Good tire

Noisy tire, I have gotten a lot of miles out of them. I have gotten 70,000 miles out of these tires.

Horrible tread life

I ran these on a ram 2500. Loved the tires the are quiet, handle well, and do good in the mud and even snow. However at 21000 miles they were to within 2/32 of the wearbars. I wanted to run them again but at 1600 a set I couldnt take the chance with the treadwear I experienced. They wore flat and even just extremely fast

Exxcellent tire

I had these tires and after 40,000 miles they still had 20-30% tread life left. Rotations are critical with these tires i found and needed to be done at about 5000 miles. Just slightly more road noise then my KO2's were but did get louder as they got older. they worked great in all offorad contions, sand, snow, rocks. On the road they were also very good but needed a little more attention in the rain but its a M/T so expected.

Great look, terrible tread wear

The KM3's look sooooo good, and they preform well on dirt but.......the tread wear has been horrendous. I have about 14,000 miles on them and they cup so bad. I have some knobs that don't even touch the ground. I have to rotate them every 2000 to 4000 miles other wise the treads get so cupped out that the truck vibrates. I can feel each tread lug knocking on the asphalt. I even had my truck realigned just to eliminate that as a possible cause for the early wear and I still only got a couple thousand miles out of them after a fresh alignment before I had to rotate the tires again. The tread overall has worn out fast and is noticeably smaller also. Really disappointed and not sure where to go from here with these.

Excellent Tires!

I have been running KM3's on my vintage Land-Rover, hitting tough trails deep in Death Valley for a couple years now. My drive just to get to DV is about 500 miles, and I am doing some other highway miles locally. The desert performance is great. DV is famous for shredding tires, but I have had no problems. I am stunned by the low wear on pavement. Highly recommended. Most of my L-R buddies "in the know" are running them.

Lasted from Mexico to the tip of Argentina and back!

We replaced our aging K02's in Oaxaca, Mexico with a set of KM3's and they took us exploring offroad through the jungles of Central America to the great Paracas sand dunes of Peru to the Bolivian and Brazilian Amazon jungle. Had enough tread to make it back to the USA. Shocked they lasted that long on our heavily loaded Land Cruiser.

Overland 4runner
5 out of 5 stars review

100k from 33 12.5 17s!

Daily driven mud terrain in a fully armored 4runner weighing about 5600 lbs empty and about 5900 lbs loaded up. 45psi on street and 8 - 17psi off road, rotated w spare every 5000 to 7500 miles. Alignment on point. Stay on top of pressure. Once they start cupping from low psi or alignment, they likely won't correct themselves. Start getting noisey when reaching end of life. Hope km3s will be as good.

Not too happy

Bought a set of 4 km3's, and the front left wore bald and nobby...had truck balanced and aligned, the day they were put on..had it checked out again to make sure nothing with suspension broken...nope..so now I'm buying another tire...and obviously it won't have same wear as my others...and I don't like that..

Amazing tires for both on and off road.

First KM3, previous was KM2 and still love them! I have 35x12.5x15 on my ‘08 JKU and absolutely love the tires. Out in Las Vegas but hardly driven in town almost all miles are highway and trails/offroad. Few gravel “roads” and have never had an issue. They hum almost as good as your wife but not that bad. They are a mud terrain so it is a given. Never had issues with traction and have been in a variety of gnarliness off road. I won’t buy any other brand of tires for my rig. Just wish they were cheaper. But got to pay to play.

Feels Quite a Bit Different from the KM2s

I used to have K2s before I got my 285X70R17 KM3s. Here are some differenced I have observed: The KM's are noticeable wider than the KM2s. I did not measure the width of my KM2s, but I had to cut the stops on the tailgate for the spare tire on my Jeep JK by about 3/8" for the tire to fit onto the spare tire holder. So I would say the KM3s I have are about 3/4" wider on the sidewall than the same size KM2s I replaced. This is not a complaint - I just thought I would share my observation. The KM3s feel "squishy" compared to the KM2s. I am running them at the same 37 psi as the KM2s. The "squishy" feeling is very noticeable on turns and the Jeep rolls much more than it used to. The steering response also seems to be diminished. When I make a sharp turn, there is a very brief, but noticeable delay in the vehicle responding, and when it does, it feels like it is grabs. The KM3s have a different noise than the KM2s. The KM3s have a higher pitched hum than the KM2s. This higher pitched hum is mildly annoying. I have read that the tires get noisier over time. Hopefully, the noise will not increase too much. I realize these tires are more intended for off-road use as opposed to highway or city driving. I have not tried them on the trail yet.
