just wondering about the bfg km2
I have a 93cherokee and I'm lifting it 4.5 inches and I'm looking to buy a set of the 33x10.5 km2's. While on line the specs say they have a nice comfort level in ride and noise but I just talked to a guy at the tire store that said they are really loud on the road. He said he runs them on his f250 super duty and the noise level is horrible. My problem is that ?I want an aggressive tire but not a lot of road noise, can anyone tell me if there is such a thing that is reasonably priced. I know that the swampers aren't that bad but thats not what I'm looking for now. Thanks in advance.

I rode in my buddy's XJ doorless a while back with 35s and they weren't bad at all. My Mickey Thompson MTZs are louder. I've yet to run a swamper that wasn't loud. KM2s grip really well in the rocks too.

my kumho's look mean as hell, they do great in the mud, and I only hear them when coming up to a stop sign. Even then I barely hear them, don't hear em at all any other time.

The heavier the vehicle the louder the tire typically. so it makes sense that they are loud on a f250. I had a customers pathfinder on them and I diddnt think they were bad at all. not even really noticeable as a mud tire going down the road in my opinion.
and I drove a f350 one day with the older bfg M/T's and it was horrible

Thanks to all that replied, your opinion is valued and I think I'm going to be buying them soon when I have the extra cash. Hope fully there are other replies also.

or you could try the BFG T/A KO tires... they are fairly aggressive and dont really make a sound.

They are realy road queen tires....
Not worth the price in my opinion. I have seen a few sets and they dont handle all that well. I have only seen one set handle well ever

i thought they handled decient in the snow. i live in michigan so we get 15 to 18 inches of snow all the time. not at once though. then again im also in high school and cant afford to break anything yet. and the fact that my cousin works at discount tire so $110 a tire out the door is about the highest ill pay for any kind of tire.

Well as soon as I put a new motor in my wifes jeep I'm gonna start playing in the woods again, so I need something that will help out in the mud and rocks. Thats why I'm looking at the KM2's
