    How did they end up doing on the snow and ice? Ordered my St Maxxs 2 weeks ago on the clearance rack.

    Like shown I believe they are around the 36lb mark for the stock OR tires. That is why I went with the Cooper S/T's as they are 10lbs heavier. If you look at the weight of some of the other 255 tires you will see around 60lbs.

    Looks great! If I can get this size to work on my stock SR it’ll probably be my next tire purchase but that is a ways off.

    Let us know how they work in the snow we’re supposed to get tomorrow night!

    Yeah I will definitely be testing out between tomorrow night and Saturday with the incoming foot or so of snow they are forecasting.

    Perfect, because I’ve been needing an upgrade :D having an extra 900 lbs over stock isn’t helping either.

    Did you take into account the weight of the wheel? :bananadead:

    I was pleasantly surprised. I kept it in 2 wheel drive the majority of the weekend. No drama climbing up or down pretty steep,slippery stuff. Much better than the full size gmc with terra grappler combo I had before.

    Well after getting my first 40 miles on the Cooper Discoverer ST's with mixed highway and stop and go I will say they are much loader than the stock tires (not a surprise). The truck drives nice and smooth though and felt good on the wet roads. I haven't noticed a huge loss in power but there is some which makes me glad I got the lightest ones I could get. This weekend is suppose to bring a mix of ice and snow so we will see how it goes.

    Can't get over how good these trucks look with that tire and stock wheels. Hows the drive down the highways? big difference or just not really once you are moving?

    No idea. I put them on at 200 miles. I remember thinking they felt stiff around town when I picked the truck up. Tire pressure was set at 42 all around however....

    So far for me on the highway they have been fine although I have only put about 20 highway miles on them. I didn't notice any extra gear hunting yet while in cruise control. I will add that I have the OVTune so my perspective maybe different than others with the stock tune. My tires had about 42 psi in them when they were installed. I now have 38 in them.

    After some quality time gathering evidence this last weekend, I really think KM2s are better in snow than alot of folks give them credit for. They aren't any worse than the stock wranglers, at the very least. Plus, seeing the tire tracks in my driveway just makes me happy

    5100's all around, OME 887 with 1/4" spacer, icon 3 leaf aal. 255/75/17 BFG KM's on 4runner pro's. Rigid led pods. Debadged and tinted.
    They are pretty alright in powder. I've run more sets of 255/80/17 km2's than I care to admit. They really fall short of the Toyo mt's in ice since they have zero siping. I've had those tires digging through feet of snow on an 11k pound f250. The design of the lugs works well with turn chains as well.

    Yeah I haven't gotten a chance to get them on ice without snow on top of it yet. I imagine my results wont be very exemplar either, since if I can, I am throwing the ass end all over the place to piss my wife off and have fun. One day I'll end up in a tree for it, I'm sure, but I doubt it will be the tires' fault
