Can't go wrong with BFG KM2s

I haven't owned a set of KM2 but their predecessors are very nice. BFG MT 32x11.5.

I've almost convinced myself to go with the 35x12.5x15 BFG MTs. I think I have a couple more years of tread on the current tires though.

BFG KOs work great in most instances and last a long time. Mine are 2 years old and still have 3/4 of the tread left.

I use Yokohama Geolander AT+2 on my suburban and really like them they work great on and off road - and I have had to take it into the trails to rescue my dune buggy so it has seen the mud and trails.

I tend to do that. I wear one set out on the street and save the deep lugs for when I need them. It is a little work swapping tires, but my street set is quieter and that pays off especially on long trips.
