFG AT KOs but $90 less ea. The mud grapplers are bad arse looking

 

Just put you some recaps on it.

 

I have the nitto mud. Yes there loud and that is about the only bad thing i can say and to me being loud isn't a bad thing. As for wear i have 31000 on mine and still have half maybe slightly less than half and i mean slightly. So if i had the choice i would go with the nitto. AGAIN

 

bigbluejk u have the 35s right how much were they and were did u get them. also how do the nittos and the km2s hanndel rain and snow commpared to the kms on my rubi. i need a tire that i can hold the road will i do 50 down back roads to a fire call. if the handel as good as the kms ill be good i had the jeep almost commpletly sideways at 35 to 40 mph after i hit ice going to a house fire on christmas last year and i was able to get her straight agian

 

i see alot of newer vehicles, mostly 4x4 trucks, with nitto mud grapplers that look worn out. they must be mad of softer compount or sump'm.

corey d

 

I like round tires too. I hated my old square ones I had on my bike.
