are you talking the mud terrain KM2s or the A/T? my vote is KM2 mud terrains. my rubicon is a DD and i average about 60 miles/day. the KM2s did extremely well in last years blizzard, too. even had to drive on the highway and make my own exits and tracks. never once felt unsafe. packed snow/ice was alittle different, but driving sensibly i had no issues.

I just got the procomp xtreme ATs that you mention. Good on wet pavement so far, rained on me the day I got em. Quiet and come with a 40k mile warranty. I haven't had the chance to go off road with them yet, maybe this weekend. But mine, like yours, is a DD. Still working on finding the right psi to smooth out the ride

I have Terra Grapplers on one of my trucks and I have been very pleased with them. They have done great for me on and off road. The km2 is hard to beat for an MT. You can have them sipped to help improve your winter traction. I'd also recommend looking into the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors or Wrangler DuraTracs. Both of these tires carry the snowflake symbol and are approved for use in sever winter conditions.

If we can help you with a set please let us know. We give $50.00 off jk-forum members totals instantly when they purchase 5 tires and shipping to MD is FREE. All you need to do is call in your order and mention this website. 1.888.459.4080

Default Down to last two selections!

Have done a lot of readingl ast night and for the price point reputation and history looks like I'm leaning towards the Cooper Discoverer STT with a slight chance of the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrec. Thanks for all your input fellas and appreciate and final comments on my last two
