First thing I would do is narrow down your selection a bit further. Decide on A/T or M/T. Can't really compare the two.

I have the Terra Grapplers. Semi-Aggressive look for an AT, by far the best price of the tires I was looking at, and performs very good on street/rain/snow/trail. (better than the bfg at's in rain/snow)


*But since you are only doing 5k miles per year, why even bother with an AT? Personally, I'd scratch that idea and focus only on MT's. From your current choices, I'd go with either the Mud Country's or MTZ's...
Oh, and the baja claws are directional tires, so be sure you know what what you're getting into if you go with those.

I'm sorry if i hurt someones feeling for laughing when the suggested goodyears. If it was me I would run BFG AT because I run them on all my rigs, 03 dodge ram, and my jeep. I love them they have taking everything that I have thrown at them and they still look brand new.

GOODYEARS SUCK!!!!!!tony stewart bitches about them every sunday.....LOL

I think the KM2's are way to expensive for my budget though. How much did everyone get them for? I need 5~!

Your choice...but I like the look of a wider tire thus I went with a 33x12.50 STT on my Jeep...but I also went with a 17x8 aftermarket rim with 4.5" BS.

The backspacing should be no problem as long as I hook up with the spidertrax spacers, right?!
