Then look at this
second tire from the top of the list
should fit on your OE wheels with little rub if you are running a good lift
Just trying to help
I have seen a few rigs running these tires and if you are not scared to air down ,12 psi, then these are great tires
and they all claim quieter than ,MTR ,BFG MT and Truxs on the highway

Nope
better
Look like Krawlers but tighter lugs and sipped
I have seen them in rocks/dirt/mud mix as well as hard dirt and mud and they did well
now granted they were all the 35"ers on 16" rims and running about 12 psi but still did well
Just need to run them at low psi on the trails

Those are the KM2s right, the same tire the guys used on the ultimate JK? Heard good and bad about them. The JK rubicons have a special edition BFG KM that only comes on the rubicons. You can't get them in a store. The KM2s come in very limited tire sizes and BFG was supposed to expand their sizes but I haven't heard if they did or not. I wanted them but they are $$$ and I didn't want to wait only to see they didn't expand the sizes to a size I wanted anyway.

They are a bit pricey but about $11 cheaper than an MT/R in the same size. Heavy, too. The KM2 weighs in at 52 pounds to the MT/R's 47.

IMO better than an MTR but only slightly
also you get what you pay for
also said to be quieter than the MTR

30.8" tall is about as tall as I would want to go on a KJ. Although, I’ve always said that 4:10’s would be helpful for anything over a 30” tire, especially due to the low-end torque.
