BFG KM2 Daily Driver Tire Wear

BFG KM2 Daily Driver Tire Wear
Does anyone who's gone with the KM2's have them on a daily driven truck? I'm torn between going BFG AT or KM2. I play mostly in south florida sand and some mud but only on some weekends and maybe the occasional after work trip to a fishing hole before dark. But M-F I drive 50 miles round trip to and from work on I95 (65-75 mph). Not to worried about noise (I want to be able to talk in the truck but want traction too.) But I am concerned about tire wear of the KM2. I know people with the AT and if you take care of them (rotate and all) they last a good long while.
Anyways, anyone with KM's drive a lot of highway miles on them, how do they wear ?
Thanks,
Dave

I've got 15k miles on my daily driver F150, they are 35x12.50R18 KM2's.
I rotate them every 3k miles and keep them at a pressure that allows good contact and they are wearing great. When I measured a weak or two ago I had just a hair over 3/4 tread left, still plenty deep. So if you're worried about wear, don't be. They wear just as good as, if not better than any other mud terrain I've used.
I would grab a picture but my truck is elsewhere right now.

Basically, as good, maybe better, than the old KM's that EVERYONE has ran at one point or another. GREAT tires, I'm on my 4th set of KM's now, and KM2's are going on before winter.
Are any of you KM2er's siped? I'm only concerned with high speed standing water...I've had GREAT experience with unsiped KM's and MT/R's, just wondering how the KM2's compared. *GREAT meaning better than any all terrain I've ever owned..no hydroplaning.
Thanks for the reviews Guys.

Awesome thanks for all the replys. I think I'm gonna go with a 3in Body lift and some 33" KM's then. I have run BFG AT's in the past on my old (83) F150 but never went the MT route. As long as I can get some life out of them it will be easier to justify to the wife LOL And should make it easier to get to some fishing holes and maybe even find some new ones !
thanks again !
thanks again !

i have had mine for a while now and cant complain. maybe 15,000 miles on them... a little more then ten on my truck and a few thousand highway miles from my brothers truck. nothing about the wear is alarming. look new still. on average i normally rotate them every thousand miles. keep the air pressure right.
they have some extra siping on the first 7 or 8 32nds of the tread. havent worn through it yet. no problems with hydroplaning where i wasnt expecting it.
solid tire!
i love mine
Michelin is the ****! wouldnt buy tires made by anyone else

A good friend of mine had 35x12.50 on his full size dodge. If I didnt see the tires you really would never know you have a set of mudders on it. The only time you feel them is when your at really really slow speeds. And even then there is only a slight vibration. He had Pro Comp Xterrains on there before and love them, but he said that the ride was sooo much worse with that directional tread pattern.
