    So far I think it's only second gen guys with OEM wheels that aren't getting rubbing.

    What's your alignment numbers? Can't be rocking stock specs with 3" taller tires. Your caster looks way to low.

    You will love them. Went wheeling last night, and out climbed 2 Cherokees. One had a 6 inch lift with 34's, and the other was stock with some 31 inch mud terrains. They were pissed I made it, and impressed that I did as well. Lmao best tire I've ever had

    Looks good! I loved my 255/85/16 cooper ST's.
    I went with the 33/10.5/15 km2's for my new tread but sometimes I wish I had the 255's

    What part of austin are you in?

    So am I, I used to live at stassney and westgate (cherry creek dr). But just moved to congress and oltorf, right near St. Eds univ. I'll keep an eye out for your nice rig.

    There's gonna be an Austin "meetup/ swap meet" next Saturday @ Trudy's On 290 south, couple miles past the Y in oak hill.

    Just came back from a long weekend in Tahoe and went through the first real snow storm of the season. My KM2's have about 32K on them and they are about 2/3's worn. They still did fantastic through the powder and ice. The temp when we left this morning was -10 and we had no issues at all! I want the ST Maxx's next, but after this experience, I may just get another set of KM2's.
