Best tire I've ever bought for on and off road

I bought these tires a few years ago. Pro's: They are quiet for a mud terrain tire. Excellent traction in snow. I was plowing through 12" deep snow effortlessly. Any deeper and I will be pushing snow with my front end. They also worked well in total ice too. Drove all over Colorado mountains in the winter with no issues. They shine is the soupy snow too. This is where the mud design come into play I can take highspeed turns no issues. Rain no issues. I do test my braking in adverse conditions i.e. press hard on the brakes and see if they slide. This give me a gauge to my stopping distance. Con's: They will cup if you don't rotate the tires often. My tire store offers free rotation every 3,000 miles. They are an aggressive tire with a softer compound and will wear faster. So don't expect 50,000 miles.

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.

Worst on winter driving with snow and wear

Good in mud and loose soil. Terrible in snow and always get irregular wear well before the tread is used up, even with frequent rotation and alignments. These wear my second set and I will not be purchasing a third set and going with a competitive tire company.

Great tire for off-road and on-road.

I've seen a lot of reviews talking about they wear fast, I'd like to point out that for a tire to grip it must be soft, sticky compound. Yes they are gonna wear, don't expect 50k miles, Expect 20-25k tops. But let me tell you, I have never seen a tire perform so well in the mud and on rocks. These things just boss whatever I throw at it off-road. They have a great ride on-road, but off-road, aired down to 12-15psi, it's a whole other world. Such a good ride off-road aired down. The KM3's are just outright amazing. They have never let me down. Watch my video, the mud at the bottom of this water hole is texas clay, it's the slipperiest stuff known to man and these tires, man I have no idea how they do it but it just keeps going! My hummer and jeep will have BFGoodrich Mud-Terrains for life. The KM3's are absolutely awesome! Watch the video of my 7200lbs hummer h2 and my son's jeep hitting the same mud hole. The results speak for themselves!

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.

12 uears and still rolling

I bought a set of 4 35x12.5x15 km2's in 2010. The truck sat for 4 for the last 12 years but easily over 60k miles hardball driving and 10k miles off roading or mudding and i still have ¾" worth of tread. Upgrading to km3's soon and hear they are better than the km2's. Extremely happy with this tire design. Lasts forever

Docgreeny, this is awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your comments. Just a word of caution though, we recommend replacing tires after 10 years strictly due to age, regardless of the tread remaining.

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.

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.

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.

Zakhar, we are sorry to read of this situation. The first step is for us to obtain an inspection of the tires from an authorized BFGoodrich retailer. A member of our team will be in touch to work with you and your dealer on initiating a warranty claim.

Awesome tire, so happy 117K miles

I have always had KM2's on my trucks. Bought a new Chevy LTZ in 2016. Put a set of of KM3's on this vehicle in 2017. Still on the truck, 117K miles and still going. Will be replacing this month with the the same. I have been across sloppy goose fields, snow, water logged roads. Loving this tire. Rotated every 5K, rotated and balances every 10K. Cany wait for new set.......keep on miling!
