Pics of New Wheels and Tires

35x12.50 BFG MT KM2s mounted on 17x8.5 Weld X-Landers. I like how it turned out.

Compared to the old 285/75/16 BFG ATs


Close Up


Front and Side. Tires don't stick out too far IMO.

Thanks guys. I really get like a kid in a candy store when I get new parts. Me and the kids just got back from cruising into town. We needed some diapers.

Wait wait wait...You went into town to get diapers...and ended up with a new set of tires and wheels?


And we wonder why women never send us shopping!

They don't have much left in them. Two of them are gone, one is cupped badly, and two have a little life left in them. I had five tires. If you are local to me you are more than welcome to check them out, just PM me.

So far I really like the KM2s. They have been much quieter than I thought they would be. Even my wife commented that the truck seems quieter now than with the cupped BFG AT. The noise level increase is very minimal from a good set of BFG ATs. So far so good. I can't wait to get them off road.
