Hi yall, i am in the market 4 tires. I was slowly shopping and today i cut a tire pretty bad out on the trail. so now my need for new ones just got moved higher up on the priority list. I have bfg km now. i wish i could get them but i cant. so what im debating between is the km2 or the goodyear mtr w kevlar. or possibly something else. mostly o=i play on the rocks and mud. but i do a lot of highway driving too. any thoughts or opinions will be greatly appreciated.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Trxus Mud Terrian. I've never ran them but it might be worth looking into.

I am actually in the market for tires too. I am on a pretty limited budget and have been looking at the Kumho road venture KL78's. The tread looks somewhat aggressive and I have heard others say they are a decent tire.

Tire threads are like oil threads, you gonna get a ton of different answers!! Best of luck!! BTW, I have heard very good "first hand" things about the MTR+K on another board...

Like Cos said jonny, tire threads are like oil threads.
Some people like walmart, others swear by royal purple.
I think that it comes down to personal preference, and I am willing to bet, just like shocks, there are more brands than there are manufactures.
