Initial Review, 45000 Miles on Tires
January 18, 2012

This has been the third set of tires on my Jeep. I'm one of those guys that actually takes their Jeep offroad. Traction in Moab, Kansas, Oklahoma is great. Mud...great. Overall this is a MAJOR upgrade from the previous version and the wear pattern is great. I have about 45% tread left after 45,000 miles and I've just started to notice a degradation in snow traction. Having said that, it is still amazing.

This is an excellent tire for cars that have design for fast acceleration and very brain squeezing curve carving. I thoroughly enjoy these tires, impeccable resistance to hydroplaning, even standing deep puddles, awesome dry traction, the hotter the get, the stickier they get. If you have a fairly well tuned car like mine and equip it with these kdw's you can take down the backroads and just start tossing the car into mind bending curves and twisties, and the car stays on track like its on rails. The time is coming soon for new shoes for my speed3 and they will definitely be another set of these claws.....enjoy

I have had these tires now for over 30,000 miles. You can barely tell they have any wear on them!! I drive over 30,000 miles a year 95%+ highway. These are the best tires for this car. Quiet on the road, great traction. I have never slipped on any road in any weather. I do drive for the conditions, but these tires have NOT let me down. I will be putting another set of these on... whenever they wear out!

The 62,000 miles are for the front tires only on this truck. Tread depth was just measured at 8/32 during a recent oil change. I transport RV and other trailers around the country and have tried several brands of tires but am sold on the BFG's. They wear like iron and I have never had a tire failure in 400,000+ miles. Rear duals were recently replaced with 4/32 tread and 106,000 miles. The whole 'secret' to this or any tire is to find the proper tire pressure for your vehicle (not the door sticker pressure) and check it religiously. If you can't be bothered to do that, don't fault the tire.

At 27,000 miles they're about to be replaced with identical tires.....just about what I expected. Living in Florida dry and wet traction are important. They have not disappointed. Would definitely recommend these tires.

Have had multiple sets of the tires and have loved the dry traction even with a high horsepower FWD setup. My car is turbo and these tires are the only ones out there that can stick with such a skinny tread width. Nothing bad to say about these tires. Have had them through heavy and light snows, and wouldn't recommend the heavy snow unless they are a brand new set of tires.

I bought these tires after returning from Afghanistan in Sept of 2010. They still have about 75% tread left and I dog the snot out of them. I have found that they are little hard to clean if they get packed with mud or snow, but it's nothing a little wheel spin can't solve. The noise level is moderate but enjoyable. I've had them ibn Texas beach sand and they worked great and as well in Chicago snow (blizzard of 2011). I pulled out a 4" nail and pugged it right on the road side with little trouble. The sidewalls are suprisingly strong. I've hard them as low as 15psi and they never broke the bead. I plan on buying them in 37" next when these wear out in about a year.

Best tire in the snow that I have ever had on one of our commercial service vans. Will plow through snow and just dig out. When inflated properly (80 psi in front,80 in the rear), they steer and ride good. I have 40,000 on these, and they will go another 15,000 easy.

Only 25000 miles and these tires are already shot. Did rotations and still can't believe how fast these went. Never again, going back to Michelins

Initial Review, 20000 Miles on Tires
January 19, 2012

I bought an 05 wrangler Unlimited in Feb of 11, it had 33x12.50 KM2's on it when I bought it. I'm not sure how many miles on them when I bought it but they looked new-ish. I've put just over 20,000 on them since I bought it and I couldn't be happier. Here's what I voted and why; Dry Traction 10. Haven't been able to lift a tire yet, but that could be a function of the Jeep's lower power, big tires, and limited slip. Wet Traction 9 - Same as above. 5 - They don't shine very well here. We've had some ice or hardpack snow (the shiny stuff from being driven on) and the KM'2s do like to slide quite a bit, in my opinion. That's compared to some AT's I've had in the past, so take that as you will. Deep Snow Traction 10 - Of course we've been VERY low on snow this year but the first time it snowed I made it a point to try to find every drift I could to try the tires out, I was extremely surprised. 12.50" width probably helps but I found that the traction is great in the deep stuff, even at full PSI. Light Snow Traction 9- I've found that lighter snow is not QUITE as good as heavy snow, probably because of packing the snow down to a slippery hard pack like ice. Cornering Stability and Steering Responsiveness I marked N/A, because they're M/T's, not street slicks. And, They're on a lifted Jeep so both of those things ---- in general to try and judge a tire with. Ride Comfort 8 - They ride nice at about 25 PSI, any higher up towards the recommended top PSI and they get hard as a rock. Noise Level 8 - Not bad at all for an MT. Noisy when aired down past 25 but hardly noticeable over road noise (in a Jeep, mind you) at 30 PSI. Treadwear 9 - in the 20,000 miles I've put on them I neglected rotation and alignment and only had one tire go down fast. After I rotated and aligned, they stayed where they were at. Judging on the 20k I've put on, you could get 35k easy. Lots of dirt hill climbs, a little mud, many washout cracks, and some snow and I'm very impressed.

