KM2 question

How many of yall are running these on lifted trucks? I'm looking at 35x12.50x18 on a 6" lift. What kind of mileage have you gotten and how do they ride? Pics would be awesome. Thanks guys.

Lately there's been more and more people getting them. Of coarse when you go to a larger tire and lift you gonna loose a few mpg's, but as far as road manner their great. They have a hum inside the cab, nothing to major other than that I think they ride great. Here's a few pics, but mine are on 20's though.

I have 35x12.50x18 KM2's on a 6" BDS lift. Here are some pics. They ride great and on my truck - I have to roll down the windows to hear the hum. Right now I get around 10mpg.

Noise doesn't bother me much, I have Mud Grapplers on right now so needless to say, I've had my fair share of humming. Sorry I didn't make myself real clear, I was wondering how many miles everybody has gotten out of them. I'm getting about 12.5-13.5 mpg with the Graps right now.

i love the KM2's, great tire. i bfg would lower the price of the 35x12.50-20 (325/60) they would be the most popular 35x12.50 on the market, hands down

i am knocking down 17 mpg's on the highway, 13-14 city, but i'm running 3.55's gears and an edge.

I ordered my tires this morning from Discount Tire, $1208 and change out the door. I'm staying with 35x12.50x18 cause if I went down to 33's to lose some weight then they would look retarded. They're gonna get mounted either Friday or Monday.

I'm changing mine out this week to BFG All Terrains. I got roughly 45k on them. Would've gotten more but I didn't rotate as often as I should. The tread is still good but the tires are cupping, caused from not rotating, and have a bad vibration. Great tire, people hear you before they see you though.

How did you find that deal? The best price I could find was discount tire direct without road hazzard for $1356...then I found the $70 rebate, but $1208 is awesome pricing... Maybe I need to drive to the closest Discount Tire Store...

Go to www.discounttire.com that should be the actual website for Discount Tire/Americas Tire, then select tire size you want. Its then going to ask you for your zip so it can find you closest store. I just selected the local store that I always use. They were $289 each, but they have a discount coupon in Florida for $100 off 4 tires this Friday and Saturday only plus the $70 mail in rebate. The total price I got was without road hazzard and I got that from the fella at the store. Good luck with it.
