Mine are BFG MT KO2 bought New in 2016 I think so very old.
They still have thread life in them but will be changed next spring as they are way too slippy now. Remember I live in a cold-ish country. where I live the average temp is about 12C during the season these tyres are used. Would never use them in the winter, would be a suicide.

Nordic Winter tyres only from now october until april
No probs. Do you mean KM2? Like the ones on the ops vehicle? The KO2 is the currently All Terrain.

Well worth joining if you lane. Or even get a group of mates to club together. Don't think the annual cost is that high.

Has all the rights of way across England & Wales listed along with their current status and comments from people who have driven them recently. Very handy in checking out where you can or can't drive.

When I had that size tyres I found 20 to 23 psi in all four works well 
Maybe you are over inflating them

Sounds like you bought the wrong Jimny. Lifted Jimnys handle badly. Mud tyres aren't great on wet roads. A standard Jimny is perfectly adequate for most green lanes and will also comfortably do motorway speeds and be safer for family duties.

Yes KM2, my bad. ( Got the KO2 as well..) 
It is the latter thread pattern. Had the earlier pattern on some horrible cheap copy tyre before these, so that makes me think these are from 2018 most likely. I can check to find a date on them some day.
