Thanks
I called BFG this morning and was told the 35x12.50R15 KM2 has a ETA of 6-8 weeks.

If you placed your order soon we shouldn't have any issues filling your order when they are available. We don't have too many orders waiting yet.

That's great news, thanks! I should have the money to place the order by next Wednesday.

Do you know of anyone running the Dunlop Radial Mud Rover on their JK? I see these are in stock and at a decent price - I'm seriously considering them but I don't want to get them and wish I had gone with something else. Can you give some feedback on them?

Thanks!

I haven't seen any reviews from JK owners regarding this tire but the overall performance of the Mud Rover is good. The only complaint I really see regarding this tire is road noise but that's to be expected with this style M/T. The lugs are spaced pretty far apart for better clearing and off-road performance.

Went through all the pages of this thread, and didn't see a single setup with these BFG's, seems everyone gets the MT'S. Any reason for this? The AT's are C load, and weigh a lot less than the MT's, seems like it would be a good setup.

Gotta love that! Thank you for your support. I'm happy to hear we were able to ship your order sooner than expected.

Personal preference would be my guess. The AT KO would be a great all terrain tire choice in this size.

Does this mean that there will be some 15x8 MB72s in stock now if we placed an order this week? Or did he just get lucky?

We had one lone set come in from the manufacturer. Somehow one set snuck onto their most recent container shipment. We won't be receiving anymore until mid next month but we are going to have plenty
