Tyre inspection:
Are these the tread wear indicators on my BFG MT's? They seem not to have tread wear indicators similar to other road tyres. I measure around 2mm to these shallow grooves.
Thoughts? They are 2013 KM2's which have done 55,000km. Most of the wear was in the first 6months - I remember the compound being very soft and losing maybe 5mm off the tread blocks. Tread blocks are still deep as you can see, but the tyres are definitely harder than they were. No chips, cracks or bulges.

The new KM3's look good though! [bigwhistle]
And whilst i'm thinking about it, how's the road noise on the new KM3's (compared with KM2's)?
If i replaced it would be a choice between BFG MT's and AT's, and noise would be the main reason for opting for the AT's I think.
Thus far I've coped with the road noise of the MT's, but got some long days of driving ahead...
The noise difference between the two is huge.
I can see this thread turning into a tyre opinion thread[biggrin]
If the KM3's are quieter then i'm sold...
Sorry,I meant between AT and MT.Quote:

I don't have any experience with KM2s but the KM3s that I have on the 130 are significantly quieter than the Hankook muddies I had previously, I've got a couple of Hankooks as spares and they sound like the cardboard I used to put in the spokes of my pushie when I was a kid[biggrin]. The KM3s are also OE fitment on SWMBOs Rubicon and are not noticeably noisy on it yet either. Defer has 20,000KM and the Jeep has about 9000KM on themQuote:
