Have heard good things about the KM2's

Great tires. Wear well on the street and aren't real loud like some other muds.

I had those for a while. Hated the look of them but they held up great.

I virtually gave mine away. Were in perfect shape and had 3000 miles on the tires (35x10.5x18)

Think I got $350 for five rims and tires.

I'm in the process of moving right now and have been giving parts away. Down to my last handful and one thing going in the trash is a brand new 34" Super Swamper.

Since we have so many Jeep gurus, anything I need to double check before signing on the dotted line for an 08 Rubicon unlimited?

Are you actually going to use it offroad? as in use the diff gearing (4.10s which you might depending on tires), but more importantly the low gear transfer case?

if not, save yourself a few thousand and get another model.


and 08'? Id run

This

Other than the pretty sticker on the side, there is no reason for a Rubicon living in Louisiana

It will be back home Friday. They finally figured out what was wrong, the exact problem I said from day one.

Notice the beer in the pic....
