MT/R

Why?

-Excellent trail performance- Brand new Km2 and MT/R seemed pretty close, however as my km2's wore I found myself getting held up in the mud way too easily. MT/R will perform with the best of them and sling lots of mud with adequate wheel spin.
-Look Cooler..... my 2 cents
-Better winter performance, easily
-Very livable on the street, wear....ok....not great

Verdict
After owning both I would definitely consider another set of MT/R but would never buy a set of  KM2 again

And sidewall strngth. BFG sidewalls are way to flimsy. Specially around here. MT/R sidewal is significantly stronger.

Thanks for the info. Im finding that the kevlars are about $50 cheaper also. Does anyone here run them? How do they do in the mud?
