I've owned BFG KMs, BFG KM2, and Goodyear MT/Rs. Both the BFG KMs and KM2s are amazing. I wouldn't hestitate to go with either. They are so quiet for an MT tire.

The goodyear MT/Rs were much louder, didn't handle as well on road, and wore funny.

I've run several sets of 35" BFG at's on previous trucks, and now have 34" Terra Grapplers on the JK.

The Terra's work fine. Good on the streets, dirt/rock trails. Better than the bfg's on rain/snow/ice. I have not had them in mud, but since they aren't a mud tire, I have no expectations there, and assume they will perform just as stellar as any other AT tire. They are less expensive than the other tires I was looking at, and have a semi-aggressive design for an AT. I would have no problems getting these again. (though I'd move up to a 35" next time)

Louder than the stock Sahara tires, with the windows down or doors off, I can definitely hear them. But not anywhere close to MT loud. Just typical big AT tire noise.

I had the Nitto's on my truck. Terrible in wet weather, all they would do is spin. They did, however, seem to work in the sand at Silver Lake.

I don't have experience with the BFG's
