What a head-ache! Interco's m/t's are backed up and i just got off the phone with sears and they said the km2's are backed up for two months. I had to spend 15 minutes convincing this guy there was indeed a km2 not just a km. All this is complicated by the fact i am now in minnesota and if you ever want to get stared at like you have a blue dick growing out of your forehead just ask anyone at a tire shop around here if they have interco tires. Guess i'll have to go with something other than the trxus which is a shame because i have one brand new never mounted one in the garage waiting....waiting......waiting. less than two weeks to easter jeep safari and look for me, the tool bag on 31 a/t's.
thanks for listening though, i feel better.
 
I tried to get 265/75/16 KM2's 2 months ago, and i was told KM2's in every size are on back order.

then i tried to get Trxus in the same size with 2 different online company's, backorder

then i tried to get a set of the new(er) Kumho kl71 M/T's, Backorder..

I ended up with a brand new M/T from Federal, called the couragia M/T. super cheap, Very good in Mud/snow. soft compound but still atleast 90% tread left after 7k miles on my DD..


Their is still hardly any reviews out for this tire, but i needed some skins and for $500ish shipped i couldnt pass them up.
Even tho they are made in korea(?).. i prefer to buy american products in these hard times..

Review of them compared to Bighorns on a Rubicon

Costco can't get a km2 with a 15" rim. I tried at 3 different costcos. 2 in spokane and one in tri cities.

Where did you find these, I've been looking for some.They're made in Tiawan and I agree. I'd rather buy American, but these are about the cheapest MT's I have found .There are some decent reviews to.

I ordered some KM2's (33x12.5 r15) this morning from America's Tire company and they will be here Friday. It's weird how some areas have more issues than others getting tires.

I agree with above statement. Buy products made here in the US if at all possible.
