WOW!!! That is beyond bald!!!!! How did you not get arrested driving around with those??? Way to commit.Here's a pic of my BFG A/Ts with 160,000 miles on them:
That's running them bald so you can easily get more than 60,000 out of them. I know I'll probably get slammed by some on here, but these tires, which were 265/70/17s, went 160,000 miles, no joke. I normally average 140,000 miles with a set of BFG A/Ts, with regular rotation of course, so for my money these are the best wearing tires on the road. They are pricey, but you would spend 3 times the amount on Nittos, Khumos or MTs in that amount of mileage. I now have a set of 33s on the truck and they are at a little over 20,000 miles right now, they are the 3rd set of rubber I have had on the truck (189,865 on it) and the first set, which were Generals and came stock on the truck, were only on the there for about 4,500 miles before I replaced them with the Goodrich's. This is the second truck I have owned and all I put on my trucks is BFGs
Btw: that is all highway mileage accept for where I live which is alot of rural roads. I no nothing about the KM2s so I have no idea how those wear

mitch150: Those must of been an old set of bfg's. I've heard they aren't quite as durable as they once were and the tread life on them has dropped down. My step-dad had a set of bfg a/t's on his old z-71 and he had about 80k on them when he sold the truck and they still had decent tread left.

Buddy got 60k out of BFG ATs with a 3/4 ton truck. Awesome treadwear.
As for the KM2s, they definitely hum on the highway. Slightly louder than the Toyos, only slightly. As they've worn they've gotten a bit louder. You have to be religious about rotation and balance with MTs. A couple of mine are a tad cupped so the noise is significantly more than when I first got them. They still ride awesome on the pavement though, perform excellent in mud, and they look amazing all shined up.

If you get an MT without a doubt get the Toyo MTs, I been through BFG MTs, Mud Grabblers and Procomp xtreme MTs. And by far the Toyos are the best handling and riding on/offroad, they got me fairly good mileage, around 40K which is the best you can ever hope for on a MT. For sure go with a BFG if you decide to go the AT route though, sisters F150 and dads F350 have been running the same set for a good 40K on both trucks and still plenty of tread.
