Here is the official website: http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/overview/mud-terrain-t-a-km2/3930.html
Unfortunately, at this time, these M/Ts are not available in 32" sizes for 16" and 17" rims.
But, according to above, over the next year, BFG will be offering these sizes.

A Quick Review of these M/Ts
Check this out! BF Goodrich is releasing the all new KM2 Mud Terrain in Sept and we just had the chance to see if this tire is as tough as BFG is claiming. BFG sent us down to Baja along with a mix of their engineers, marketing, and sales people, as well as a professional rock crawler and some tire dealers from around the country to test the new tire in the desert for 3 days of hard running.
What we found out was that the new KM2 is indeed one tough tire! The new tires had been mounted up on 15 of Wide Open Baja

Here are some pics of it on Jeeps:
According to the owner of the Jeep, "I hit 65-70 and road noise is less and I would say about the same as a A/t type tire. Then I cranked it up to 80-90mph and the same, no vibes, wandering...Nothing. WOWed Again.........." He also states that these new M/Ts are much quieter than the old BFG M/T.
As with most reviews, i would take these comments in stride...remember, most new owners are enthusiastic about their new tires...just have to wait until the hype is over.

Some nice pics & commentary: http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/wheels-tires/33482-new-bfg-mud-terrain-km-2-a.html
According to Rockrawler on page 2 of the link: "It is supposed to be replacing the current MTkm. I just heard some VERY disturbing news though... talking to some people who have already run them (cant mention names or how they got them, sorry) they said the sidewalls were greatly improved over previous designs, but the traction was NOTHING like the Krawler despite the similarity in tread. The reports were that they cleaned horribly in mud, traction was one of the worst tires they had ever run on dirt & rock, and I am seriously rethinking the decision to buy them. They said the old MT (the one everyone currently has) is better for traction by far, but the sidewalls have been greatly improved."
Not sure if the above info is true, but the reviews posted above kinda nullify the above quote.

A quote from the thread starter on page 3: "The tires perform excellent in the rain. There is no need to sipe this tire. The way I look at it, if BFG thought it needed sipes they would have put them in there. I have had or driven just about every tire out and I am very pleased with these tires. If you want to get real serious about rock crawling you may want to go solid axle and Krawlers. But as far as a tire that you can drive everyday and hitting the trails (rocks, mud,whatever)on the weekends this is a very good choice. Mileage should be great. If BFG redesigned a tire they did their homework before releasing it. It will do everything it says it will. Flex is good and the sidewalls are 33% stronger than the KM. Ride is great and not too loud."