i have these tires on a highly tuned Grand Am with a sort tuned suspension and these tires are amazing. wet and dry traction are amazing. they do not do so well on dry pavement when it is very cold out, and straight up ----s in and kind of ice and snow, but hey, they are SUMMER tires afterall. and yes, they are rather loud at hiway speeds, but not too loud to hear them over the radio, wind noise or an aftermarket exhaust
(mileage posted is aprox. but they have held up pretty good)

Solid tire. Comparable to BFGoodrich AT, but for considerably less money. Hold air fine, no sidewall dents, plows through heavy snow, mud, whatever you can throw at them. Hardly any road noise. Very aggresive treads, nice squared shoulder. Works great on mid-sized suv, but I've heard people have problems with them on full-sized vehicles. After 12,000 miles, they still look like they have full tread. Side walls look a little dry around the lettering, but doesn't seem to be a problem. Highly recommended in snowy areas and people who get their truck a little muddy.

Initial Review, 4000 Miles on Tires

Has surpassed my expectations for my Lexus SUV. As quiet and comfortable, smoother, better dry cornering and snow traction, though not as good in the wet cornering and about 3-4% worse in fuel consumption. Wear is much better - didn't see anything noticeable after 4000 miles. This is compared to the twice costly OEM Michelin MXV4 S8 I've replaced. To note: Tire size (245/55/18) is 10 mm wider than what is OEM on the RX which can explain the slightly increased fuel economy (increased drag and larger rolling diameter). However, it fits without rubbing in the wheel wells and the OEM tire pressure monitors continue to work without issue. Secondly, however, installation was painfully time consuming. Two of the four tires vibrated tremendously at all speeds and was fixed after two balancing attempts and lots of weight(3.5 and 4.5 ounces each wheel). I've also found a handful of complaints about balancing issues with these specific "Spec" tires on the net. Overall, no regrets though, I would buy a set of four again in a heart beat as the cost is significantly less than the next brand.

I put these tires on my 2007 crew cab Z71 at 30,000 miles. The truck now has 77,000 miles on it, which means 47,000 miles on these tires. They have started to notch out on the sides, which is probably due to lack of air pressure monitoring. With the tires notching out up front,it has caused them to start roaring on the highway with slight steering wheel shake at lower speeds. With proper roation and pressure monitoring they would be great.

Even with my errors, these tires have last a while, 3 years / 47k miles. I fully expect to get 10k more miles out of them before purchasing more.

I also do some deer hunting with hounds which requires off road driving in less than perfect conditions. These tires perform well in sand and mud. Deep mud traversing is easily handled with maintaining a constant speed and driving straight. The most severe mud will need 4-wheel drive and possible acceleration to clean the tread and find the bottom of mud holes. Overall, they are great in mud, we are not talking about super swampers, but for the average off-roader they are great.

Overall assesment of these tires would be a 10. They are great for someone that does alot of highway driving and some off road driving. If you are on the highway all the time, get you a set of Michelins... If you are in the mud/snow all the time get your a more aggressive pattern... If you frequent both, get these tires.

These tires are astonishingly good. They are everything an SUV tire should be. I put 65,000 miles on mine and they were probably good for another 15-20K. I drove them in 14+ inch blizzards, on sand in 100-degree heat and on potholed urban pavement and they never let me down. The only small trade-off for all this excellence is that they are a bit on the noisy side, which almost an unfair criticism for an all-terrain tire. BF Goodrich really hit one out of the park with this one.

Awesome tire for the price!! Best treadwear I have seen yet. they do get a little noisy as they get closer to the wear indicators. this is not a snow tire, but it will get you around with an experience person behind the wheel. Excellent stability in dry or wet conditions. My rabbit is lowered with suspension modifications and wear on the tires has not increased since that application was installed. high quality construction and durability. The price is going up on these constantly, get them while you can as they are a great replacement for the OEM Continental's.

I had to replace the stock Dunlop's after 25,000 miles. Put these on and took a trip from Florida to upstate NY at Christmas. These tires are quieter, ride better and handle like a dream in the wet and dry. They did pretty well in the snow (1-2 inches) and through the hills of Virginia and Pennsylvania.
I am looking for some tires for my 1977 Chevy C-10 pickup I'm restoring and I think these will do the trick. Good price, great handling and looks. Hope they wear well but so far I'm impressed!
