    Linwood was talking about sidewall strength being much superior on the MTRs as opposed to the KM2s. Apparently some folks have been splitting sidewalls out on the trails. John Andrews I believe was who he was talking about IIRC.

    That kevlar layer in the sidewall is a nice addition.

    Holy crap what a great tire price....until I looked at shipping 300+ no thanks!

    Good news is I don't need to hack up my front bumper to make 35s fit...thanks for the foresight.

    Does that mean the Taco will be a secondary? If so that's some good news!

    Dats a good price right there. Must do some research on the Hankooks...

    I have a slight issue with them. When I was a 16yo kid I was driving my mom's suburban with hankooks. Had a tire blow out on me on the 5 in Cali at close to 90mph and damn near rolled. Since then I never really looked at them at all. But lots of folks seem to love them.

    That is true. There is a huge tire selection in 315s. 255s were so much easier. KM2s or Cooper...

    I went from 255 km2's to treadwrights to 285 km2s to treadwrights again to mtr's, to hankooks, to mtrs where I ended up.

    Ain't no easy choice.

    Its a shame there are not more choices in 35x10.50R16. The only ones out are the Swamper SSR's and they run a little wide, more like 11" so would be perfect but still a swamper

    haha no those listed were all those that I planned on getting and changed my mind. I was about to order the hankooks when Linwood decided he wanted to go 35's so I grabbed his 285's.
