Look good. I'm due for a new set and tossing up these or staying with MTZ. Keep us updated with how you find them.

Hi Dave,

What size are they? Will be interested to hear how you find them on road as well as off, as I'm thinking of putting them on our HD-J105 later on before we do the French Line.

Looks good.

Regards

John & Heather

G'day Guys, I've had a few sets of KM2's and couldn't be happier! They are quiet for a mud terrain and awesome in the sand (mostly all we drive on) would recommend to anyone!! Bit pricey though  :cheers:

I was quoted $475 for bfg and $460 for the mtz the other day. So not to much difference. My current mtz have done about 40000k. What have you been getting out of the bfg.

Guey, I've had allot better than 40000ks, the trick is to rotate them every 5-10000ks.. I paid $430 for the 285/70/17's not bad I thought  :cheers:

All 17" tyres seem to be expensive, so you got a great price. When I was looking last year, mates rates on a set of much lesser known tyres was going to be $380ea plus fitting etc.

Nice slicks!  I would love to get a set for my girl, but I've not done enough Kms in the factory ones to justify replacing them yet!!!

Thanks for the info. I would still get another 10k out of them for road, but they are no good for off road work now.
That is really good pricing you got for your tyres.

Trackabout, I'm just curious if a speed rating of Q for the BFG's (from their website) stacks up with the tyre placard on your vehicle.

As much as I'd like to cruise at 160kph, I would have to refinance the house to do so.. I'll check the compatabillity today!!
