Who runs them and how do you like them? Ive read lots of reviews and heard good things about them. But I want it from the horses mouth so to speak now, the people who actually use them in an way I plan using them. Pics too would be great just for a visual.

I had them on my Ram 2500 in 37/13.50/20 and they were some of the best tires I've ever owned. They were quiet on the highway, took bumps good, and seemed to wear good. I only put about 12k on them before I sold the truck but they still looked good.

i have 35/12.5/17s on my 2 door for about 15,000 km now. i have them on stock wheels and have driven down to california with them, wheeled in snow, mud, rock crawled, and day-to-day driving. no chunking on rocks and sidewalls are thick and tough. consistently air down to 10psi when wheeling. these are load range E's so they are stiffer than your average tire. they have worn evenly....only downfall is they are directional. hope this helps.

I am running the KL78 on my Jeep. I have no complaints. I have pics posted under my profile. Hopefully you can see them well. Took them mudding already and did real good for me.

Took a little bit with xmas and holidays, but finally ordered some of these. Should have them Fri, fingers crossed. Got them from one tire shop 2 hours away because the local one in my city wanted an extra $65 a tire, but both the same store, OK Tire, and my traveling buddy is grabbing them for me so no shipping. Cant wait to try them out

Post pics when you get them on... I'm thinking about a set of these when my jeep needs new shoes.

Anyone measure these for actual size??? wonder if they run small like km2's tend to or are true 35's.

I had these (35x12.50x18) on my 04 F-150 S-Crew. I got them then immediately drove from Orlando to San Diego and back with a loaded bed on the way back and they showed no signs of wear. They ARE quiet on the highway. A great tire to have if you want a mud terrain without the road noise.

I went straight from the tire shop to the nearest off-road spot to "asses" them. It was remarkable where I could go in 2WD and practically unstoppable in 4WD. In the mud they clean out really well even at low speeds and in the sand and mud they dig in and keep impeccable forward momentum of the vehicle.

The only issue I had with them was when I pulled a 25' trailer (8500lbs) from Orlando to NC and back. The front tires started cupping quite a bit and it went down hill from there. After the first long haul I did them more often. I checked the alignment and started rotating them more often but the cupping just got worse and the road noise started increasing to the point of sounding like an old set of BFG M/Ts. You won't be pulling that much in a JK though so you shouldn't have a problem. I had about 30k on them before I sold the truck (to get a Jeep) and they had about another 5k on them even in that condition.

I would love to see a review of these on a Jeep.
