Report on KM2's

I don't think we're on the same page. According to tire rack: The Mud-Terrain T/A KM "DT" features BFGoodrich's TriGard three-ply polyester carcass construction, while a rim protector provides wheel and sidewall protection.

The KM2s are stupid quiet for a mud terrain. My tires are just as quiet as my friends 35" nitto ATs on his lifted chevy. My truck has a boatload of sound deadener in it, and my tires/exhaust sound like stock almost. Roll the windows down and its a different story
But seriously, the KM2s are damn quiet. Everyone who rides in my truck says the exact same thing: "holy chit these tires are quiet. Are you sure they are MTs?"

Yes they are MTs...And they are noisy. My Dad and Brother have bfg ATs on there 150s and they both are dead quite. Cruising at 45 in my truck and I can hardly hear the sound of my diesel. And btw personally I don't see this as a bad thing I was hoping I was going to be able to hear them I'm just kind of dumbfounded at the moment because all of the literature I've found so far is telling me the opposite if what silver is saying.

My tires are 335/55r22 found at the bottom of this list located at this link:
http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/specs...-km2/3930.html
And the tread pattern for that size clearly says KM2, perhaps this is what was throwing me off.(Very confusing IMO)
Nows heres where my information conflicts yours, these are the exact tires I bought from tirerack located at this link:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....in+T%2FA+KM+DT
It clearly states in the second paragraph that these tires do in fact include the twin steel belts and BFGoodrich's TriGard three-ply polyester carcass construction...am I interpreting this wrong?

BFG Mud Terrain KM- BFGoodrich's TriGard three-ply polyester carcass construction. You've got this tire carcass/construction
BFG Mud Terrain KM-DT- This is what you have. Similar tread pattern to the KM2 but INTERNAL tire carcass/construction is based upon the old KM model mentioned directly above. When compared to the KM2's, your sidewalls are 33% weaker, don't have the same liner flex zones, as well as a few other minor things that BFG changed when they made the KM2
BFG Mud Terrain KM2- BFGoodrich's Krawler TEK sidewalls and carcass. You don't have this tire carcass/construction, but do have a tread pattern that is similar (that part I think everyone can see )
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....in+T%2FA+KM+DT This is what you have-KM-DT-even though the TREAD looks similar to the KM2 your INTERNAL tire construction is based on the old KM model
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....rain+T%2FA+KM2 These are KM2's. Read where is says BFGoodrich's Krawler TEK sidewalls and carcass. The old KM and KM-DT (what you have), once again, DOES NOT have this or the liner flex zones of the new KM2's, as well as a few other minor things that BFG changed when they made the KM2
Does your tread look similar to mine, YES! Are your sidewalls as strong as mine, NO! Do you have the same liner flex zones, NO! Are your tires KM2's, NO! Are they KM-DT, YES! Which DOES NOT have the KM2 Krawler TEK sidewalls and carcass. What YOU have (KM-DT) is a similar KM2 tread but with the old KM sidewalls and tire carcass/construction
KM-DT (what you have) = Similar KM2 outer tread with old KM internal carcass/construction
I don't see how I can break this down any further or repeat myself
