    And another KM2 FTL ;)
    I've seen more ripped/blown sidewalls with KM2's than any other tire.

    For everyone painting needles I dont understand why your removing them to paint them..?

    On my ol chevy I just cut out a SMALL V in 2 pieces of paper stuck them on each side of the needle and everything but the needle is 'masked off'

    Just a thought maybe it wont work on the tacoma (I havent tried).

    I don't consider duratracs and KM2's in the same class. I wouldn't side by side compare them because they are meant for two different purposes. I've contemplated actually running duratracs. Never on my Tacoma...its purpose built. But for the Tundra after my current tires wear out. It's all about finding a tire to suite your wants/needs. The only dirt my Tundra sees is towing the toys. Duratracs are more aggressive than AT's and kick ass in the snow...and I get a lot of that up here.

    I really wanted to tell you "I told you so"...but I wont. <3


    Goodyears. Good...for about a year. Still...fuck KM2s :D

    Well don't you want your cake and to eat it too!

    Plain and simple, you're not going to find a mud tire that's going to have equally as good on-road "winter" traction. They don't exist. To be good in the mud, you sacrifice winter traction and vice-versa. Now, if by snow you mean just off road powerder...different story. Most MT's are very good at that. But I'm sure that's not what you were insinuating.

    If you must have E rated (and for the life of me I can't figure out why), I would do Toyo Open Country MT's. Full disclosure, they are heavy sum-bitches, but you won't find a stronger E rated tire. And that rock that ate your KM2 would have just scuffed the Toyo.

    The bit about the ripped sidewall is what we call a "joke." I realize my mistake though, I forgot the sarcastic font. My apologies.

    As for the Toyos...have you ever ran them? Why are you not a fan? They have all the same checkboxes you like about the KM2s...and stronger sidwalls.
