I have a 4 door 08 wrangler unlimted which I just put a 3" lift on. It has factory BFG KM tires I would like to change the tires to 12.50/35/17 BFG KM 2's they look like they would be a great offroad tire. But I do a lot of highway driving and am wondering if anyone knows how the road noise will be with this tire design. On a scale of 1-10 with the factory KM tires at a 4 what would the KM 2's rate. Thanks

I put about 15k on my 33x10.50 BFG KMs. When they were new, about 5k, they were really quiet. I didn't rotate them the first 5k. Then they got a little cuppy noise. I started rotating them every 3k and they acually got pretty quiet again.
I now have a set of 315/75/16 BFG KM2s. They only have about 1k on them, but they are just as quiet as the KMs that came off, maybe even more so. I plan to rotate them at least every 3k, that really makes a difference.
Also, my toe got wacked a little. Didn't make any difference driving, but the KMs got real noisy (WaWaWAWA). Re-set the toe and they got real quiet again. FYI.

Not alot of road noise. Good road manners. So far so good. Got about 1k miles so we'll see.
