    I went to the tire shop today and was looking to get some KM2s mounted in 285/70/17s and they said that they were looking at a National Backorder.
    Has anyone else heard of this?

    Yeah they seem like great tires. The only "flaw" I've heard of is the lack of siping.

    Im def. getting the Hankook's for my next tire. All the reviews Ive read/heard say that there great, even in wet conditions and snow. Packed snow not so much, but thats why their pined for studs. And they look B.A! :)

    If you have KM2's and have a bad tires or blow out then your screwed, because there's no replacements.

    "no tires at all" :confused: that's what they told me at Discount Tire. IMO wouldn't take the chances.
