So far, the KO3's have proven to be worth their premium price-tag. They ride very smooth, perform beautifully off-road, and are very quiet on the highway (a big selling point after some noisy AT tires from a competitor). My ONE complaint, and it is a big one, is that these tires are not available in anything lighter than an E-rating for 16" wheels (the factory wheel size on most Tacomas). I drive a '21 Tacoma that I primarily use as an "overlander," and while a tough AT tire is appreciated for the moderate off-roading I do with it, a heavy E-rated tire feels like overkill 99% of the time. The weight of these tires significantly impacts the truck's everyday performance. At nearly 50 lbs per tire, they sap the truck's power and tank its already not-so-great gas mileage. Really, I'm mostly annoyed because 16" wheels are an incredibly common size amongst Tacomas, and I feel like the demand for 265/70/16 or 265/75/16 tires would be significant enough to warrant a lighter, C-rated tire that's better suited for everyday use.

I have been a long time user of All-Terrain T/A's because they are simply the best tires. I actually take my pickups and SUV's off-road and flats and tire failures are not an option. I have never had an issue with the many sets of All-Terrain T/A's that I've bought over the years. These KO3's, so far, are no exception. I've got about 3K miles on this set and they are just as good, if not better, than ever. They are just as at home on the highway as they are on a mountain trail. Driving in downtown Austin or up the panhandle hunting whitetails, they are stable and tough and they look pretty good, too.

These tires have proven to be worth their premium price-tag, mostly! They are comfortable and quiet on-road (a big selling point after running some noisy AT tires from a competitor), and extremely capable off-road! My ONE gripe with the KO3 is that they are only offered as an E-rated tire for 16" wheels, the standard wheel size of most Tacomas. Despite using my truck regularly for moderate off-roading, I feel like the E-rating is overkill for a midsize truck like the Tacoma. This is a HEAVY tire with a stiffer sidewall that significantly impacts the trucks every day drivability. At 50lbs per tire, the truck feels more sluggish and its already not-so-greatly gas mileage has gotten worse. Surely I am not the only one who wishes a lighter, C-rated tire was available in our 265/70 and 265/75 16" sizes!

I have been running these tires on my truck since just after I bought it in 99, All-terrain, ko, ko2 and now ko3. They are simply the best tires I have ever owned. They ride beautifully, provide excellent traction on almost any terrain. Their performance on wet and snowy roads is phenomenal. I will continue to run BF Goodrich tires on all my rigs. I trust them.

Bought a set of KO3's for my F350 in January. Truck vibrated badly on the freeway. Took it back and had them road force test them. 2 of the 4 they could not get to a reasonable number. Ordered two replacements. Only one of those were passable. Went in yesterday to get the last replaced, now it's worse than ever. Entire truck shakes on the freeway. In summary, 3 of 7 tires have been passable and I'm still working on the last one. Big mistake buying these tires. Should have went with K02's.

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.

Simply put, most all of the 1 star reviews seem to be from people with newly mounted tires that have balance issues. A good tire shop familiar with BFG's and 8-12 ply tires is a must. These need a good quality Paste (lots of it) when mounting to ensure a bead seal and also road force balance (without rushing thru it because they are a trying to max the number of tires sold that day). I spent quite a while in the shop waiting and watching the install, but it was worth it. That said, all Tire Companies sometimes have an imperfect one come off the line, but in that very rare situation a good shop will spot it and stop the install and order a replacement (not put it on anyway knowing it was not right). I have had no issues with mine at any speed and I love the grip, low road noise and overall feel of these tires. Plus, they look super cool ! Very happy with my choice and confident they will last for years.

I had a set of KO2 tires and though the KO3's would be just as good...WRONG. They will not balance. I've had them road forced over 5 times. Anything over 65 causes bad vibration in the steering wheel and so bad that you can feel it through a padded leather seat. I have Nitto trail grapplers on my other truck and they are much better and even quieter. These also have terrible wet traction. Will be going with Nitto for all tires in the future.

Issues with 315/70R17 F rated tires I recently got: 1. Cosmetically, there's quite a bit of flash on 3/4 tires. Not something I notice typically, but it's bad which makes me question manufacturing of these. 2. 2/4 tires took over 10oz of weights to balance. My previous KO2s on the same rims took less than 4oz. 3. Even with road force balancing, they still vibrate more than my KO2s. 4. Road noise is similar to KO2s. 5. Wet traction is why I bought these and they seem barely any better than the KO2s they replaced, which were pretty bad in wet/slush/ice. 6. They did great in the snow. Swapping them out for D rated ones in a few days. Hopefully that solves the balancing issue. Guess I'll just deal with subpar wet performance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These off road tires are perfect for looks and performance. They are not loud on the road and can handle all terrain in any weather. The KO3s are a step up from the KO2 and not only look great, but are great quality. We received so many compliments on the tires so far and they really make a difference compared to the stock tires on the truck. We have driven in rain and snow, on gravel, dirt, and highways and are impressed by the performance!
