this is the kinda thread where everyone says the tire they run is what you should go with.
personally any MODERN mud terrain is a good bet.

Intercos for mud only. Everything else, I love my KM2s.

I'm not a fan of my Pro Comp Mud Terrains. Liked the Cooper Futura Enforcers I had. Wore good, had decent traction. Bridgestone Dueler MTs, wore out too fast. Dunlop Mud Rovers? Lateral traction didn't seem very good and they wore funny too. Had BFG ATs for a short time, got the used for free and for what little tread was left, they did good. Buddy ran old style MTRs and got lots of punctured sidewalls. He now runs the same Pro Comps I do and seems to like them, so go figure.

My choices are Goodyear MT/R Kevlar (currently have 'em), Interco TrXus MT (Had 'em), and an agressive AT in the Cooper S/T(had 'em).
Also, any BFG, MickeyT, Toyo...etc
What width are you looking at, cause that could change your options?-B

your BEST BET would be to go to your local dealers and see what everyone carries. get prices and try to pit them against each other. often times reputable shops will be willing to beat a competitors price.
rim size and lift size are a factor, as well as backspacing. consider your primary use for the vehicle... DD, trail rig, mud truck, rock crawler, etc... and then post specific questions about what you find. we will be of MUCH more help that way.

If I had the money, the new mtr's would be my choice.

Don't rule out Maxxis Bighorns, similar tread pattern to the old MTR's and I've put about 40k freeway miles on them with even treadwear and no cupping. I had them siped and they've worked well on slickrock, sand and loose rocks/shale....fwiw.

Do you ever drive in the snow? If so, stay away from the KM2s.
I've put 30K on them and for every condition other than snow they have been exceptional.
Snow is another story. They have personally tried to kill me three different times. The first two I thought maybe it was my crappy driving but the last time I was with three other Jeeps. The only two with KM2s had the same problem. Going down hill if there is any type of side hill at all they will uncontrollably send you downhill.

Goodyear offers a price match guarantee for goodyear, dunlop, and kelly tires. We will match ANY competitor's price on 3 conditions...you must have a computer generated estimate (not written on a business card), the competitor must have them in stock (sure I can sell you those tires for $85 a piece...oh but I don't have them, I'll have to order them and the price may change) and last, when matching from tire rack or any other internet site, you must calculate the shipping and the tire as the per tire price.
