Important

screw the rest of the brand....if they only made the mtr id be happy. My old tread 37's stuck like flypaper, i'd own another set in a heartbeat. 7lbs, no beadlocks, all day every day

Yes they did :D I have a video (you and Sam are actually in it) where I shot right up killing time while the KM2 guys struggled on it.
 
KOs are much cheaper and about as good. I've been pleasantly surprised how solid they have been on my rig.

Gonna be Right at $1100 for 5 new KM2's for my Jeep.

I have 20k miles on my KM2's and that's after I bought them used. still have half tread just going up another inch. I think the 32's are actually more expensive than 33x10.5's
 
Goodyear Duratracs. Best tire I've ever run.

BFG KM2's. worst tire I've ever run. Well next to ProComp X-terrains but they don't count.


They've never given me trouble, of course 99% of the time I get stuck is because my Jeep is a lowrider!
 
Worse or better than Nitto Mud Grapplers? I only ever see those run damn near bald on giant chrome rimmed brodozers around here.

It's not a day on the trail without a cut km2 :D

Noted on the duratracs.... I personally don't know anyone running them so I have no firsthand experience. I may look into a set for the dd.

Best street/trail mt I've ever run is hands down the Firestone destination mt. No joke they flat out rock and have better road manners than anything else I've run, and I've owned a lot.
 
Not surprised about the destination MTs, I love my firestone wilderness ATs on my POS red DD XJ... or did until I slashed the crap out of one.

They're "rollover specials" off an explorer, got 3 of em free, paid 40 bucks at the local junkyard for the other. And pretty damn good traction wise for a factory tire.

At first I was slightly afraid to run them due to all the rollover concerns, but then I remembered I've already had a steer tire blow out at speed on a jeep and handled it without even really thinking about it, and I run em at 32-35psi instead of 26 anyways.
 
I didn't know the water bottle CPS trick until the next day :(

What's the water bottle trick?

I hate the Firestone MT. Made out of concrete and have paper sidewalls
 
Mine are ooooooooooold, somewhat dry rotted, and pretty soft. I think that helps their traction. :gee:

It's pretty vehicle specific. I have a weird CPS overheating problem. I don't know if it's related to tranny temp, since I don't have a gauge, or engine temp. Or maybe the CPS is just old and busted.

But when my jeep shuts off in Harlan in July when it's 100 degrees outside and won't restart, a bottle of water dumped down the backside of the intake manifold all over the cps causes it to cool down enough to start up and run again for as long as you can provide airflow to cool it :D

I didn't know about it when I went out with doug and sam, so when the jeep shut off we were waiting for everything to cool down and fix itself. Doug winched me up the trail because it was single lane and there were a bunch of people waiting on us.
 
It's not a good way to start the day by heading to the ER at 0630. She has had a rather rare, but not unknown reaction to one of the chemo compounds that might have actually been a cardiac event. At the moment, it's unknown what's going to happen, there will be a fair amount of discussion over the next 2 weeks before her next scheduled chemo session. It could be a reduction in that compound, elimination of the compound completely, change to a different compound, or stop chemo completely.

<bleep> <bleepity> <bleep> <bleep> cancer.
