I had my 255/80/17 KM2's in under a week so they can't be that backordered. These are a pretty damn rare size and my dealer had no problem locating them. A lot of it depends on how motivated your tire guy is.
It's more to do with the more popular sizes I think. I finally got my new 285/70/17s last week. I had to wait 4 months as there were none to be had anywhere. I checked all the on-line stores as well as the local shops. It seems that BFG did not realize how popular these tires were going to be.
I replaced my first set after approx. 34k miles, but I bet I could have gotten close to 40k. Not bad for a mudder.
