Great overall

I've been extremely happy with the BFGoodrich KO3 tires. I currently have just over 83,000 miles on this set and expect to get around 85k before replacing them. Most of my driving has been highway miles, and the tread has worn very evenly throughout the life of the tires thanks to regular rotations at every oil change. Performance has been excellent in all conditions. They've handled off-road trails, sand, and snow with confidence while still providing a comfortable and predictable ride on the highway. The combination of long tread life, even wear, and all-around capability has made these some of the best all-terrain tires I've owned. When it's time for a new set, I'll be buying another set of KO3s without hesitation.

Great tire

Only 700 or so miles on them so far on my 2025 Tacoma. For a 10 ply tire they ride awesome! There not stiff and handle great. Very quiet to for a more aggressive tread pattern. But time will tell. So far very happy I put them on my truck.

Massive vibration problems

These tires had massive vibration problems out of the box. The tire shop road force balanced them 3 times, and could never get under 30 even with a ton of weight. The tires vibrated so badly at 70mph that my truck was literally un-drivable. I felt like I was driving paint shaker. I ended up doing a warranty return only 500 miles in and exchanged for some Nitto Terra Grappler G3s, which are smooth as glass. I don't know if BFG is currently having manufacturing issues or what, but the issues I experienced seem to be alarmingly common amongst other customers in the last few months. I would stay far away from this tire until they figure it out. It's a shame, because I was once a loyal BFG customer from the KO2 days. Seems something went horribly wrong with these new KO3s.

Supposed to be better than the KO2, not sure I would agree.

Recently purchased these tires for my 2024 Toyota 4Runner. I have owned 4 sets of the KO2's in the past and raved about them to everyone. I was super excited to get a set of these as after reading the improvements that BFGoodrich had made to the tire, I didn't know how they could possibly make it any better than the KO2. Well it turns out, they really didn't. Currently this tire has right at about 2000 miles on it, I do not drive this vehicle daily as I have another vehicle to drive. These tires are loud enough on pavement, that it has me questioning if I have a bad wheel bearing or something going on in my front differential. It's really bad, and the drone I hear when driving has now gotten me to the point where I can't unhear it. I absolutely love how these tires look, and they do well enough in snow, I don't really off road the vehicle currently as I live in Colorado and the trails out here really require most of the time a lifted vehicle with larger tires. Currently stock, as the vehicle itself only has 2500 miles on it. I will be going to my local tire shop where I purchased the tires to try and exchange them. Disappointed as I have owned so many brands and types of tires over the years, and I work in the automotive industry, so I have a lot of experience with this stuff, but I can't overlook the noise. Also they have been balanced multiple times and still get a vibration at highway speeds. I think BFGoodrich should have kept the tire the way it was with the KO2. That tire was fantastic. Outside of how this tire looks on a stock 4Runner, which is sick, and the performance in the snow, I can't get behind it. Also in 265/70R17, the tire is 54.9 lbs, and the previous tire I had, a 285/70R17, both LT and both load range E, the larger tire only weighed 51 lbs. Smaller tire weighs more but is supposed to be quieter and wear better? Seems strange to me. Also tires are not cupping or low on air pressure. Just don't know what they actually changed that made this tire worse.

Wont balance

Mounted on 2021 gmc at4 hd. Tires have enough weight on their to fish for a lifetime. Had them balanced twice and one roadforce balance. Same issue. Vibrates in rear. steering wheel wobbles. So its more then one with a issue. Ruined a 100k truck that drove like a dream with the factory goodyears now has a massage feature throughout every seat. Terrible tires ad bfgodrich should reimburse the customers.

We are sorry to hear you are experiencing vibration issues. BFGoodrich designs its off-road tires with tighter beads to prevent unseating. This is critical especially when tires are aired down for off-roading. Because of this feature, problems might arise if the tires aren’t seated properly. The tires may look installed correctly but the tires sometimes won’t be seated uniform against the wheel edge. We recommend consulting with your dealer to ensure the proper mounting lubricant is used and asking them to reference the BFGoodrich Guide to Mounting Performance Tires video for best practices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZcVeJQaOc If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to give our Consumer Care team a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

After 10,000 Miles on Alaska Snow and Ice...

On my 2024 Colorado LT, these KO3's with the 3PMSF symbol have provided relatively sure-footedness in snow and most ice conditions. The rubber compound has proven itself in our cold weather, which have been at or below 0 degrees F. The only drawback to them on my Colorado are a stiff ride in the rear -- requiring me to slow down when encountering rutted and 2 or more inches of thick ice on Anchorage streets and our Glenn Hwy. Need to slow down to 45 mph in rutted ice conditions. Are they as good as dedicated and siped snow tires? No. Are they good enough for winter driving once you know their few limitations? Yes -- definitely. A solid 4 to a 4.5-star rating.

A Great Tire that needs a Good Tire Shop to install

Simply put, most all of the 1 star reviews seem to be from people with newly mounted tires that have balance issues. A good tire shop familiar with BFG's and 8-12 ply tires is a must. These need a good quality Paste (lots of it) when mounting to ensure a bead seal and also road force balance (without rushing thru it because they are a trying to max the number of tires sold that day). I spent quite a while in the shop waiting and watching the install, but it was worth it. That said, all Tire Companies sometimes have an imperfect one come off the line, but in that very rare situation a good shop will spot it and stop the install and order a replacement (not put it on anyway knowing it was not right). I have had no issues with mine at any speed and I love the grip, low road noise and overall feel of these tires. Plus, they look super cool ! Very happy with my choice and confident they will last for years.

Impossible to balance, extremely disappointing

Bought a full set of 5 for my truck, was very excited after seeing reviews compared to other brands in the same class. Had them delivered mounted and balanced on a new set of wheels and tires from Tire Rack. Put them on the truck, made it about 2min down the road before I felt vibrations. After hours of back and forth with TR and hundreds spent on balancing and road force, they still couldn't be balanced. Infuriating and disappointing. I returned them and swapped to a different brand in the same class and they run absolutely fine, as do the factory set.
