Default BFG KM2's vs. A/T's

Thought I had my mind set on the BFG A/T's, but the KM2's are starting to peek my interest as well. I need some answers first though from people who either have experience with both or one or the other. When comparing the two, how is the wet traction in rain and snow, whats the average mpg different, and whats the longevity in wear and miles between the two as far as road use?

Thank you, very helpful info. I'd be looking at 33" KM2's if I were to get them. I'm more so worried about traction in rain, mpg difference, and tread life verses the a/t's.

To be honest, mud terrains ride like older all terrains. Toyo, BFG, Nitto Mud tires all ride great and handle all terrains well....I say Mud Terrains over All Terrains....

My only worry is that I will hardly be doing any off-roading, if any at all. The KM2's would be more for looks than anything, it's just that the price difference for the size i'm looking at isn't much in difference. So if the KM2's aren't a better road tire and won't last as long as far as tread life goes, I'll most likely go with the A/T's.

How many miles were you able to get out of them?

Neither go with the Goodyear Duractracs. I read reviews on them and every single review I read was outstanding.

I was going to get KM2s but everyone I talked to said they were noiser and horrible in the rain. I had BFG AT's on my Mountaineer and loved them, so I went AT on my truck. Im 60% on-road and 40% off-road.
