    haha no kidding Monte, compared to this OME setup a LT probably feels like a cloud. I could definitely use some more weight to soften it up a bit more and get some more droop out of it...Oh btw now i see what you mean by KM2's sucking in the snow..

    Haha yep. I won't be getting km2's or the retreads with km2 tread pattern as long as I live near snow :rofl:.

    It was nice meeting you Josh. It looks like I have a few pics of the truck and pup that turned out alright. Ill have to wait until I get to the computer though.

    KM2's rock in deep snow. They suck on ice... Though I usually just air down to 20 psi and drive around town and have no issues on the ice.

    Haha good correction. Thats about right though, deep snow they're not so bad. As wet as the snow was today it basically turned straight to ice after being ran over a couple times. Add a hill to that and it was game over.

    I never thought they were all that bad but mainly cause i never had anything to compare them to. But after seeing Gage crawl right up with little issues i was completely unimpressed by their performance lol. They do pretty good in about everything else though i'll give them that.

    Yea the KM2s do amazing if every other situation pretty much. I guess the MTRs are supposed to do even better on trails and such. But ill find out.

    But yea much better snow tires out there. But can't beat their performance with other stuff.

    Just cruising around town KM2s do alright, i haven't had too many issues....Plus they make excellent drifting tires:cool:

    Last week driving on the interstate was horrid though, i hit a couple extremely slick stretches probably like half an hour out of Billings. We'll just say the pucker factor was very high that morning.
