You know what they say about opinions lol. I personally have no complaints about mine, but I'm not going to make outrageous claims that they're the best on the market. But they sure do push my open open JK thru some stuff out there!
Downside,soft sidewall prone to cuts,37's more like oversize 35's(they measure small)

I run 37 1250 17's they do measure a bit small, On road they are great (quiet), decent in rocks and mud, terrible in snow. I have almost 33K miles on mine and still have plenty tread. I have run Cooper stt's in the past and think they are a better tire then the km2.

I am on my second set of 35 km2's and really like the way they preform. First set went 55,000 miles before I replaced them and did everything I expected them to do on rocks, mud,sand, and highway. That being said just want to let you know before you go with 37's you are adding a lot of weight to your axles and might think about reinforcement (sleeves and gussets), I have to replace a bent rear axle from bang my on the rocks at Bridgeport. Also regearing will be something to reconsider, I have a JKUR with 4.11's and if I went any larger I would have to regear to have any acceleration for a stop.

I'm still up in the air between the Duratrac, KM3 and KO2.
First, the tire weight on the KM3 is nearly 10lbs heavier than the other two. The prices are within a reasonable price for each. I keep reading in Posts all over Forums is the BFGs are susceptible to requiring balancing more often than the Goodyear tire. They all get great ratings.
I'm running out of time and tread on my current tires. The only reason I would buy the KM3 is the style and appearance as it's aggressive. I learned that the Duratrac has the best ride on the asphalt. KO2 has a stiffer loud ride and weighs more than the Duratrac. As for tire size I have 3.73 gears on a 2.5" lift, so I'm not going more than 315 70 17 in size. I'm concerned the KM3 would strain the drive train at 75lbs plus wheel weight. But they sure look good on a Jeep Wrangler.
