275 70 18 = 280 a tire
33 x 12.50 18 = 295 a tire
Km2's I could only find at the tire rack and they were
305 60 18 = 286
35 x 12.50 18 = 292
BUT!! they want 200 for shipping either way because they said it can only come freight to my business and I have to take them off the truck with a forklift.. they kinda pissed me off because they acted like there is no other way of shipping, but yet about ten other online tire places I called had no issues with ups ground to my house. It's not hard to take four tires off a box truck by hand. tire rack acted like they were stone that weighed a ton.

I like the Toyo, but it is over priced (from the sizes I looked at), and I don't know about the KM2, but it might be ok, but over priced also. The BFG M/T (KM1) is a good tire, but still a little pricey, and about the comment on 60K +(glad your friends buddys aunts grandson thinks so(no offense), but 45-50K is it, and believe me at 50K there won't be any grip left to pull through anything off road.
I like the Copper STT, b/c it is just like the Toyo, but in my area at least, much cheaper. They perform great in all conditions(wet roads, mud, etc...), and they last quite a while for a M/T which is about (45-50K if you take care of them).
And the A/T shouldn't be included in the catagory you've listed.
So out of the 4, the Copper STT is my vote, but I personally went with a set of Hankook M/Ts.... For $700 shipped to local tire store, mounted and balanced, it is much better than spending $280+ a tire(280x4=to much for me....over $1,000 for tires alone...).
