KM2s are an excellent tire for our type of wheeling in the Southwest. That is the set of tires I run (35") whenever I go wheeling. They do not do well in snow.

That seams like a great price at 750 for all four out the door. Not to give you info overload,see if they can sipe the tires for that price. You can buy your own siping tool on the inter web. I know someone that does his own tires. This will help in the rain. This bud buys used factory race truck tires and runs them on a trail rig/ street rig. I think he paid 80 bucks for the tool. FYI ,those race BFG's he runs are not DOT approved .

The Kenda's appear to have factory siping already molded in.

4?!?! Are we forgetting the H3 has 5 tires? It's a huge pet peeve of mine when people overlook the spare... Lol. If you don't get the 5th tire with the set, at least make sure your spare is the same size as the rest or you'll be sorry if you ever have to use the spare.

If this were my kid running those tires on rain slick roads,more siping would be added. Just trying to point the young man in a safe direction.

Looked like many of the reviews on those treads seem to state they worked well on slick surfaces as-is.

You can use an off-size spare on the rear, provided you don't use the locker if equipped. Keep in mind your right and left tires turn at different speeds every time you turn a corner, thus the open diff. Same thing with running two different size tire heights. You certainly wouldn't want to run down the highway at 80mph for an hour, but it would definitely get you off the trail and to you nearest tire store.

So why not just get a 5th tire the same size as the other 4 and remove all doubt and worries in your trek back home. That's just me and I guess I'm old school and hate those small BS can't drive over 45 mph emergency spare tires that now come in sedans.

Plus IMO if u have a different spare from all other 4 tires it just looks out of place and bugs me...but it might be my OCD in this particular case.

FYI, in regards to treadwright... they're very different than they were just a couple years ago. I've got in the realm of 400,000 miles on treadwright tires now, and have about 20 friends that run them. In my miles & of the friends I've had with them, I've had two buddies have an issue, both with the warden.

The new ones aren't even recaps anymore, they're bead to bead.

I haven't gone above 11 psi for about a month now... and my last set went months on end aired down. Keep in mind where the reviews are coming from. ;)

They def look good imo looks pretty progressive and deep tread so we'll see how they wear and everything. It def makes it look mean and it'll look good when I get my brush guard with the winch!
