Thread: BFG KM2 Muddie how many km?

    BFG KM2 Muddie how many km?

    Well the BFG KM2 Muddie has been around a little while now and I am wondering what sort of Klm's are people getting out of these tyres?
    My understanding is they run a softer compound, so to me this would indicate less tyre life than the previous model. How have the current users found the tyre wear before having to replace them

    Regards
    John

    I've done close to 27,000km's on mine so far and they've used around 1/3 of the tread. At that rate I expect to get between 60,000km's to 80,000km's - I'd say I'll get more, but I like to replace tyres well before they're to the last wear marks.

    In general I've found them to be awesome tyres - I was running BFG AT's before, but I've found the BFG MT KM2's to be better in almost all areas...offroad in mud, rocks, sand and snow, onroad in the wet they handle very well. Only issues I've found are they decrease fuel economy by around 0.5L per 100km and are slightly noisier than the AT's. When this set wear out I'll be replacing them with the same.

    The KM2 will be my next tyre test. Was going to order those this time before the sales bloke showed me the Kevlar Wrangler MTR's, they are awsome aswell.

    Is it correct that there is a 3 month wait? I'm getting mixed messages
