I spoke to BFG (Michelin) 2 weeks ago. They are expecting late summer in Canada and US, not sure about Europe. Apparently there is a new certification of some sort that is being added to the actual casting mold of the tire. They were expecting availability late June, but production timing has fallen behind.
I'm eagerly waiting for 5 myself. |

Craddocks were showing them in stock 3 weeks ago.
There is a seller on ebay advertising them too. Chris |

I tried craddocks, paddocks, 4x4tyres, silver line and devon44. All said they couldn't get any until end of July early august. This goes for 265/75/16 as well. Told me the same thing that the km2 is being superseded due to euro regs.

I think the only alternative in 255 85 16 is the Maxxis Bighorn 762- I could be wrong?

I'm In the same situation, to be honest I'm thinking now it may be better to run them for the summer and then take them off and sell them for something different if they are not going to carry on making km2 in this size.

just range AJS4x4 as suggested. same story.
those Toyo tyres dont look half bad at all. anybody got 1st hand experience? id looked at the Maxxis Bighorn and those look like INSA Turbo type which I know will be great off road. |

Toyo OpenCountry MT - Same issues as BFG. No stock in all of europe. Hit by same EU reg changes.
Anyhow..... ive ordered Blindo Anthracite ET15 and Maxxis Bighorn 762 255/85/16. Happy days  |

Stock must be getting close. These were purchased in the US this week, with a manufacturing date of the 20th week of 2015, that was 5 weeks ago.
I've been holding out for a set for month. My tires are looking very thin in the tread department, hoping they last just little longer until I can get my hands on these.  Click image to enlarge |
