Does anyone else have problems with their 35s rubbing with with enough force at full lock to bring the vehicle to a stop? All these look great but due to the rub I'm thinking of going smaller next round

No rubbing on mine, could be back spacing issue. My rims are 15x10 with 2.75 backspacing. I have run spacers with other rims to address the issue, depending on how far off you are...maybe 1.25 or 1.50" billet aluminum wheel spacers would resolve the issue.

you can also adjust the steering stops on the knuckles to reduce the rubbing

I've been looking at 35" MT's as well with 15" rims.

I keep coming back to the newer Maxxis MT772. There is not a ton of reviews but the ones I have read were good...

http://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-516-razr-mt-mt-772

I just put a set of these (35x12.5r-15) on my 77. They replaced Goodyear MTR's that I loved. I got them at 4Wheel Parts Black Friday sale for $890 out the door. So far I've only driven them on the road. They ride and handle better at 75 mph than the MTR's but are slightly noisier, but not that bad for such an aggressive tire. They balanced with minimal weight. Wasn't a big factor for me, but they look awesome too.

Another disappointing discontinue... IMO, was the BFG Mud T/A 35x12.50

I think they still make them in one or two smaller sizes but haven't made 33s or 35s for some years. I had three sets - they were fairly quiet yet aggressive for mud, sand, snow. One of the best tires I've owned.

That KM2 is a different tire than the mud terrain. its a more aggressive tred with bigger and deeper lugs. I know what lovinbroncos means about the mud terrain

KM2 seem far less aggressive than the earlier mud terrain. All of my Buddy's complained about that in fact back in the day.

I looked at them on 4WP and the Falkens are still about $30 cheaper per tire.
