Default Which Tires?

I am looking for 35" mud tires for my truck but havent bought mud tires before. I need something that goes pretty good in mud, but really lookin for some that are good on the road. I have been lookin at the BFGoodrich MT KM2, anybody have any comments on those?

Check out Cooper Discoverer STT's. Awesome tire. Alot better priced than Toyo's or BFG's.

I used to run the old bfg mt's and loved them. Some friends run the new style and they love em. I was impressed with the km2's last winter on my friends truck. Besides, at a 180 a tire I don't see the downside of trying them out.....I would.

There is a reason why Cooper is ALOT cheaper than Toyo /BFG
Cheap is not good & good is not cheap

Google tire recall & look at Coopers list of recalls Just remember all thier truck tire line starts with the same green casing

Well not everyone has $1000.00 + to drop on Toyo's that wear like ****. I've run Toyo's, BFG's, Coopers, and goodyears and bang for the buck you cant beat the STT's.

I'm going to agree with dieseldoc, my Toyo's cost me $2400 and didn't last me 15k miles, my 38.5x14.50R20 procomp extreme a/t's cost half that and have a 40,000 mile warranty so really i don't care if they only last 10k still a better deal than toyo's. oh and i never did a burn out with the M/T's on they just wear awful and they cost an arm and a leg

I relly like my Kumho mts so far. Almost 10k on them and they look like new, even with all the tire smoke.

Agree----But when these tires come apart with littel or no warning the $$ that you saved yesterday will cost you more tommorow... damage to your truck alone will absorb the savings & hopefully nobody gets hurt
I have been in the tire business over 25 yrs seen alot...a buddy of mine who also is somewhat in the tire industry experenced tire failure at 75mph on his f-250 he was lucky to walk away limping & the truck went to the salvage yard... I had this same exact discussion with him a 18 mo ago on another board. I will be glad to foward all imformation to anyone
Unless you want to get rid of EX WIFE (LOL) avoid Coopers
