I have 35" Km2's on my 80 and I think they are brilland in the hard and are reasonably well behaved on the blacktop.
Have a mate who runs buckshots on his MQ and they seem to be good as well.
I don't think you will flaw either way, I'm just a BF man.

yeah same.. except the mob round the corner from me Jandicot tires or what ever price match to save me the trip..
i found my big horns don't make much road noise if the pressure is right... 36-8ish (hot) and only ever put holes in the side walls which were way to big to fix.. tree trunks and rocks tend to do that...
also for beach work they tend to pop beads at anything lower then 15.. where as the old bfg a/t's (only other tyre i have owned) could hold on forever at 10 psi no worries.. don't usually go that low but sometimes down south u need it.
probably doesn't help you make up your mind, but still thought i'd mention it...

Any reports on the Bighorn 764's yet?
Still tossing up which way to go, might just wait 'til after summer to buy a new set of muddies. The bighorns should be more available then.
Also would like to add that I am amazed at how well the KM2's work and behave (on a friends '08 hilux). So quiet on road for a tyre that ain't too bad off road.
