    Thats what i was worried about when it came to a MT..but when i compared the BFG A/T survey reviews to the BFG M/T, the M/t's had better stats.. which puzzles me but at the same time you cant really compare a MT to a AT since they're in totally different classes? lol

    Not a whole lot of experience on them as of yet. But 4 everything that I have had them through they are amazing. Yes there is definitely a lack of siping. Other then mine starting to chunking out occasionally from all the use they get they are doing really well.

    I had KM2s on my frontier. I won't lie. Those things were legit rain/snow/dry. I never regretted them once.


    Oh yeah... I was 2wd too.... I only got stuck once and that was in deep loose sand.... So if you need reviews I would just recommend google that shit. I never regret them though. I will easily put a set on my next off road rig though.

    I have quite a few off roaders that own diesels and what not. They love there KM2s. You are asking about a tire that is made for off road but yet you want the All terrain comfort. It's like asking if a 4wd or 2wd is better in snow or ice.... No tire will be good on solid ice wether you are 4wd or 2wd unless it is studded. End Of Story.

    All in all though I would strongly recommend the KM2s....

    Nope no regrets at all. I haven't had any issues driving them in the rain. What tires you running now?

    Remember he said he got stuck in loose sand in 2WD... Im sure km2s with 4x4 will be pretty legit in sand.

    I had them on my Bronco. They were great off road, pretty good dry, so so wet, and flat out dangerous on icy Colorado roads!

    They worked fine in packed snow though. Horrible on ice! I had to put my truck in 4wd to get up an iced gentle slope at the mall to turn out onto the road.:eek: Little front wheel drive cars buzzing right by me and I had to get out and lock the hubs to move. Embarrassing as shit! Lifted Bronco on 35's and stuck at the mall. Ugh.

    The only time I ever lost control in that Bronco was on ice too. Cruising up by Pagosa Springs on my to Wolf Creek on a straight stretch of highway. I was not steering, braking, or accelerating abruptly. I was just cruising at the speed limit. No warning jitters to alert me to slow down either. Cruising happy as can be, then it just lets go and starts drifting into the oncoming lane. Absolutely nothing I could do. I just steered into the slide and waited. Went across the opposing lane and into the snow bank, spun around and hit the bank again. The tires NEVER grabbed even a speck of road. Just that Hsssssssssssssssssssss sound. I was worried I was going to roll but like I said, the tires didn't grab at all so it just spun like the tea cup ride at Disneyland.

    I roll AT's now.;)

    You'll be fine. Just be aware and drive accordingly.

    I'm finishing up my rear bumper. In January, the beginning of the semester, I'm making my front bumper. I'm pretty much game for whatever after that.
