When you want to hit some serious mud holes around Jacksonville, FL, you need a serious tire -- and BF Goodrich has come through harder than ever with the new BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2. A beastly looking tire with a reptilian, scaled lug with irregular spacing (to allow for maximum self-clearing of mud), this Mud-Terrain is one of the best mud stomping tires ever.
The lug is computer generated, with lateral treads, deep voids, and wide, siped lugs that provide massive performance off the road. The tires excel at providing traction through sand, snow, and gravel -- but as the name suggests, they're custom made for mud. Dense siping provides excellent grip on snow and ice.
Enormous 15 millimeter side lugs that act like miniature paddles propel you through mud of any kind as well as protecting the sidewall from potential impacts. They also give the BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 a vicious profile that is very pleasing to the eye. Enhancing the visual effect is an option that continues to look like a The BF Goodrich Krawler T/A KX but has a tighter tread design.
The driving surface of the tire is reinforced with dual full-width steel belts to make sure nothing punctures the tire's driving surface. 3 plies of polyester reinforce the sidewall (in addition to those massive lugs), making the sidewall incredibly tough as well. Very little that you'll come across in any drivable environment is going to threaten the BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques guarantee uniformity and balance across the entire body of the tire, so as long as they're aligned properly, no single part of the tire will wear out early.
On the pavement around Jacksonville, FL, the BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 loses a little of its shine, largely because it's incredibly loud. You don't ever expect a mud tire to provide a smooth, quiet ride or great traction on pavement -- but the Mud Terrain takes the usual noise of mud tires and it really isn't that bad. (On the plus side, the noise on the outside of the car is just aggressive enough to match the visual profile nicely.)This tire does not annoy passengers and the humming at a low level. On the other hand, BF Goodrich's muddy masterpiece does feature deliberately strengthened lugs that do provide more traction on-road than most of its peers.
If you've got a big rig and some cash to spend, there's no better way to stomp some of the mud holes around Jacksonville, FL than with a set of BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 Tires
