My girl has the ttc on her gq in the 35x12.50.15 variety and so far have been pretty good they are a little noisy on the road but no more so than the worn out bighorns we took off to put these on. Price was to be expected at 400 a tyre so really isnt that bad road manners are to be quite good at the moment and off road the tyres have proven them selves quite well would be as good if not slightly better than the mtz's i wouldnt hesitate to buy a set of these for mine if i wasnt so biased on the mtz (love these tyres)

Wonder if they perform better on wet roads than previous. Being nothing between 35-54" leaves a lot to be desired as they are let's face it offroad orientated yet lack the sizing more common to today's wheeler.

I have clocked up close to 70k on my 285/75/16 KM2's now, and looking at replacing them with the TTC Claws in 33x12.5x15 as i have new rims. What sort of km are you guys getting out of them? I hope someone can enlighten me pretty soon as i will be ordering them in the next couple of days.

Wozza244 I doubt anyone that anyone over here has worn set out yet as they only come out at the start of this year.


Below is the highest klm feedback I have seen.

Granted they arnt simex peeds pr sticky treps, but they do offer somthing in between. Definatly found them to be better in the slop then MTZ's. The more loud pedal you give the better.

Thumbs up from me.

Fair enough, its just that KM2's are gonna be $1345 ready to fit to rims, and im gonna get about the 70k i have got from the last ones, and the Claws are gonna be $1580 ready to fit to rims.
I'm not sure im willing to pay the extra, might just wait till i see some wear life and stick with the devil i know.

Cheers mate!
