is 1030 mounted for 33x12.5x15 BFG KM2s to steep? that just seems expensive.

The old mud rovers are the best tire for the money.

Just dont rub them against any roots on the trail.

I have never run them. But I have seen more of those paper thin sidewalls riped on the trail than I can count. They work well but muddy trails in the woods with roots on the high sides will tear them up.

No shite? I never trail ride like rocks and shite, I just know they pull damn strong in the mud.

No doubt they work in the mud, but they have a tendency to tear on tree roots.

KM2 are by far the longest lasting

Nitto makes a good riding tire. The Buckshots are a gooed weelend warrior tire but wear quickly.

Also look at ProComp MT's I have had very good experience with them.

Sounds high to me. I got 5 of the same size in ProComp MTs + tires Plus Rims for $1000 shipped to my door (already mounted)

+ I just put new BFG AT's on my F250 (larger diameter Rim size and load rating) for about $800

yeah they're sticking it to you on that. wholesale on those should be around $180.00. Dont let them give you that bigger tires cost more to mount BS
