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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Phenomenal tire! Took them out the first time and have nothing but compliments. The traction is insane. They are super quiet down the road compared to my Nitto Ridge Grapplers. No issues balancing either. 12/10 recommend

Just gad new sett put on sierra 3500, horrible vibrations over 45mph. Road force balanced twice still vibrating to point of nausea. Biggest regret ever total waste of money

With vehicles today all having oversize tires prone to hydroplaning, tires like these are a must. Under rainy or snowy conditions, these tires make the pickup a much safer vehicle to drive.
