No probs. Do you mean KM2? Like the ones on the ops vehicle? The KO2 is the currently All Terrain.Mine are BFG MT KO2 bought New in 2016 I think so very old.
They still have thread life in them but will be changed next spring as they are way too slippy now. Remember I live in a cold-ish country. where I live the average temp is about 12C during the season these tyres are used. Would never use them in the winter, would be a suicide.
Nordic Winter tyres only from now october until april

Well worth joining if you lane. Or even get a group of mates to club together. Don't think the annual cost is that high.
Has all the rights of way across England & Wales listed along with their current status and comments from people who have driven them recently. Very handy in checking out where you can or can't drive.

Now on AutotraderGood morning chaps / this is my first post here <br /><br />I just took delivery of this 650cc Jimny from Japan - im hoping for some advice <br /><br />The car will be used for mainly off-roading however it will be driven on the road 30-45mins to the off roading area AND I need it to be a compromise between comfort, safety and GRIP - I’ll also be wanting to take my kids in the car so safety is the first priority <br /><br />I’m a off-roading novice so open to a road tyre suggestion that is ok for O-R But safe and grippy on road, especially in wet or winter conditions which are around the corner here in the north east of England.<br /><br />Currently it’s lifted (I don’t know how high - 3inches ?) and it has BF Goodrich all terrain tyres 225/75/16 on which being from Japan and are old - the compound is crack and very very hard - in wet conditions the maximum on the dual carriageway I could drive safely was around 45mph - before jumping and sliding around <br /><br />Thanks again guys, looking forward to getting her off road this weekend
