Some thoughts on the new BFG KM2 that is sort-of out, will be coming out in more sizes later...
They are more aggressive than the previous model KM. The tread pattern is a slight blend between the KM and the Krawler tire that is/was meant for offroad only purposes.
To be honest, i used to run 31" BFG KM's on my Cherokee, i liked them a lot and didn't mind the slight vibration/road noise that they made. But, i also liked to hit some harder trails from time to time.
I WOULD NOT recommend the KM2's as a dail driver or expedition tire. They are likely not going to last as long as the previous KM, will be louder, worse on fuel economy, and I would consider them to be an 80% offroad , 20% onroad tire.
Take my opinion for what it is worth, but i work on the order desk of a tire distributor here in Canada.
For the longer distances that an expedition vehicle is going to see, and the fact you're likely to stay on paved and lighter gravel roads most of the time, i'd stick with an A/T tire.
