Review of the BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX
The BFGoodrich Krawler is a monster of a Radial tire. BFGoodrich specifically designed this tire to excel in the world of rockcrawling, while still giving the driver performance in a variety of terrains, including on paved road. The Krawler's tread design is an aggressive, strong one with massive lugs, super-strong sidewalls, and an extra shoulder lip of rubber around the bead to help protect the rim and aid the tires resistance to popping off the bead. At low pressures, the sidewall and tread flexes readily and surprisingly well for such a massive tire, enveloping obstacles as the sidewalls bulge. Tread lugs extend way down the sidewall offering protect as well as helps to increase traction when sidewall bite can make the difference on rock and in mud. Where the BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX excels best is on the rocks. When aired down to the single digits, the chunky lugs of soft compound grip big time on all types of rocks from the knarly to the slick. Sharp rocks and wood spikes offer little problem as the Krawler resists tears and punctures to an impressive degree. In the mud the Krawler isn't at its best. The tread doesn't self clean as well as some of the other mud performers on the market unless generous amounts of throttled wheelspin are applied. On the wooded trails this tire does very well, getting good bite the varying conditions. In the sand the Krawler bites strong and will dig if too much throttle is applied although flotation is good. On the street, the BFGoodrich Krawlers perform better than most aggressive tires with a somewhat smooth ride. This is in part due to their construction as a radial tire and the staggered tread design. However they will still let you know they're down there as some lug slap will be noticed. As far as their look, the Krawler has a very aggressive appearance and will definitely turn heads. Sidewall Plys: 4 Nylon. Tread Plys: 4 Nylon, 2 Steel. Load Rating: C. Available sizes: 35x13.50R15/C, 37x12.50R17/C, 37x12.50R17/C

I have the 37x12.5x17s on my H1. I mainly offroad on rock in SoCal, AZ and Utah. These tires have amazing traction on slickrock, granite, limestone, etc. haven't been in the mud yet with them but for places like Moab they are great.

you guys saying they suck in the mud dont know what your talking about you have to keep them spinning fast enough to clean them, if your tires just digging deeper and deeper into the mud try hitting them hole a little faster and staying on the gas until your out

Pros:
|
Very tame and quiet on road, but tougher and more capable offroad than the old BFG mud terrains. BFG also offers this tire at a great price.
|
|
Cons:
|
not great in ice. No siping.
|
|
This tire has better road manners than many all-terrain tires, and is the quietest MT tire I have ever used. It performs better in mud and snow than the old BFG mud terrain and has a sidewall that is about 3 times sturdier. The KM2 really is exceptional on rocks, probably the best tire I have ever used in rock gardens.
The only downside is ice. These tires have no siping, which makes them poor ice tires but improves lug rigidity. Also, the sidewalls are so stiff when the tire is new, that you have to air down pretty far to get the usual off-road benefits, but they break in nicely after a few offroad trips.
I have Mickey Thompson MTZs on another 4x4; and have used Nittos, Goodyears, Pro Comps, Toyos, BFG Mud Terrains, and Swampers on my various other Jeeps. These KM2s are the best tire I have ever used because they are super tough and do pretty good in just about everything.

Great looks, fantastic grip, superior all-around handling characteristics
|

Cons:

Cons: Only 1,...that they didn't make this tire sooner!
|

I just recently took off my 3-year old/57,000+miles of wear, 265/75R-16 BFG All-Terrain T/A's, (still has some tread left!). Lifted my '95 Ram 1500 4-by w/5" Skyjacker kit, Dick Cepek DC-2's, and the infamous,..#1-performing 35"x12.50x17 BFG-KM2's. They are a fenominal product and look forward to testing them out. I can't believe the negative reviews,...they must not know how to drive correctly, air-down correctly,...etc. BFG tires,..in my opinion/lifetime of usage, are a long lasting tread tire, with excellent "WHEELING" characteristics, and outlast all other competing tires on the market! (I'm 44 and have tried many brands on my 26 4x4 trucks i've owned over the years.

Little bit high on the price, But it's pays the money back.

I had this about a month now, I drove in the rainy day on the street: "Best Traction". Offroad mud: "The Best". Rocks: "Nailed it". These are the toughest tire that you can ever own. Seriously, if you wanna spend a little bit extra on the money, GET THESE TIRE. I heard people complain about the noise, yes, there are some noise, but hey it's Offroad tire, don't buy it if you on something to drive on the road and listen Hannah Montana lol.
