FJ Marine, there are quite a few threads on these tires. Do a quick search and you'll see how many people have spoke up.

Thanks FJamming, just started checking the other threads out. I'm pretty sure I know which one I'm gonna run but was looking to see if anyone had any comparisons between the 3.

I got Dick Cepek MudCountry's and I love them. They are made by Mickey Thompson. They handle great on the highway (even at 80mph) and really great on the trail.

Just a quick thought. You may want to PM FJ-Ollie for the Dynapro. SSC did a very extensive review of the KM2. I'm not sure of the MTZ. Hope that's a good starting point for you. Personally I would prefer the KM2 due to the glowing review SSC gave them. Good luck.

After all the reading that is the one I am leaning towards for sure.

if you're looking for an MT, i love my toyo MTs. quiet for a MT, they have been wearing great, handle good on the street, and handle the Louisiana mud pretty well. Though they are on the expensive side....

X2 on the KM2's, but you already knew that.

x3 on the KM2, but I know a lot of people who swear by the MTZ's as well. I've recently picked up a set of 285's, I love 'em. Surprisingly smooth on pavement, but if you were to run them all the time (I swap out w/ stock tires for commuting during the week), it might be worth it to get at least the center tread siped if you get a lot of rain.

Went playing in the snow for a bit just last night, and I was pleased with performance & and self-cleaning tread. Haven't had a chance to try them in mud yet...everything is covered in afformentioned snow

.

FYI the KM2's in the 285/70/17 (smallest size released so far) are very popular and have been back-ordered everywhere I looked in m area. I had to wait about 6 weeks for mine.

Thanks for all the input. Looks like KM2' for me. They can have em here in one day at my local tire store.
