It has been a long time. I was starting to wonder what happened to you. I can't help you on the tires. Cheers.
Desert tire recommendations
Hey guys,
Been a while! Haven't really been on the forum since I got back from the grand canyon trip this fall, we had a brutal and early winter so all the good riding was snowed in by Nov 1. Rode some of the lower stuff later in the winter with chains on all 4. Pic below, fun, but different tire for winter.

Anyways, I currently run (in the the summer) 32x10x14 BFG KM3's, and while they are a good tire, looking for some improvements. The KM3's have had 2 catastrophic sidewall punctures, which I should note is the only 2 i've ever had, but in theory that could be really bad luck.
Needs:
-Tough tire that can handle sharp rock, shale, desert scrub etc,
-Good on rock. (KM3's were fine here)
-Tire that has good high speed stability, and can handle high load transitions at speed. (KM3's are okay here, looking for improvement. For comparison something like the ITP Terrahook (great tire elsewhere) is horrible here.
-Competent on the streets up to highway speeds (KM3 was great here)
-Acceptable in light mud/snow (KM3 was fine here)
-32x10x14 or 32x11x14 (wish there were options in an 11 width- KM3's only measure out at 9" wide, would like more width for more traction)
What I really want is a KM3 that is better in higher speed stuff, especially with cornering and lateral traction.
