Haha, capability.

But there are some things i won't buy because they look stupid. JT2's for example. MTZ's, swampers, KM2's.
Some slight OCD problem i have haha.

KM2 come in 33x10.5r15 which would be pretty sweet size wise.

i've compared my KM2 to my kumho KL71 and its seriously hard to pick the difference between the two other than the KL71 DEFINITELY work better on rocks and are quieter on the road (very noticably). I'd say the better rock performance comes from a softer sidewall and stronger bead... the KL71s bag out more for the same PSI, but i ran mine at 7psi with no issues... while running the KM2's at 8psi i've broken the bead twice now on a rear tyre (different tyre each time) on a climb (only enough to let the air out though, not off the rim totally).

Bang for buck i'd take the KL71 in a 33x12.5 if 33's were the size i wanted as theyre almost half the price of the KM2.

I definitely wouldnt bother with the simex ET pattern if youre doing any sort of rocks or cross slopes.

They'll be beadlocked so ill be running like 2psi.(I've done a track at 2psi on my current tyres, its amazing).

And the majority of the performance i want from them is rock grip and slopes. Alot of the good tracks are slopes and big rock sections. and at comps i dont see many swamps.

I might have a look at the KL71's.

Silverstones are completley different to simex ets. At 7psi mine totaly deform around any rock. Et's and silverstones cant really be tagged as the same

Dry Rock grip --- get a set of desert duelers...

Haha why?
Some things just look horrid. I wouldnt buy a hitop because they look horrid. I wouldnt buy late model BMW that isnt an M series because they look horrid. If it comes down to it i would consider the KM2, but i'm not keen on BFG MOSTLY because of their jacked up price and the hype old dudes in their prado's give them.

I've said it before & I'll say it again... SierraDan you're now an official TEAM Image Class Racing member.

I can't believe you mentioned claws... wafer thin sidewall, old technology & it's essentially a straight up mud tyre.

They're mud based also.

It was until people called me a poser because i dont like the look of KM2's. Whatever, eat a dick i really don't care. I know what i want, i know what i'm looking for, my zook hardly sits in the macca's carpark flexed up on a cup.


Ideally, I want a 33" bias trep. Cant get it.
33" Radial Trep, Cant get it.
255/85-16LT Creepy-Perfect, but proving difficult to obtain.
33x12.5 Claws. No bias, a little wide for my liking, but possible.
Mudzillas 33x13.5, wide as all shit, but bias.
ET's Dont suit my needs.
TSLs DOnt suit my needs.
Km2's 33x10.5-radial, exy for what they are in comparison to other tyres.(IMO)
KL71's,- not sure

Yeah, i think i completely forgot about them cos i was looking for bias.
But they're 12.5 wide. I could justify the extra inch on the bias mudzillas then.
