What cha runnin'?

**carolinarednek** · 12-25-2008, 07:55 PM

Okay, I'm getting ready to make a rather large investment in some 35's for my dually. I've been doing my research and it looks like I'm torn between 2 tires. I LOVE the looks of the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw, but I also like the new BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM2. I'm sure I'll get more miles out of the BFG's, but thats not a very big deal to me. My truck is not driven very much. I probably haven't put more than 8,000 miles on it this year. I am however open to other suggestions on a "good looking" tire. Oh, By the way, I thought I should mention that my Dad works for Michelin and can get a 30% rebate on any BFG, Michelin, and Uniroyal purchase. So thats the other thing I got pushing the BFG's. Input is VERY welcome!!

They DO look mean on there! I can get them from National Tire & Wheel fairly inexpensively. Theyre $257.79 x 6 tires thats $1546.74 with free shipping. The BFG's are $279.79 x 6 tires thats $1678.74 then subtract the 30% and thats $1175.11. I'm still not sure though.

Well, I thank all of you for your input. I have decided to go with the KM2's. I found a place here locally that sells them for $268.95 a tire. I would still LOVE to put the Baja Claws on it, but the BFG's will be cheaper and I think I'll get better wear out of them too!
