I'm not angry at all I was wondering the same about everyone else. I tried to share my opinion and observations and everyone got panty bunched and started with smart *** comments. Thought it was pretty funny actually. Everyone gets so defense if you dare question the perfection of something they have or like.

i personally love bfgoodrich but in my mind am having the whole km2 or mtr kevlar battle...am kind of favoring km2's right now...ps my previous tires from my old jeep are pro-comp m/t's and i was not a fan
X 2 I have equal in my 37s and they are kevlars and haven't been stuck yet

I hear ya bud, we are all entitled to an opinion and quite frankly I believe them all to be valued. Good or bad. Helps aid in a decision.

damn now i really cant decide lol.

my girl has the MTRs on her JK and over 33k miles later they are just about half-worn, they do damn good for a 255/75/17 tire, and ive think they drive on the road awesome...but im torn, because the BFGs look so much more badass.

What's all this talk about Kevlars, honestly, do your tires need to be bullet proof?

Common man.. just open a recent issue of any off road magazine on the market... all you'll see is MTRs... Can you say marketing campaign?

Everywhere I go, somebody tells me how well my tires are cleaning out. Listen, I have owned both, MT/R's(old and new) and BFGoodrich(KM2's, and kM's). And I prefer the Kevlar's in every category.
