Discount tire direct and tire rack both show to have the km2 in a 235/85R16. Are you sure it wasn't the previous model, the KM, that was discontinued? The only size of the KM is available is the one that comes stock on the Jeep Wranglers.

Speaking of the KM2, I've got them in 255/85R16 on my 03, and they are AWESOME.

Can you post a pic of your truck w/ the 255/85's? Hows the ride? Road noise?

They have a lot more sidewall, so there is noticeable softness in ride, and I've got a 3inch lift, so over all the roof is probably about 5 inches taller. I take corners slower now.

Noise is actually pretty low for a "mud" tire. I think the disco does a good job of blocking out what little noise there is.

You're missing a spare

It doesn't fit yet... it's in the back.

I've got a new rear bumper, and I plan on flipping the holder, hopefully it will fit... if not I'll try something else.

There are relocating kits if you need, if not you can just go true Rover and throw it on the bonnet!

I've started pricing 245/75/16 BFG Rugged Trail T/A. It's exactly what I'm looking for.

Is anyone running this tire??

Here's a snipet from BFG:

The Rugged Terrain T/A is situated in BFGoodrich’s lineup smack between the on-road Long Trail T/A Tour and the more off-road-ready All-Terrain T/A KO.

It's exactly what I'm looking for.

I found two different tire rating for the BFG Rugged Terrain T/A.

One has a 120R load/speed rating and the other less expensive option has a load/speed rating 109T. Can we run the 109T's on the DII's?
