I don't know how to make a poll so I started a thread....

Want votes and/or opinions on my tire choice for my 2010 TE.

BF Goodrich M/T km2 ......or..... Toyo Open Country MT

Keeping stock 265/70 17's size and they would cost me the same.

I'm a fan of Toyo MT's.......but KM2's are equally as nice. All comes down to what pattern design you prefer because both are PROVEN tires in the off-road arena.
 
I vote YES for tires........ :D

I don't have any experience with M/T tires, but have read very good reviews concerning the Toyos. One magazine review likened the Toyo MTs to setting a new standard like the BFG did for A/Ts.
 
I have not had the BFGs, but I went through two pairs of Toyo MTs on my 3/4 dodge. The Toyos are great tires. My Dodge has a 1100 pound Motor up front, and I was able to get 50,000 miles out of the first set and 45,000 out of the second set. I am pretty sure that you can only get the Toyos in E rating, not that it is a bad thing. They perform really well off road, but I was really impressed with the snow traction. The downside is the price. I just priced a set of 265/70/17s at Les Schwabe. The quote was a little over $1,400. I think you can get the BFGs at Costco for $1,000 or less.

Are the toyos quieter on street? They look better!

I have a couple pics of trails from other members who are running them. I will post later.
 
Toyo's for sure!!!! They are great tires, had a set a couple years ago. I would look into Nitto Trail Grappler's as well. That is what I am running now and I love them. They are wearing very well, and are very quiet on the street!!
 
Another tire you should look at are the Goodyear Duratracs.

X2 on duratracs. But if I didn't have to worry about snow I would probably go for the General grabber red letters... they look kick a$$ IMO

Km2

The KM2 are like motocross tires for your truck. They hook up like crazy in rocks, mud, clay, sand, ... didn't go in any snow.

Have about 20K on mine, looks like they will make 30K, but not much more.

You can hear them ... but then all MT are loud.

They look pretty cool too.

I vote for the KM2's also for a great all around offroad tire. They really excel in rocks and the rough stuff though even though they are listed as mud tires!

If your wheelin down in Louisiana though ,mud will probably be your main concern . Here is a recent article from 4Wheeler magazine with the mud tire shoot out............Hankook MT's ruled.Mud Tire Shoot Out

only 30k?! Wow. I have around 25k on my ATZ's and I have at least another 25k left on them and I drive rough on them.

MTZ's or ATZ's?ATZ's are all-terrain and not mud terrain. BFG AT's get well over 50k miles too. I have 20k miles on my KM2's and they are less then half worn.

I have seen 45-50K from BFG AT(3x), 40K from ProComp XAT(2X). I rotate them every 3-5K, but these aren't going to make 40K.

They are; however, by-far the best all-round offroad tire I have run. In mud and clay they don't load up, seem to grab rocks and don't spin in sand.

Definitely going to buy another set.
