I NEED TIRES SOON TOO-----Wonder how these KM2 will do with everyday driving---the size is what i'm looking for---perfect/narrow/tall tire----------BUT on ice/packed snow for a dually would they be all over the road with no traction for a "MUD" tire?---------Anyone run these though a winter yet?????????PS----.I priced out 7 tires/mounted balance/out the door for 2100.00CAN including a new spare----cheapest so far------Kaltire wanted 2500.00---won't be heading there.Any more info/feedback on these is greatly appreciated.DW

Levi, are you going to end up having to run spacers on the rear with the 285's?

Dweiler, I don't personally know anyone that has ran these new bfg's on a dually but I know a guy who has them on a jeep in a 35" tire and he says they perform great in the snow/ice.

Thanks---still waiting on more replys/info from some more members but that is positive so far--------Wife and her family are heading to BC(600 MILES) in 3 weeks to visit family and they would like to take the MEGACAB for more creature comfort/room----Either way i will have to pull the trigger on new tires before they leave,only about 10% left on the stock generals---too unsafe heading in to snow country with bald meats.DW
