Worst tires ever!

This is the 2nd new jeep I’ve owned that came factory with BF Goodrich tires and I couldn’t be more disappointed. My first was a 2019 jeep compass and tires were wore out at 30,000 miles. My newest jeep, a 2022 jeep wrangler came with these tires and at 35,000 miles they’ve become extremely noisy and the tread won’t survive another winter. I use to think Goodyear tires were the worst but Goodrich is pulling a close second. Will never buy them again.

Great tires, undersized, over priced

I’ve tried just about every off-road, AT, MT tire made over the years. I keep coming back to BFG for the quality tire that they are. Currently running the KM3’s on my Jeep Gladiator. These tires work great on road and are exceptional Offroad. The two main complaints I have, which is pretty standard on all BFG truck tires. Undersized for what size they advertise them to be. And I’m not talking about just a little bit. BFG’s are some of the worst about under sizing. ALOT. Once you get to the really tall tires, the prices are outrageous compared to their competitors. I’m in need for a larger size now and the BFG price is outrageous on 39’s (which are actually 37.75” tall supposedly) sorry BFG’s looks like I’m gonna have to go to your competitor after all these years

TexRec, we sense your frustration. The main issue here is related to how customers measure overall diameter vs. how the tire industry measures overall diameter. Most people put a tape measure next to their tires on their vehicle to measure the overall diameter. This way of measurement gives a reading smaller than the way the industry requires us to measure overall diameter. <br />The overall diameter is actually calculated with a tire mounted on the appropriate rim width as identified by T&amp;RA or ETRTO then inflated to 1.8 bar (26 psi). A calibrated measurement tape is run around the circumference of the tire in the center of the tread (which represents the largest overall diameter). This measurement of circumference is then divided by the mathematical constant known as PI (3.14126...) to calculate the diameter. We hope this helps.

Awesome mileage and off-road toughness/traction

I bought these for my 2017 Colorado ZR2 in 285/70/17 (E load) when they first came out in June of 2018. Overall, I got 66,000 miles out of them. They could have gone another 5k miles or so, but I believe I potentially got a slightly defective tire, as it has worn unevenly and is not perfectly round. Thus, there is now too much vibration to continue driving on this set. The other three tires in the set have worn and performed perfectly. The worst of the tires is pictured below. I always rotated the tires during oil changes. However, I elected to live with the “bad” tire and it was fine. It only became a problem in the last month due to the vibrations in the cab and steering wheel because of the imperfect shape. This was a very early set of KM3s so I’m not upset or surprised by this, as I think it is bound to happen. I took these tires to MOAB and on other off-road trails and they were very tough and had great traction. I’m giving 4 stars because the on-road ride quality leaves a bit to be desired, between the noise and vibration I experienced. I have since moved from CA to CO and need better snow traction. So I swapped out the KM3s for KO2s. Sticking with BFGoodrich!!! Don’t let my story stray you from these tires. Overall, they were awesome! I just have different needs now. I would also recommend a C load rating if you drive a smaller vehicle like mine. The E was a bit stiff for my truck (running at 38 psi).

Out performs every other tire

I have had these tires for over six months and put a considerable amount of miles on them in six months, between driving a lot of highway miles and a lot of off-road miles they hold up. all of my wheeling buddies run other competitive MT tires and none of them grip up nearly as well, I have used them in snow, mud, dirt, and slick rock, and I have not been impressed by the competition. KM3 is my go to tire for sure. also surprisingly quite at highspeed and around town.

Tough Tires and Supports the Community

During Moab Easter Jeep Safari BFG sets up a BFG Garage where there own mechanic team helps people with broken rigs get back on the trail, its an awesome way to support the event. Because of this, I was able to get my Jeep back on the trail during the event. Because BFG is always supporting the offroad community and makes a phenomenal product I just bought my second set ofI bought BFG tires. I had previously run KO2 and just bought these in a 37" for my Jeep JLUR. Great grip and very tough.

Miles of Confidence

I bought these KM3’s 2 months ago. So far they have been in the snowy mountains, icy pavement, heavy rain downpours on the highway, deep mud, and just recently sand. I have ran them at 50 psi with no sway and they absorb bumps well at speed. After 5k miles I project them to reach 65k miles... but that is a very very early projection. Anything over 50k miles and there is no competition in the mud terrain tire category.

Awesome tires

I had bfg ko2's and decided to get some mud terrains and went with the KM3. I am happy that I did because these tires perform better off road and look cooler too. These perform well on the street and in the rain. I used to put my truck in 4wd sometimes when it would rain a lot and the streets would get flooded but with the mud terrain km3's I don't have to. I have had these tires for about 18k miles, used mostly on the road, and they still look awesome and have plenty of life left on them.

Best mud tire on the market

I put a set of KM2s on my 08 Tundra a few years after I bought it and they were expensive but I believe they are the best quality mud tire on the market. They are a little noisy and they don’t do great on pavement but they are outstanding when you get in the mud and the way they make your truck look is just worth it IMO. After the KM2s eventually wore down after about 50k miles I went ahead and got some KM3s and they look even better than the 2s and I feel like they are a little quieter on the highway. Not to mention the 2 sets and over 100k miles over all kinds of misquite thorns and road debris, I’ve never had a leak in any of my BFGs so far. I can’t say the same about the Michelins on my Camry or the Goodyears on my Tacoma. And don’t settle for the cheaper Taiwan made Nittos either.

Confidentiality Sure!

I am the author of the previously titled Not Sure Yet review. We’ll I am pleased to tell everyone that after the remaining 3 tires were swapped and road force balanced, I am riding on a dream. Unfortunately I guess I got a bad lot of tires that seem to of had high spots on them. What those replace balanced it’s so nice to ride on new BFG‘s that are smooth, look great, perform great ad for a mud tire qiet on the road.

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.
