Buckshots last forever. Best bang for the buck. Also a good tire is the Federal MT.

I got 70,000 miles out of a set of 33" buckshots. They were rotated every 3,000 miles and air presure checked regularly. They were slick when I took them off but they made it that far.

i really like my **** cepek crushers. plus i never see anyone else with them. they are killer in the mud and have a nice sing to them on the highway. probably get about 35k out of them.plus i love the skull and crossbone sidebiters. and the tread looks like bones.and if you want to air them down to 10lbs you can.

They are good off road (buckshots) they may not be as aggressive as others but they work good.

These were on a truck I test drove back in 07 before I bought my truck. They were Wild Country RTV's. They were their version of a mud tire. They whined like noone's business LOL I don't believe they make them anymore tho. But they do make a mud tire (the MTX) and an all terrain (the XTX). I have the XTX on my 05 and they are awesome tires.

LOL yeah they were definitely cool looking. Unfortunately, I don't know about the tread life though.

yeah, tires definitely can be expensive. The 34's on my truck are on 20's and they were $1200. The XTX's on the 05 are 33's on 17's and they were 1100.

Yea, I wish I could fit 15s... Life would be easy... But yea I think 34x12.50 maybe 13 would be just fine:) leaves more room to flex:D

Yea my bud got 62k out of his km2 that why I am leaning towards them but I still want something other that them

BFG wear better than any other tire I have tried and yeah they cost a lot and require consistent rotation but I expect at least 60 and do not have to pray for it. I have never owned MUDs. I always get all terrain but if KM2 last even close to what mine do then that would be great tire.
Toyo is usually my second choice when I can't get right size to BFG on. Only happened to me once but I did like the Toyo.

Dude I got the trail grapplers last April and love the heck out of them. They are not very noisy on the highway either for a mud tire, every other tire I have every heard is much louder than the NITTO unless you go with a less aggressive lug pattern. As far as wear goes they are awesome also, but that goes with out saying that if you don't rotate and balance often they will wear faster. I rotate every 3000 miles and balance ever other, a buddy of mine has the same tires and he does both ever 3000 miles and our trucks have pretty close to the same tread life on them. Post pics with what ever you buy... Good luck
