Tires?? which ones???
« on: August 19, 2014, 09:53:59 PM »
My 33'' KM2s are nearing their end and starting to look for 35s. I'm really a fan of how the MTR kevlars look. I do about 80% mall crawling in the city and 20% wheeling in the woods. Between 35'' BFG KM2s, MTR Kevlars, and the General Grabbers.... what do you all recommend???

I would go with the MTRs because there very light there fore less rotational mass to break stuff. Plus the 35" km2' measure very small from what I am told.
Most LCOG Builds are like a fat girl in Yoga Pants, just cause it fits doesn't mean it works...

The km2's are good tires as are the mtr's.  Get what you like looking at and a brand you trust.  I have trusted the bfg brand for 13ish years and never had an issue.

I've recently had toyo mts and now have mtr kevlars. Both on a dd. Toyos did really well on the road, but not very good in the rocks. Mtr's are night and day better on the trails around here. Too early to notice a big difference on the road. Also, mtrs are a good bit lighter.
