    Hey didn't you have KM2s before? and now you have All Terrains.... why the switch and which one do you recommend??? I'm at a toss up between the two

    My km2 were only 31. I got the new all terrains for free and they are 33s plus I drive a ton. I love the km2 though. Great tire.

    So you drive a ton... excellent. How did the KM2 wear?
    If you had to choose 1 model, KM2s or ATs?
    Do you off road a lot?

    Sorry for all of the questions it's just I'm deciding between the two. I drive pavement 80-90% of the time and dirt/gravel shitty roads 10-20% of the time. I do like the aggressive look of the KM2s but I feel like maybe the ATs would suite my driving style better :confused:

    Yes the AT would probably suit you best if you are on pavement a lot. I think that the km2 wear very well on the pavement for a MT though. I still have my km2 with half tread on them. I got them as a sophomore in high school now a junior in college. I didn't drive as much back then but you get the picture. AT are very good tires the only tire my father will buy. But yes the km2 are more off road capable but I don't think the AT will let you down unless you do serious offloading where you need max traction.

    Put a stock muffler back on. Couldn't handle the noise anymore. Nice and quite now.

    Thanks for that detailed reply, though I didn't go with either. I went the Goodyear Duratracs route :eek: I love the aggressive look of em' without having to sacrifice the All Terrain aspect of tires

    I haven't had a chance to really check. Since I had a lot of stuff to do around the house last night & it was dark out. I'll be sure to give it a look today and report back


    EDIT: Just checked. No rubbing on frame, UCA, fenders, or anything from DD mall crawlin'. I can almost guarantee that if I flexed it, it would rub

    Sorry it's taken me so long to respond but no rubbing at all here. Took it on a shitty road over the weekend but didn't notice any rubbing
