There's many a neutral reviews on that site.

I'll assume you're referring to putting them on a Jeep.

My vote, is that there are better tires out there for similar money. The Goodyear MT/R (new one w/ Kevlar) would be my choice. The KM2 seems to do great on the tow rig/full size truck type use, but I have simply seen them not perform as well as the MT/R's in mud, snow, and rocks.

I have heard many reports of those clogging more than the KM2's. They looked like they held up pretty well when we did Naches in the rainy slop a couple months back though.

where are you getting this info about MTR's clogging?

I've had my KM2's for a full year now, and have ~17,000 miles on them. I've wheeled on them for the past year, and have no real big complaints about them. They have their strengths and weaknesses just like any other tire. For a daily driver that sees 200 miles a week, and a weekend trail runner I think they are a great tire.

Would I buy them again, probably not. Would I trade them for MTR's, probably not.

the only time i have had my mtrs clog up was in the clay type mud. but every tire clogs in that. the tread clears out pretty easily also. they are a great on road tire too. i used to drive about 50 miles a day on them and they were awesome

Back to back, the MT/R w/ Kevlar has out performed the KM2 in virtually every condition. Slick rock (Moab) the KM2 has an edge because of the flatter, wider layout of the tread; it's the deep voids on the MT/R that hurt it in those conditions that benefit it in the PNW.

I do like my MT/r Kevlars and would recommend them to anyone. I have a buddy with KM2's and while he is happy with them, he did say that he would definitely not buy them again.

Mainly word of mouth, I have no personal experience with either one though. I'm still running the old BFG mud terrains, LOL.

I have seen with my own eyes numerous times the new mtr's get much more traction in mud and snow then my km2. don't waste your money make a inform decision. I also think the new mtr's have a thicker sidewall.

Goodyear says the new MT/R has a 30% stronger sidewalk than the old one.

Also, the GY's are vastly better in the snow.
