Quality????

Before these km3s, I had 33” km2. I drove them about 30,000 miles and they were still in normal condition. I drive my rig everywhere, snow, rocks, mountains, swamps and sand. On my old km2 , there was uniform tread wear everywhere . But the time came and I decided to switch to 35“ wheels. I've been choosing which wheels to put on for a long time. I really liked the km2, but they are no longer being released and I decided to try the new km3. I assumed that this is the same as km2, but even better. As a result, I bought a kit and installed new tires after I made the bodilift. I drove on new tires for about 3-4 months. Everything is fine on the highway, they are not very noisy. It also seemed to me that the new tires are already old km2, although both have a width of 12.50. Now I live in California and apart from stones and sand, I haven't tried anything. These tires drive normally on the rocks. But as soon as you get stuck in the sand and even after a slight slip of the wheels, the rubber begins to crumble. A very large wear of rubber begins and right before your eyes you can see that the tread is getting smaller. Also, the tread begins to fall off. I don't understand what kind of rubber quality it is. I used to do the same with km2 and this did not happen. I don't have a very powerful truck and the smoke from the wheels is not coming at this moment. I was just trying to drive through the sand uphill. But the way these tires are falling apart stops me. And I do not know how long these tires will last me. Maybe another 3-4 expeditions?!? That's terrible. I will have to buy another set of tires soon, but it will be a different brand.

Bought BF Goodrich tires again

I drive a 1979 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 that I have had for 30 years, and it has always had BF Goodrich tires on it. I first put All Terrains on it at 66,000 miles and have since put a total of 3 sets of All Terrains and one set of Mud Terrains KM's on it. I just put a set of Mud Terrain KM3's on it today (at 250,000 miles) as the previous KM's have become too old. I wasn't driving it much and not paying attention to the age of the tire and realized that they were 11 years old. Not once have I ever been stranded due to a tire related problem, The only time I have to use a jack is when I rotate the tires. I have been extremely please with all the tires, but even more so with these latest KM3's. Unbelievably quiet and smooth riding, There has been a huge change since the original KM. This will probably be the last set of tires I'll put on the vehicle but my grandson will probably enjoy them since he will be the next to own it.

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.

Not as advertised

I bought a full set of 5 for my Rubicon. I went with the LT315/70R17/ E 121Q tires. I wanted 35 inch tires and the Goodrich website stated these tires at 34.4 inches. I thought that was close enough. Got my tires and drove them for a bit and then thought I would just check the tire height. Imagine my surprise when I measure them fully inflated (37psi) at 33.0 inches even. Not even close to the 34.4 stated on the website. Love the tires, but wanted the tire height.

Off-road

I have had these tires on my 2013 Jeep wrangler Rubicon for 20,000 miles. They are the best tires I have purchased for on and of the road performance. On road performance they have great traction is Rain and Snow. Off-road performance these tires are great under pressure and when needed. I have used the tires on countless rock crawling trips and absolutely no complaints. Not too loud cruising down the highway (70mph) for a Mud-Terrain tire.

Over 5 years and 40k+ miles!!!!

Bought a set of the KM3s when they first came out. I had the first Land Rover Discovery 2 on KM3s in the USA. 5 1/2 years and 40k miles of wheeling from the swamps of Florida and everywhere else on the East Coast, they are ready to be replaced. No dry rotting, plenty of tread left, they have just worn a little funny (to be expected in a mud tire) and have gotten quite noisy. What am I replacing then with??? KM3s of course!!!! Best tire I've ever owned!!!

Not what they are hyped to be

I bought a set of the km3 and was excited . Ive always been a BFG fan ever sense the bfg km mt . Then the km2 came out and they worked amazing on road and off road and got lots of millage out of them and sore by if you wanted a radial mt tire the bfg km2 was the best for all purpose . Then when the km3 came out i got a set and honestly i was crushed by the performance . Sure highway road stuff they where fine . And gravel roads . But life span was stupid short and off road performance sucked . Mud not good . Slick stuff like clay and mushy snow not good . Sure in moderate rocks they worked but then a again a bald tire works for that as well . Needless to say i was disappointed in the km3 . My km2 i got 66,000 miles out of and the km3 i got maybe 20,000 out of them . These where both ran on the same truck . Ive also ran them on other trucks in my fleet as well ( personal fleet ) bring back the km2 and ill by them for every thing i own again also would be nice to get 39 kx back in blue label best rock tire the every day weekend warrior

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.

really soft

I bought a set of KM3s over the summer for my 2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax and have used them for mostly on road driving with 4-5 easy going offered trips. I have found that they have wonderful traction on rocks, mud, and snow but they are a little soft. My tires have 5k miles on them and I have massive chunks (entire lugs) missing from my rear tires. Each time I go crawling or off road driving they lose more and more. Overall a wonderful tire but haven't lasted me at all.
