So I really like the KM2's. They are fairly quiet and ride smooth as can be... the only downside is the size of them. Everyone knows BFG's run small, I knew this when I bought them. Think they measured at 32.5" when I got them. When I bought new tires last summer I wanted to get Nitto Trail Grapplers in 295/70/17 but chickened out at the end. Everyone knows that Nitto measures true to size almost a little larger than actual size.

 

Now here is my dilemma... Nitto makes the Trail Graps in a 285/70/17 which measures out to 33.15" tall x 11.81" wide. The 295/70/17 measures to 33.57" tall x 11.97" wide. Also like the Cooper STT's in a 295/70 as well.

 

I only got 12-15k on the BFG's and they are holding out great. No real signs of wear on them.

 

Should I try to sell the BFG's this summer and step up to either the 285/70 or 295/70 in the Trail Grapplers or should I just stick it out with the BFG's. I'm kind of torn on it. I don't really know how fast and for how much I could sell the BFG's for either...

My buddy had 35" Trail Grapps and they were nice tires but they had a horrible vibration when going 5 mph. But other than that they were good tires. Now he has Toyo M/T and they are smooth as glass. I like the KM2 but you are right they look small to me especially the tread width.

 

I don't think you would have trouble getting $600, so if you feel you can afford it do it. The 295s would look great under your truck!!!
