4 lo.
I answered in my previous comment but things get jumbled up in here sometimes haha.
I'm gonna see what it'll do in high range next time out. I've never had a problem cleaning my previous pro comp mt's in 4 lo before but they were 33s. km2's might take a little more wheel speed than my past tires and plus i'm running 35s now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well you gotta be able to pull in hi range or you'll burn up a transmission pretty quick. Haven't seen if i can with 35s yet. My trails are more tight woods and hills than mud so i usually keep it in low range, never had any problems with any other tire i've owned cleaning in lo range.

km2 is not a great tire for the mud, and in any review on them you will see that. They are a phenomenal rock crawling tire though. Thats where they get the best reviews.
They are one of my favorite tires I have ever owned. But I stay away from mud.

They may not be intended for mud, however they did just fine for me.
To me it looks like the wheels are spinning in that pic.
If he was on dry pavement and moving, they would look like drag slicks. They are moving, most cameras arent good enough to catch that much definition that quick.
