Maybe i've just got bad luck with km2's in mud. It's only been 1 trip but from it i can say they've been the worst m/t tire that i've owned, and i've owned a lot of tires. They have great street manners, i have 33x10.5 km2's on my daily driver. I will probably put them up for sale after my next uwharrie trip. It wouldn't be so bad if all the trails close to me weren't mud, hills, and vallies.

I was doing some really thick clay-mud a few weeks ago, they preformed amazingly!
I got more vids than pics, but here is one of the better pics...

Don't get me wrong, they cleaned out....eventually lol. I had to really almost kill my jeep in a lot of spots though. Idk, since you guys are giving a lot of positive feedback from them, i'll play around with the tire pressures a little and give them some time to wear a little and see if they improve at all. I appreciate all the imput so far.

Yeah i'm gonna play around with the tire pressures. I was in 4 low, i didn't even put it in 4 hi, i guess i should see if i can even pull all 4 in hi range. A buddy of mine said i should groove them, which i'm actually considering lol.

Believe it or not I had one at the beginning of that day. There was nothing keeping it attached except gravity though.
Bingo. It wouldnt be hanging so low but the bolts holding the down pipe to the manifold are so rusted the threads are literally gone. One bolt wont even thread, and the other is hanging by fractions of a fraction of an inch.
I've been too lazy to pull the manifold off my parts truck. And the o2 sensor is in the manifold, so not too much of a concern.
I'm curious if the OP used 4lo or 4hi...
