Idaho BS thread in the PNW

yea i have loved my KM2s. Buy you know a new version is due out soon. Just makes ya wonder what they will change. I mean the KM2s are like..6 years old? maybe 7..

so are the MTR Ks. I wouldn't be surprised if a new batch of MTs and ATs showed up in the next year or two.

yea thats seems fair..i mean..if your paying for the 33s..need something to make sure he won't flake..or make him pay for the 33s up front and you'll refund the money once you get the 35s?

 

or i go and pay him for the 35s, take those then he buys the 33s from me when I get back? something before i leave moral of the story


i get 2 35s when i leave and 2 when i get back

 

hmm..good point..or a PS..haha

if you can afford that..haha i know ill want mula pretty soon after..i can wait a bit..but not long.

 

im not a douche haha. i wouldnt expect you to haul the tires out without me paying you. set up a pay pal if you dont have one, and ill wire it before you leave.

like i said, i just need some more pics when you return to make sure he is still 100%

think its a mix of both.

 

eh, only the outer tread looks like the rugged tread..then the out side walls the KMs and inner tread is ATs..

but ya who knows wtf it is..

i haz paypal

well it'll work out..

i just hope your guy follows through. be sweet to get 35s!

 

i know dude

we will be twinsies...itll be fucking sick gnar

 

my buddy with a stanced integra was making fun of me, saying how with my 4cyl and 35s his car will be a more practical DD than my truck. Of course I mentioned how he gets stuck leaving parking lots with steep driveways, and that my impractical DD will be able to literally drive over his car.

impractical my ass

 

hells yea!

35s FTW!

im going to enjoy watching you tube as well...haha

silly honda boy..

 

im going to enjoy tubeing as well

 

brah, 4lo solves everything

 

You guys never had the pleasure of wheeling with the original KMs. IMO, KM2s are a step down from KMs with regards off road performance.

To me it seems like change for change sake is a mistake.

 

Yea every review I read said the KMs were better. Lasted way longer.

 

That is one of the better ones that I have seen from that spot.

Yup. Looking south from Queen Anne hill. Iconic Seattle city portrait.

If you are referencing mileage/wear, this is only marginally true. If you are refferencing how long KMs were sold compared to how long KM2s have been sold so far, this is true.

 

i read guys were getting 50-60k out of their KMs and 30-40k out of KM2s..

but who knows. haha all i know is im leaving my BFG family

 

Indeed. The originals were tits, in lots of different conditions.

 

yea..but your not getting new ones..so..still stupid.

plus too small size.

 

Haha i wouldn't bank on being about to get new ones for much longer..im sure they are on their last legs of production.

 

yea i know..not gonna be forever though.

 

I would not be surprised to see the original KM design offered in a greater number of sizes in the future. But what do I know.

Even though KM2 are still better than most of the other available options, it seems like the KM2 experiment was not nearly as successful as they would have hoped. If I was a Michelin executive (yes Michelin) with the power to decide, I would be looking closely at the continued success of the original design.

It really depends on what the competition does. So far that doesn't amount to much.

 

Yea but the KM2s are still VERY profitable. Still one of the most popular offroad tires on the market.

from a market stand point make a slightly inferior tire, but still very good, mean..more tires sold..thus more profit. if the KM2s don't last as long but people still love em and buy em..more profit.
