the mud terrains take a good amount of maintenance, they gotta be rotated every three thousand miles and such. so if you plan on doing a good amount of paved driving theyll get on your nerves and such. already cant wait to replace mine ( already getting loud ) at your first chance get some ta-ko's on there.
oh and welcome and :worthless

Do you have the km2 mud terrains? I had them on my Jeep Wrangler and they were as quiet at the BFG all terrains they replaced and wore very nice. The old style BFG mud terrains were noisy. I wanted a noisey tire on my Wrangler (its a Jeep thing) and was disappointed as to how quiet the km2 was.

Id like to know as well. First I heard this about KM2's, actually did not know about the rotation frequency either.

yep have had them on since i bought the truck. i heard they were a little noisier than the ta-ko's but they are alot louder in reality, bu they still aren't as loud as the pro-comp extreme at's i had before. im not saying they are bad tires but if you plan to do alot of on-road driving they require alot of maintenance and a a good amount louder than the ta-ko's (which i had on my f-150 for at least 4 years ) and needless to say i prefer the ta-ko's alot more.

I think the reason people keep wondering,myself included after you mentioned how loud you thought they were, which BFG mud terrains you have, because your signature just list BFG MT's and there are 2 different BFG MT's . The older ones were KM's and were discontinued a couple of years ago but can still be found in some sizes ,old stock, and were/are quite loud even when new. The newer ones are KM2's .
IMO...The newer ones , BFG MT KM2's and are not
much louder,if at all then BFG TA KO's as I've had both on the truck. The KM2's did starting getting noticeably louder after they were more then 50% worn down at 25k miles.
Since you say they are the KM2's ,what air pressure are you running in them?

BTW, thats seven days later than the shipping co. originally said it would take. Very frustrating. Has anyone had a similar experience? The dealership said that they want to keep adding vehicles along the way from their commercial accounts and the little pee-on individuals shipping clients get the short end of the stick.
