    My opinion is its a dumb comparison. Not sayin u r dumb. But its comparison between a "street" tire and a purely off-road tire. The km2s don't even come close to the offroad capabilities of the swampers and the swampers don't even come close to the comfort and longevity on road as the km2s. Therefore IMO its a bad comparison for choosing between the 2

    I would suggest the trxs if you want swampers. Or maybe some gt radial mts. Those ltbs look pretty aggressive for the street.

    These are what i have, and i love them! Pretty quiet on the street, balance well, good on highway traction (even on ice), killer in the mud, and cheap as they get. I think they look sick too. I only have a few thousand miles on them but so far they seem to wear really well too.

    Yeah man, I talked about it in my first post. I used to have a set on my 94 single cab and I used it as a mud toy and they tore some shit!!!! I loved them offroad! But then I wanted to drive the truck on road a lil bit more and I hated them! So from my experience they are excellent offroad but turds on road. Haha. That's the only reason I say it is a bad comparison because I have km2s currently and they are by far the best all around tire I have driven on

    it's apples to oranges for sure. that is why i suggested the ssr, more sizes available, radial, siping, lighter than ltb but heavier than km2, the km2's are light compared to a lot of off road tires, this is because they are thinner and not as beefy, which translates to less durable off road but maybe slightly better fuel economy, which is obviously not a concern going with 35's. sounds like you might want to research some more. the trxus is a nice tire too, not as stout as the ssr, a bit more siping, only 2 ply side wall, same weight range as km2, probably just about the same when it comes to toughness on the trails as km2 but will outperform in slick conditions due to siping. anyway................

    my buddy's have had ss ive road in a truck with almost every type and the m16 are by far the best imo better on the road and still get it off road. never ben in one with smaller rims then 22's or 24's tho. but they are still a very aggressive tire and go past my toyo rough countrys
