Default Nitto mud grapples or BFG km2?

I simply can't decide!!! Both are around the same price, give or take $10. Read some reviews on both and didn't see many jeep reviews, mostly full size trucks and SUVS. I'm looking for people who have ran these tires to give there imputed. Looking at getting 315/75/16or17. Thanks guys.

I'm sure you'll get pros and cons but you can't go wrong with either one. I prefer the BFG KM2's

Wait for the KM3 to be released and write a review for us.

I LOVEEEEEE my Mud grapplers… little noisy on the Freeway… but you can't beat the looks and functionality … just remember every oil change to rotate and you are golden!

Depends on what you need the tires for. Personally I wouldn't buy either for what we have up north. Both pretty much suck in any kind of snow ...

NOT EVEN IN THE SAME CATEGORY! Km2s are garbage. I promise mud grapplers are the best dot mud tire out. It's disgusting how well my mud grapplers still go even being bald af.

Like everyone else is saying- you're comparing two completely different things.

How do you intend to actually use the tires? That will help you figure out of either of these are the choice you should make or if you should look elsewhere.

Well once spring comes around I look at taking a few trips to test my jeep out on the trails and what not. The tires will definitely be used off road but they'll also see plenty of pavement.

The look of the km2 are great but if you are just going to hit an occasional trail maybe the KO2 or an all terrain would be better suited for daily driving. You will get a ton of extra milage on them and they are quite a bit cheaper. Personally on looks I prefer the KM2s.

I'd pass on the mud graps - go with a AT tire like others have noted if you're doing a lot of DD and mild trails. Unless you want to sound like you're driving a 4-prop airplane on the freeway. I can usually hear them on the guy next to me over my tires when driving my jeep on the highway

Though I do have 40k on my km2's with lots of life left. I should get 55k out of them. They're lighter than most tires but not as heavy duty as others (sidewall). I'm on my 3rd set and have never had a problem with them but I'm planning on trying something different next.
