Re: Tyres
Glad you said that. I was going to rotate every 3K miles when I do an oil
change anyway, but I've seen some claims that the Mud Terrain is soft and
wears quickly, and others like you who say it lasts 40K + miles. Was there a
big difference between the Key Mud and the Mud Terrain that it replaced ?
The lug pattern looks very similar.

Re: Tyres
Some say the new KM are softer than the old MT and wear faster, but I've
only ground 6/32" off my set of five after 50,000 km - not bad.
The main change from MT to MT/KM was the addition of shoulder lugs that
wrap around to the sidewall. The voids on the outer lugs are also wider
for better mud-clearing. Tire installers report that the KM are easier
to balance than the old ones.
