Re: BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2
Good to hear the praise for this tyre - this is the way I'm leaning for my new landy.
I was just quoted 650 for 5, fitted and balanced - is that a long way off what others are paying? Seems about 45 pounds more than buying from Paddocks but that doesn't include fitting.

Hi Mav, 650 seems to be about right once balancing is included etc. You won't be sorry with the tyres. I have just got back from a weeks worth of laning in Wales and gave these tyres a darned good exercise and they were simply superb in every situation. Bear in mind that this was also with 2 people plus all the gear associated with camping for a week in the rain too.
Then after all that they'll happily cruise you home on the motorways without flinching.
I do not often endorse things but these are great tyres and IMHO much better than the original BFG MT and KM. As such get the Geo. seal of approval

Re: BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2
Thanks Geo!
So depending on the condition of my second hand wolf rims I'm picking up on Thursday, I could have these mounted in a few days  |

Re: BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2

Hey Dreadnought, only driven a Yota LC with them on, seemed pretty good to me. The advantages are that they are a darned sight cheaper than the BFG MT KM2s and they look great too....

I have looked at them and they seem very appealing, supposed to be good on the road too. The thing that is putting me off them is that they are Directional....so you really need to carry 2 spares  Or is that wrong?

Re: BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2
The KL71s seem to hole the side walls a lot easer.

Re: BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2
I was thinking of them for my Pinzgauer if I can,t find any Michelin XZL in 8.25x16, does anyone have experience of them on a heavier LWB that regularly carries a lot?

Re: BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2
How do any of you handle directional tyres and one spare? Have a different (unidirectional) tyre on spare?
