Has anyone run these tires in the winter? Was wanting to buy a set for winter but have not been able to find anybody that has run these. Any help or feed back would be great Thanks in advance

They have a little siping so they maybe better on ice the the KMs, you can add more siping and they do a bit better.

I have the KM2s and we just had about 2wks of snow/ice storms here, I really was impressed with the tires. I aired them down a bit to 25-30psi all around and they did awesome in the loose snow, also good on packed snow. Nothing other than studs/chains do decent on ice so don't expect any tires to help much in that area.

They are fine in the snow but wear terrible, espesially on stock width rims.

3 of us bought tires at the same time, I bought BFG A/t's and my 2 friends got BFG Mud T/a's on their Dmxes. Roughly the same amount of miles and my tires are in way better shape than theirs.

They ride terrible after awhile even with normal rotation.

Maybe a wider rim would help?

My guess is the stock width wheels are causing your problems. I have 285/70/17s on 17x9s and I have ~10k on them right now, they are worn evenly and look great.
