I've had KM2's on for about a month after finally catching up with Ken before Christmas.

They are noisy, seem to be worst around 50-60mph, but no worse than MTR's .

I am hoping to get my Goodyear winters on tomorrow but it depends on:

Weather
Tax return (getting it done, or starting it and needing something else to do to get me away from it)
And if i can be arsed.

KM2's work well in water - and When I say in, I really mean under! :oops:

They were very good on the two occasions I've used them off road since having them fitted. Climbed out of ruts where others had to keep going and turn around and no slipping even when I saw some others sliding.

I'm looking forward to some quieter winter tyres now though.

Having rumbled my way up to Milton Keynes 3 days last week with the MTR's on, the LTZ's have gone back on yesterday.. Can't be doing with that din all next week!


Off Roading is OK.... But I'd rather be Boating!

No idea how many miles they have done - all I know is that they have done the Pyrenees at least 4 times - so the thick end of 20K plus what ever else they did before and during.

Hadn't realised until Ken said, that they were made in 2006, so they have done well.

So now got 6 nice shiney 245/70/17 BFG KM2's :thumbright:
Same as mine, they are superb got me out of the :censored: last weekend!!! :thumbright:

My car must be bloody well sound proofed then as I find very little increase in noise with the KM2s over the road tyres, they are quieter that both STTs and Goodyear MTRs especially at speeds above 30 MPH.
