My vote is for the KM2's. Light, handles politely on the road and mega traction offroad. The guys at Discount Tire hooked me up, mention the JK forum!

Neither have I because nitto is made in the USA. Well I guess since china owns most of US we all have ricer tires but lets keep race outta this and just talk about tires ;-)

Never said they weren't made in America. But they make much better tuner tires than 4x4 tires

I've run GY, BFG, Yokohamas(yeah, laugh it up), and Nitto. Once I started with the first set of Niitos, I was so impressed, that has become my staple for 4x4 tire. Heavier? Yes. Longer wear, more durable, better balance, great traction (tread for the terrain), and price point. Vehicles I've used them on, Isuzu rodeo, dodge ram, Land Rover Disco II, and a w others. The Nittos have always outlasted in the same areas the others have had trouble. They are a race proven tire, as many others claim, but they started in racing. Such as Fox suspension, Lucas oils, and the list continues. Race proven tech usually is higher quality. But in the end, do research, and fit to your application. That's the best tire.

Been very happy with my Trail Grapplers. Theyre great for ricer tires . Better sidewall and quieter then BFGs

BFG is a better looking tire and wear a lot better than the nitto's. Every time i see a pair of nittos its on some lowriding 4 door unlimited monstrosity. I would love to see a pair of trail grapplers that didn't look like balloons under a 4 door. Ask anyone who has had more than one or two jeeps and they will tell you to go with a BFG. For those of you who this is there first wrangler and you bought a 4 door....well your probably running or like the look of nittos.
