Endless vibrations

Like several other customers, I'm having trouble getting these tires balanced. After 3 regular balancing and 1 road-force attempt, the vibration at 65-70 mph just won't go away. Luckily, they are still under warranty. The tires don't even have 500 miles.

We're sorry to hear you're experiencing vibration concerns with your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires despite multiple balancing attempts. We understand how frustrating that can be. BFGoodrich designs its off-road tires with tighter beads to help prevent unseating in off-road conditions. We see you've already been in contact with our Consumer Care team and were advised to have the tires inspected by an authorized tire dealer. You may also wish to share this KO3 installation video with your dealer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZcVeJQaOc If you need additional assistance, please contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon-Fri 8 AM-7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM-1 PM EST).

They Won't Balance

Similar to many others here, I just bought a set of 295 / 65 R20 and they will not balance. Bad vibration starts around 40 MPH and gets worse as speed increases. About to replace them with a new set and see if we have the same issue. I have never had an issue with the KO and KO2 tires, but these KO3s seem to be notorious for this.

K02 VS K03 Tires

Garbage

I'm sitting here with two of my friends, we all have K03 tires and different trucks. They all shake the steering wheel at 75 mph despite multiple attempts to balance. We decided they are dogpoop tires. I wouldn't have these tires shoved up my worst enemies butt covered in beach sand. Do better... what a pile of crap these things are. Bruce Wylie

Thank you for your feedback, Bruce. We're sorry to hear that you and others have experienced vibration concerns with your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. While vibration can be caused by a variety of tire, wheel, or vehicle-related factors, BFGoodrich off-road tires are designed with tighter beads to help prevent unseating during off-road use. If the tires are not seated properly during installation, vibration concerns can sometimes occur. We recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized tire retailer and sharing this installation video with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZcVeJQaOc If additional support is needed, please contact our Consumer Care at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Great overall

I've been extremely happy with the BFGoodrich KO3 tires. I currently have just over 83,000 miles on this set and expect to get around 85k before replacing them. Most of my driving has been highway miles, and the tread has worn very evenly throughout the life of the tires thanks to regular rotations at every oil change. Performance has been excellent in all conditions. They've handled off-road trails, sand, and snow with confidence while still providing a comfortable and predictable ride on the highway. The combination of long tread life, even wear, and all-around capability has made these some of the best all-terrain tires I've owned. When it's time for a new set, I'll be buying another set of KO3s without hesitation.

Impossible to Balance

I cannot get these tires to balance at all. They have been road force balanced 3 times now and vibration still persists above 65 mph. They also make the classic whop whop whop noise at low to moderate speed that is typical of a tire that is out of round or balance. I've never seen a tire take 16 weights on the wheel and still vibrate. Will be attempting to exhange these for a set of Toyo or Nitto like I should have bought in the first place. These are a great looking tire but that's the only benefit.

We're sorry to hear you're experiencing vibration and balancing concerns with your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. While the KO3 is designed to provide strong off-road capability and traction, ongoing vibration is not the experience we want for our customers. BFGoodrich off-road tires feature tighter beads to help prevent unseating during off-road use, and in some cases improper bead seating during installation can contribute to vibration concerns. We recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized tire retailer and sharing this installation video with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZcVeJQaOc If additional assistance is needed, please contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Supposed to be better than the KO2, not sure I would agree.

Recently purchased these tires for my 2024 Toyota 4Runner. I have owned 4 sets of the KO2's in the past and raved about them to everyone. I was super excited to get a set of these as after reading the improvements that BFGoodrich had made to the tire, I didn't know how they could possibly make it any better than the KO2. Well it turns out, they really didn't. Currently this tire has right at about 2000 miles on it, I do not drive this vehicle daily as I have another vehicle to drive. These tires are loud enough on pavement, that it has me questioning if I have a bad wheel bearing or something going on in my front differential. It's really bad, and the drone I hear when driving has now gotten me to the point where I can't unhear it. I absolutely love how these tires look, and they do well enough in snow, I don't really off road the vehicle currently as I live in Colorado and the trails out here really require most of the time a lifted vehicle with larger tires. Currently stock, as the vehicle itself only has 2500 miles on it. I will be going to my local tire shop where I purchased the tires to try and exchange them. Disappointed as I have owned so many brands and types of tires over the years, and I work in the automotive industry, so I have a lot of experience with this stuff, but I can't overlook the noise. Also they have been balanced multiple times and still get a vibration at highway speeds. I think BFGoodrich should have kept the tire the way it was with the KO2. That tire was fantastic. Outside of how this tire looks on a stock 4Runner, which is sick, and the performance in the snow, I can't get behind it. Also in 265/70R17, the tire is 54.9 lbs, and the previous tire I had, a 285/70R17, both LT and both load range E, the larger tire only weighed 51 lbs. Smaller tire weighs more but is supposed to be quieter and wear better? Seems strange to me. Also tires are not cupping or low on air pressure. Just don't know what they actually changed that made this tire worse.

Awesome Tires!

So far these have been great tires. I replaced BF Goodrich K02, which were also great tires. They are very quiet and seem to grip the road well. The F-150 I have them on seems to much more stable with these new Tires. The traction seems good in the snow and rain. I always like the durability of the BF Goodrich All Terrain Tires.
