Tyre Topic - BFG Mud Terrain

[BOOSTED GQ]

I think some peaple are getting riped off I paid $250 for 33x12.5x15 tyre fitted balanced about 12 months ago but I will admit I found a tyre joint that would sell them for cash as in the owner put the money in his pocket. It my second set of KM's last set were 32s got around 80k out of them and still sold 2 of them thay seem to get good life and thay perform on and off road I love them never had a flat touch wood, did pop a bead of when I sliped side ways into a rut at 18 psi but you cant blame the tyre for that.

there was a price rise in November due to the $$ being so bad.. now that its up again, prices should fall.. and all pigs are fed and ready to fly.

yeah if anyone can get them for 250 each go buy 40 of them for me.

I'd try shoehorning some 15inch rims on mine too at that price!

Here is a pic of my km2's in action. I got hung up by the front diff so I tried to rock out of it but once she stopped moving the tyres grabbed what was left under them and threw it skywards! No I didnt sit there trying to move digging holes either, just the pic was taken at a perfect moment



If only I had my locker in when this pic was taken.

All the same, i still cant fault the km2's. I was on some loose shaley rock yesterday an d at 40 psi they broke loose a little, as you would expect but once put down to 22psi they grabbed traction everywhere they were pointed!

I still say theyre the best tyre I have ever owned!

[weeman]

hey anyone got some prices on the KM2 in a 315/75/16..

The dollar has been getting better however have the prices changed best i can get is $418.... that wasnt wide tread either they were about $425

prefer in melb....

[weeman]

Well im think im going to get some of the KM2 best price is still $418 per tyre anyone got anything better?

[SIM79]

Any more feedback on the KM2?

[YOGI001]

I am running 35x12.5x15 KM2's on my 4 inch lifted 80 series and they are just incredible.

They have more on road manners in my opinion than my mates MTZ's and MTR's, Leaves them for dead offroad and are only just behind the claw in mud when your talking about a Radial type M/T.

I picked mine up for $382 per tyre from JAX QUICK FIT TYRES in ST MARY'S NSW

Highly recomended!!! You wil not regret!!!

[viperguy]

picked up a set of the km2's yesterday after a very dissapointing run with the mtz's. aaa tyres in guildford sydney can do awsum prices on these tyres. call them for a quote you will be pleasently surprised.

[Ferwoaza]

I've got 265 KM2's on the hilux (06 DC). Offroad, complete weapons, no problems at any pressure above 18 (haven't had a need to go lower).

On road they are a bit different. In the wet they are "interesting". I've gone straight through roundabouts at full lock, and a squirt of juice sees the back end come out. And I find they are very noisy, the missus can't use her Iphone when we are driving...with the windows up!

And this sucker aint light, front bar, dual battery, kaymar rear bar, long range tank, canopy etc...

But they do look the goods and are wearing brilliantly

i was sure (not that i could be bothered looking) that you couldn't get the KM2's in a 35 x12.50 x15? you sure their not the 'KM1's'?

[ferrit]

just did a drive from adelaide to canberra including a nice fast mountain gravel road section, and they have confirmed that they are an awesome tyre.

I got told 40psi on road, and i think its a bit hard, but i'll see how i go.

On fast gravel, 34psi hot seems perfect for my truck, they grip, steer and handle really well.

[Jimbo]

How are they wearing??

[ferrit]

so far done about 1400kms on them, and ive JUST worn the injection moulding nubbins off!

[Wozza244]

How is the price going on the 33x12.5x15" these days has it come down at all? I got a quote 4 months ago and it was $458 per tyre supplied from my local Tyrepower. Im nearly ready to shell out and get a set in a month or so and chose to steer clear of the MTZ and go the KM2's.

[YOGI001]

Considering the bfg Australia website says they do and I have 15 x 8 inch rims and my tyre says KM2 and they are the similar Krawlar pattern then I say otherwise. Might pay to do some research first mate!!!

i paid $355 each for 285/75R16LT KM2's bout 3 weeks ago, but also got a set of AT's fitted to a prado at the same time, so we got a good price. On average $375-385 each.

Just got back from the east coast today- had some MASSIVE rain storms around Ouyen and Manangatang- couldnt see anything and was driving through 2-3" deep standing water for a few hundred meters at around 60kph.

No signs of hydroplaning, still drove straight and true and didnt pull and steered and stopped bloody well for the conditions!

The trailer on its Dunlop Car tyres... Not so good

[slowhilux]

I paid $435 each for 5 x 315/75/16 KM2's back in October 09 in WA. Since then i have put just over 10,000km on them. After running 2 sets of the KM's, each lasting over 65,000km on a 3t 80 series, i can tell that the KM2's are a better tire, in every respect and terrain!

[88pajero]

Ive done some 17000 ks on my km2s now and even with the weight of the troopy they have worn very minimal. I covered most terrains and as far as traction goes they really do a brilliant job. I did manage to slice a sidewall at donolleys creek over easter but I was going up a very shailey track with a lot of dead timber all over the track.... Unsure what sliced it but when I was part way up the track I did say to the missus "well be lucky to make it to the top without puncturing a tyre"

no worries, i probably looked in earlier days before they released more sizes, mate!!

[luk3y]

ive just got some km 2s (33x12.5r15) for $365 each fitted and balanced at bob jane which is pretty good considering i got a quote they other day for $440 a tire.
yet to drive on them as they are getting fitted on saturday but if the km1s are anything to go off they should be good.

[-Scott-]

With the Aussie dollar looking good against the US, have tyre prices come down at all?

[ANDREWGQ 351]

i have been looking very hard to get a set of these and there are only 2 in Vic that i could find, 4 in dubbo and 4 in launceston. No one can order them and the stockist doesnt know when they will be getting any more
price has been $345- $385

[ANDREWGQ 351]

sorry this is for 33x12.5x15 km2's

[Red Dog 4x4]

I had to wait 4 weeks before i got mine 33x12.5x15 for 5 of them only done 1500km on them so far but very pleased with them so far

[just cruizin']

quote today on 285/75R16 $570 when asking for 6 tyres, almost fell off my chair

[ferrit]

Holy crap that steep!!!

Would be cheaper to buy off tirerack.com from the US and get them shipped over than that!

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... &tab=Sizes" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

With the US dollar crapped out, its a pretty viable proposition, even if you had to wait a month or so for surface freight!

As for mine, they've transfered from the hilux to the TD 100 series now, and seem to be holding up. Coming up on 20,000kms, 90% tar driving, and ive got between 11 and 12mm tread left. For comparison, the MTZ's i had before the KM2's were down to 5mm of tread by this stage...

Only damage i have is one tyre with a few chips in it from being stuffed into the rear of the wheel arch on the hilux, and one rock cut in the sidewall since they went on the cruiser, but the cut hasnt gone past the white rubber layer!

[spamwell]

i need to know how loud these puppies are, i am trying to choose between these and 4 rib atz's and these, if they are rough and loud i don't think i want them.

[alien]

mine are super quiet - but my last tyres were simex ETs so im probably tone deaf now.
