i purchased a set brand new for my old c/k body style tahoe.
i loved them personally, had good road manners. and did very well in the sand and snow.
when the mud gets thick and sticky they have a tendency to clog up a bit, as the voids aren't huge. but anything with a V8 hopefully has enough power to clear them.
i would have to say to buy a set and you will be happy as long as your rig is an all around road driver/ weekend wheeler

I put a set of 33's on my wifes Jeep about 8 months ago and we've been real happy with them.
I've got them on my truck, I love them
I run the 265/70/17s on my 07 f150 and love them, they work well in snow and pretty much any terrain and thus far are wearing like iron...

Purchased my set not to long ago 
and I love them! They're decent in deep snow, and Ive heard nothing but good as far as having them on the rocks or in the loose dirt. They give off a low pitch hum at freeway speeds but it's no louder than the BFG ATs I had before. I wanted these mainly for the soft compound, deep treads, and the side biters so I wont have to be winched halfway up Hells Gate in Moab 
craptastic pics but here's my truck on 33x12.50s

Those are probably going to be my next set. Too bad 12.5 is the widest I can find them.
I ordered a set of 35x12.5x15s on december 2nd for the blazer i had, Jan 31 I went and got my money back cause they said it would be at least 2 more weeks before they were even sent out. Now I see every one running them and it makes me want a set even more. This is pure torture
I gotta get the Burnt burb running so I got something to put a set on.
I read reveiws on these for 2 hrs at work one night trying to find a bad one and never did. These will definately be my next truck tire (If they can make em fast enough
)

38s are 14.5" wide....
Really? I had really only planned on going 37 max but I guess an extra inch can't hurt
@buffblazer,what size tires are those?
I have had them, they are good tires. But if you are looking for more ass.. take a look at the RADIAL Swamper SSR. I'm on my second set ( 35x12.50) and love them... will not have anything else. Since they are radials.. the noise is not near as bad as most would think. I was suprised ... ride great and make about as much noise as BFG mudders. When most people think swampers... they think loud and rough....whcih is the case with the bogger and TSL, TSL SX. These SSR's are much better....

I run 31x10.5R15 KMs on my 82 (6.2, 700R4) Jimmy. By way of comparison, I run the same size KO ATs on my Wrangler.
The KMs do sing a little more, but what mud tire doesn't? That said, I'd do believe them to be quieter than any other mud tire. But so long as you have a radio in your truck, the sound is not much of a problem.
The AT KOs are better on ice, and in Colorado that's important. However, the difference isn't that great, especially when compared to the significant difference in snow handling; the KMs are MUCH better.
The KMs are also much better in rocks and (obviously) mud. No contest.
Inasmuch as the handling differences between a YJ and a K-5 are pretty obvious, I'd offer that the KOs handle better on dry surfaces. No doubt the greater contact patch is the deciding factor, as (I think) the sidewall construction is pretty much the same there.
I frequently drive up/down Colorado's Ute Pass, between Woodland Park and Colorado Springs. It's about a 7% grade from ~6100 feet to ~8500 feet in about 15 miles. Okay. Going up fast is a joke in either vehicle (the Jeep has the Low Output 2.5), but coming down (with gravity on my side), I can do a steady 50-55 mph without touching the brakes (provided that there are no police or flatlanders about) at all.
On the same route in the Jimmy and KM tires, 45 is about all that feels secure. When the KMs start to lose grip it's also a little more sudden; the KOs give you a little more warning.
I'd say that unless you exist only for frame rails-deep mudding, the KMs would probably work for you. If bogging is what you do, then the KMs are probably too mild.

I wonder how these compare to the Hmmwv MTRs. I know they don't fit since I don't think they make these in a 16.5.
