I hear people get crazy mileage out of them...

I think the fewer biting edges and large tread blocks last longer will all the tq we make.

True, I got 93,000 out of a set of 35 BFG MT's on my 2002 7.3 powerstroke. I thought these km 2's were softer than the old bfg muds

They are narrower and shorter. A BFG KM2 35x12.50R17 (315/70/17) is 34.8x12.5. The 255/80/17 is 33.3x10.0

Thats an amazing amount of miles If I get 35K out of them I will be happy, thats all I am going to get from my Toyo AT's, and they are $400/set more.

Blue Dually, that looks good! Do you have any more pics of them on your truck, maybe side view of the whole truck and one rear view from a little farther back would be great. How do you like them so far?

No other pictures, I've only put on maybe a 1000 kms (600 miles) so far. They are pretty quiet for how aggresive they are.

They sway more compared to the 295 toyo mts I replaced, when you jerk the wheel, there is some side to side sway, they do not really squish like the stock general did though.

They dont have the sidewall strength/load rating of the toyos, but should do well.

The truck is heavy though, 15 000lbs or so, so most guys probably wont have the same issue.
