I needed to get new tires before Moab and I narrowed it down to KM2s and the Duratracs. I've had a lot of tires on this H3
1st - OEM Goodyear Wrangler RT/S
2nd - BFG KMs. Lasted 20,000 maybe. Takeoffs from another H3 owner but they were dry-rotted and chunked badly. Really badly.
2nd - BFG KOs, 305s. Punctured about 4 sidewalls, lasted about 45,000 miles
3rd - BFG KM2s, 315s. Great tires. Sometimes hard to keep balanced, lasted about 45,000 miles
4th - Hankook MTs, 315s. Good tires. Also hard to keep balanced, lasted about 40,000 miles
5th - Yokohoma Geolanders, 315s. About 5000 miles. Takeoffs from Reloader. Noisy, rough riding, hard to keep balanced, directional so rotation is a PITA.
All tires were replaced with some tread remaining. I think I sold the KOs on Craigslist.
Decided on Duratracs as I think they'll be a bit easier to keep balanced and I've seen that they do well in Moab. I put them on my Silverado as well about 10,000 miles ago, and they were about $25 less per tire. Not a lot, but a bit more measurable when multiplying by 5.
I've put two miles on them so far so I can't offer much of an opinion on the ride at this time.
