Seems they changed the radials design from the ones i had. The ones i had were terrible, those might be alright. I'm gonna say go with the General grabber at2's as well, they look pretty aggressive in person and supposedly last for a long while.

For the KM2's

I can't seem to find the KM2's for anything less than $200 a piece or right around their, I do like the general grabbers, seem a little more road friendly, where's as the bf Goodrich's seem like something I'd wanna get when my cherokee's my mud truck (as soon as I get another DD, which is also why I want tires on a budget for now, gonna splurge later)

How bout treadwright guard dogs? Look mean and have great reviews. Plus they're retreads so they're cheap. I think theyre about 120$ a tire. Thats what I'm saving up for anyway, that and a 5" long arm kit but ehhh no money.
