Hey is anyone running the BF km2? If so what opinions do you have on the tire? I see that I can get them in 255.80R17, was looking at them for my next set.

I just got a set mounted up Monday. I don't have many miles on them yet but I can say they are a lot quieter than they look.

I had read they were still a bit louder than the KM's? Have you run those before to be able to compare?

thanks.

IMO, they are just a little bit louder. I've run both tires, Loved the old style, and so far am loving the new ones also.

My old KM's were quiet, even wore. But I never let a tire get choppy. That's what causes noise. My new ones aren't loud, but you can hear them. But nowhere near Swamper loud like I'm used to!

Hey,
Hot stuff, what kind of mileage are you getting out of them? How do they handle the snow what sizes are you running?

I've only got a few thousand miles on them, I've only put 6000 miles on the truck since last Jan.!!! But they seem to be wearing very well so far. If the truck comes out of the garage this winter, I'll find out how they are in the snow! But I'm trying to keep it out of the salt. I've got beater's to drive for work and crap.

I'm running 35x12.50's. It's in my sig.

They're very good in the mud. I get no wheel hop, but I have traction bars. Tire's aren't what cause wheel hop though. It's the suspension fighting with traction that causes wheel hop. Tires just aggrevate it by the amount of traction they get.
