This is one reason why I always lean towards BFG, the tripple sidewall and all that.

I've read that trxus had some sidewall failures early on in production, but haven't ever heard of anybody in person, not that this means anything.
Those highway failures would be a manufacturing issues, not a sidewall strength issue, and I don't blame anybody for casting a wary eye in Interco's direction on that subject, although Denman manufacturers the Trxus MT now.
As for BFG 3 ply, that's marketing stuff in terms of offroad durability.
You are sounding more and more like a candidate for the Toyo MT, and I will say that I really like the look of the Toyo in a 13.5" wide tire on the 80. Does increase the chance of rubbing, but that tire looks about perfect on an 80 if that matters to you.
I dunno, though, in terms of liking to be different, if I didn't have to deal with a lot of snow and icy hardpack, I'd want to try the KM2 to see how it does, because shockingly for BFG, this tire is innovative. Although I have to say those tires in a 315 just plain look smaller than my 2 year old trxus, and that bothers me because I hate having big tires look kind of small on my rig
