That is why I will settle for them. But nothing can handle mud like the Super Swampers. I may drive for hours on the road and then be in mud for a few minutes. But if I get stuck it could cost me more time than the drive. I will put the KM2 to the mud test. I don't waste money on what Goodyear calls mud tires. I could not believe how they held the mud and were called mud tires. Sometimes I am in soft mud and sometimes in the clay mud. You get stuck in the soft stuff but the clay can make you wreck and tear your truck up. I will put the KM2 through both.

they got me through soft mud in 2wd LOL. (posi rear end) they kept digging and flinging mud till they caught traction and lurched the truck forward. in 4wd it was like the mud wasn't even there...

and my old KM's (not KM2's) in 1.5' of fresh snow made it through the snow no problem at all. and they were BALD! (guess the excessive weight of the cummins engine helps a bit..)

You didnt mention what tranny you had in your truck. If you are familiar with dodge you know the autos suck. The manual's are great but the oem clutch dont like a lot of power or towing. If you plan to run your truck hard and pull a heavy trailer you really should upgrade the tranny or clutch.
