Stuck between two tires
I cannot decide which tire i should purchase for my off-road/ on road use. I do a fair amount of driving and highway driving. When I go off road i deal with a lot of mud and climbing rocky hills. I also want to take my jeep onto the beach. I have decided on a 33x12.50 but should i get the BFG KM2 or the Super Swamper TSL radials?

I'd go with the KM2's. BFG's to me behave a little better on the road, and if you're doing a lot of highway, i'd err on the side of comfort. maybe even consider the BFG A/T's?

those BFG's should last a lot better on the road.

I really like swampers but I don't DD my rig and if I do it's only 6.7 miles to work if I do drive it to work . I would say go with the KM2's over the swampers for tread life and highway ride . the longest lasting swampers I've ever had only lasted about 25-27K and that was rotating them eveytime I changed my oil

Drive a rig with a set of un-balanced Swamper's and come back and let us know when you buy the KM2's

Go with KM2 s they are much better for on road use the rubber is not as soft as the swampers I have the km2s 35/12.50s and they have been on my truck for about 14 months and still have about a half inch of tread on them
