Default New tires

So Wednesday at 9am, I'm getting new tires finally. After months of shopping and cringing at the prices, I'm getting 4 brand new 31x10.50 Nexen MTs for $800 including mounting, balancing, and alignment.



I'll be sure to get some before and after shots.

I'm getting ready to buy some new tires as well. can't decide between some BfGoodrich A/T or BfGoodrich M/T KM2 Its my DD and will be on a leveling kit by tomorrow, ordering my wheels and tires today. I'm going with 31x10.5r15 but can't decide witch of the two to choose. I have only been off road a handful of times with my current 30x9.5 A/T and I've only had one problem, they slick in mud quickly. I won't be doing a whole lot of off roading and i usually don't drive on the highway, maybe 50mi a month on the highways. I get a lot of rain here in Oregon and snowy winters with ice too. What is a better buy for me? thanks a lot guys

I'd go with the KM2. Its a much milder tread than the old kms but more aggressive than the ko (all terrain).

And thanks. Put a few miles on them and they are working just fine. Ride nice, make noise but thats to be expected and its not horrible, and they are MUCH stickier than my old worn out BFG mud terrains, especially in the rain.
