Default New Tires!! Can't Decide!!

Hey jeep family,

So i just got my lift in the mail yesterday AEV 2.5, Correction brackets, Procal. I also got my wheels in Method double standard 17x8.5. with 4.75" backspacing. Now i need to order my tires. I cant decide im stuck between Toyo MT, or BFG KM2. I've heard good things about both tires. Please help me decide. If you can provide feed back on which one last longer and has better off road performance. This is my DD i drive about 25 miles a day, and use this a my vacation vehicle for the family.


By they way i have a 2013 Rubicon, Auto, with 4.10 Gears. So i will have no issues with gearing.


Thanks for the help in advance.

I would recommend the Toyos. I run them myself and love them. I have been extremely happy on and off road with them. I have done a lot of off road driving on slick rocks and driving to places like Vegas from Arizona with a quiet, comfortable ride. I replaced mine at 30,000 miles with a good amount of life left. Only changed them because I ripped a sidewall on rebar and decided to replace them all.

I had the km2's on my 08 jk and loved them. Excellent off road and a quiet on road ride as well Just bought a 2013 and maybe going with another set. I have the Good Year Duratracs on my 97 TJ and love these tires. A lot of good reviews on forums about these tires. Thinking either the km2's or Duratracs. Good luck

I went with Toyo 285/75/17 due to their documented longevity, aggressive look, quietness and $$ savings. Mine is a DD too, and I couldn't be happier!

My vote is for the Toyo's. Runs truer to size and are incredibly durable. Seem to have decent wear with routine rotations as well.

I am gona go toyo when I get my money together, and I have been hearing that the A/T 2 have been doing just as good if not better then the MT off road. That's coming from a toyo tire distributor (distributes to company's)
