Just seen this on another forum. I reckon they look cool! Not real chunky for a mud terrain but.
Seems they'll be released in Sept in the US.....not sure about Oz but.....Ryano might fill us in??
This brand new tire from BFG contains compounds for three surface conditions- dry handling, wet handling and snow handling - under the BFG brand’s Multi-Grip Tread Technology banner. The compounds are positioned side-by-side across the gripping surface of the tire.
The BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 light truck tire is designed for rock climbing and other rugged applications.
The tire contains BFG’s Krawler TEK technology, consisting of aggressive sidewall lugs, cut- and chip-resistant sidewall compounds, and sidewall cords that are up to 33 percent stronger than the previous Mud-Terrain T/A KM tire. These advancements allow more bite and sidewall protection, along with increased strength and resistance to bruising caused by rocks and rough trails.
Fark me they look like a krawler. If they are anything like the last type BFG's I would stay well away from them for a road tyre. When I worked at fourbys we got a fair few back with major balance issues.
Available up to 42" tall/20" rim in the US. That's the size Pewe was running on the JK on UA.

hehe, my last set of BFGs (bout 4 years ago now) were like that.......Bob Jane joked about charging me by the kg for balancing them.
Yeh they look a lot like the Krawler but with a few more cuts or sipes in the treadblocks.
Are they supposed to be replacing the current BFG M/T or are they just a newer version of the Krawler?

Tuff IFS Lux just posted this on the 4wd Monthly Forum
yeah, I'll put an order in for them. they are supposedly coming out in a bunch of new sizes, especially for 17 and 18 inch rims.
here, got this off expeditionportal.com
The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 is scheduled to be released in September 2007. The following sizes are tentatively scheduled to be available at that date:

They have much less void than a Krawler, I vote they will be fine.

They are based on the Krawler Design and if they are anything like the Krawler in performance then i think this will be one of the best all round tyres ever made.
Yeah, I've just ordered a new set of BFG M/T's and have to wait a couple of weeks for them. I'm glad I've done it now, don't like playing guinea pig with this sort of thing.

shame that it will be 9/08 before most common user friendly sizes come out..
I'll be up for hoops long before then... I'll wait for reviews from people not interested in bling looks..

they have a 315/75/16 which equals a 34.6x12.4 which might do a few people, but yer, spetember 08 is a long way away.
I'm trying to decide between MTZ and new BFG MT...
Go with the MTZ's... if you like em - keep em, if you dont, flog them with good tread for good bux, and try the others.
Even if they are out in 9/08 I'd probably wait till after xmas to see what peoples reactions to them offroad, wear rate, and by then would have found someone with a set and gone for a wheel too to see for myself.
