I'm a service writer at a tire shop I've been working around tires for 8 or so years I can tell you that most companys will not give you a mileage warranty on a M/T because of intended offroad use an softer compounds to help them be stickier for rocks . But on AVG they usually get 30-45K depending on how they are taken care of

google doesn't work when you're not at home? you really thought posting on a forum and waiting for responses would've been faster? spending 5 minutes reading yourself would've already gotten your answer

No, I was on my way into a restaurant when I posted it, and its rude to be looking at your phone when seeing family you havnt seen in a while, plus whats it to you? You dont like replying to peoples questions then dont. Dont give me a hard time because you read and replied to something that you thought was a dumb question.

I have the kms and the km2s. By the tread pattern id say the originals would last longer. Id say you can Prolly get about 40k out of the km2. If you do a lot if street driving with just weekend wheeling id go with all terrains.

I dd with 33 KM1, I bought them used so idk how many miles were already on them but they were virtually new. I've put about 10-15K on them and havent worn much but I'm going to sell them cause they suck in snow and wet/slightly muddy rocks
