whats the best mud tire in the snow?

i was just on a camping trip in the sierras - did about 50 miles of snow covered trail and my mickey Thompson baja MTZ's did great

 

KM2's do amazing in deep snow! They can dig like crazy! It's plowed icy roads that people say they suck on but I haven't had them even falter so far on icy roads. Handle just as well as any other tire I have driven on icy roads.

 

interco ssr or interco trxus, experienced both in cold icy slushy winter conditions on daily drivers. for the haters or unaware, these are radial tires that drive great!

 

Duratracs first time in the snow. We got 9 inches overnight and it's still snowing hard. So far they are awesome for go, stop and steer.

 

and how are they lasting when you run all year. how long have you had them and how many miles do you expect out of them?

thanks

 

I have roughly 30k on my Duratracs which see majority highway miles and they are wearing pretty well. I think they have good life left in them.

 

A lot of good reports in Nova Scotia on these

My Open Country MT have worked wonderfully going to and from our family's mountain house in Tahoe. Certainly a quantum leap over the Dungflops.

Here's a couple pics of tread pattern, sorry none in snow.

 

This is my first winter with KM2's and I have to agree with others they don't seem great so far on slushy/icy roads. We have had a couple one inch coatings of snow followed by rain. Take a turn from a stop or accelerate a little on a tight turn and I'm spinning a wheel if I'm not real gentle about it.

 

I got 38,000+miles on my last set. There was room for another 5000 or so, but not in the snow. I do rotate every 3000miles and I pay attention to psi. (38-40).

Realistically, I think 40,000 to 45,000 would be pretty good for them. I've read that others have gotten more out of them, and less. I am very happy with them all around...I even bought a new set of them a few weeks back.
Load range D is what mine are!

Good luck with yours...

 

mileage wise on my firestone MTS i have roughly 61,000 on them. they have at least another 10k on them and the 2 ft of snow last night they worked as if they were brand new. best mt tire i have had

 

i know this is an old thread but what size tires did you have an suspension set up????
Im looking at getting these and have a 3inch ready lift and wondering how big i can go with out problems rubbing... thanks for any help you have

 

I run 285/70/17 on a 17x9 wheel with 4.5" of back spacing. I do have rubbing at full lock! An 8" wide wheel would be a much better choice, with the same back spacing.

Originally, I ran the 285 on the factory wheel with a lot less rubbing. I used 1.25" spacers to keep the tire off the UCA.

Before I stepped up to the 285s, I had 265/70/17 on factory wheels, no spacers, with a 2" coil spacer and an AAL with no rubbing at all!

I'll be in Fairport this afternoon if you are around the area, pm me if you want to meet up!

 

I really liked how the original BFG KM's worked myself. Too bad they stopped making them, the KM2's aren't nearly as good in the snow.

 

shit bro it'd be cool to meet up but I'm currently on the road out in California fixing to get a load back to NY to come home for a few days. any good trails to run? a friend of mine with a lifted 06 tundra and i are trying to figure out a few mud holes to rip through.

 

whats your suspension set up with these 35in tires. looks good
