I've got them on my Series (and I sure didn't pay THAT for them).

More noise than the BFG MTkm. Not as comfortable on-road.
They are a TOUGH tire, many ply, designed for abuse.

If you want a mud tire, go for swampers. If you want street tires w/ light off-road use, go with BFG ATko's, or Dunlop Radial Rover R/T's. For 'normal' dual offroad-onroad use, go w/ the MTkm's.

If you're planning expeditions through inhospitable places, go with the XZL's.

IMHO, FWIW....

(They are a handsome tire on a Rover, tho'....)
