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.

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!

Great looking tires!

Bought 5 of them around June 2021, have about 35,000. moles on them. They're on a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Off Road 4x4 , ride nice even today with 35% of the tread gone. No excessive noise. Pretty quiet to be truthful. Won't hold gravel in the treads like All Terrain will. Definitely buy again

Had KM 2' on 3 trucks....love them. Bought a new trucks k in 2016 and immediately looked for a set of KM's. That year, the KM3 was new,purchased and installed. 7 years and 103,000 miles later looking for another set. This set still has miles left on them. Just time. Rotated every 5k and balanced every 15k or so. Never been let down in some of nastiest stuff the swamps of maryland can dish out.

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.

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.

Great tire, but pretty expensive now.

I've ran the 39x13.5r17 KM3s for 2+ years and over 40k miles on my Jeep Gladiator. I've put these tires through all kinds of terrains and weather conditions from dirt, sand, rock crawling, mud, rain, hail, rock crawling in thunder storms and they haven't let me down. I keep rotate them every 3k to 5k miles and they have worn evenly. The side walls have been holding up great and the side bitters have provided plenty of traction when needed. The light weight of the tires is also a plus. My only gripe is these tires have gotten fairly expensive since I purchased them in 2021. The price has increased roughly by about $250 per tire. They are almosted priced near the cost of some 42s. Well known competitors 40s don't even cost as much as these 39s. With that being said it opens the door to try some of the top competitor's tires for about $200 less per tire. These 39s compared to most 40s make the 39s look like 37s because of the actual size.

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.

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.

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).
