Looking for that vintage jeep ride for your late model? Get a set of KO3s.

Good wet traction, great cornering, somewhat noisy, terrible ride. Worst set of tires I have ever purchased. Been balanced twice lots of weights, and still feel like a bad tire. I wish I had seen a true review prior to buying these. If you enjoy a good ride buy something else!

Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry you are experiencing this issue. BFGoodrich off-road tires are engineered with tighter beads to help prevent unseating when aired down for off-roading. This design makes proper seating during installation essential. In some cases, a tire may look correctly mounted but isn’t evenly seated against the wheel rim, which can cause balancing or performance issues. Please consult with your dealer to ensure that the proper lubricant is applied to both the rim flange and the tire bead during the mounting process. If you would like to discuss further, feel free to give our Consumer Care team a call. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Balance beads ko3

I see lots of reviews complaining about vibration. Some people also had this problem with the ko2s. I’ve had both now and always run balance beads. The rebalance every time the vehicle stops. I drive a 1000 mile trip 4 times a year at 80+ mph. Never had a vibration issue. Wet road handling is much better than the ko2. All around I’m very happy with this new design.

Couldn’t get them to balance properly

Terrible balancing problems. Just couldn’t get them to balance after 2 sets. For the price shouldn’t be a problem. KO2’s were the same but figured they may have fixed the issue. Went with Yokohama M/T GOO3’s. Awesome tire. Excellent performance in all conditions, durability and really quiet for an aggressive tread pattern. Balanced with no issues at

We are sorry to hear you had difficulty balancing your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires and we understand the frustration. BFGoodrich designs its off‑road tires with tighter bead construction to help prevent unseating during off‑road use, especially when drivers air down. Because of this design, proper seating is critical. In some cases, a tire may appear correctly mounted, but the bead may not be uniformly seated against the wheel, which can lead to issues such as vibration or balancing difficulties. We appreciate your feedback. If we can assist in the future, please give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Great except for very frustrating balancing issues

The tires would be everything they are supposed to be if you can get them balanced. Have been to dealer twice for balancing and stress testing. The vibrations between 40mph and 70 are horrible. The tests they ran showed 3 tires in the high 40's and one was a 3??? Doesn't say much for the BFG quality control. Very disappointing. With many similar reviews you would thing they would be acting to help, buy back replace or something.

Outstanding All-Terrain Performance

These KO3s exceeded my expectations from day one. The traction and handling are outstanding on both pavement and dirt, with zero road noise for an aggressive tire. They ride smooth at highway speeds and grip confidently in wet or loose terrain. The durability feels solid, and they look great on the truck—perfect balance of performance and appearance. After several trips hauling and off-roading, they’ve proven to be reliable and worth every penny.

Maybe Watch Out

When I first got them, they rode like rocks for the first 500 miles. For the last 5000 miles, and I put around 20k on them so far. I can now 1) hold an annulment and 2) can't keep them ball-ended. For the last 500 miles after my last serve, where I got everything taken care of, my mechanic told me my tires are chapping a lot already. I work with the Duke Line Crews, and I drive a ton, and I know I put a lot of miles on my tires, but for the money, I expect more from them.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. We’re sorry to hear they’ve been riding rough and showing signs of wear so early. KO3s are built with a tighter bead for off-road durability, which can sometimes affect ride comfort and balance if not installed precisely. Please have your dealer call us so we can discuss possible troubleshooting options to see if we can fix this issue with the help of your shop.

Vibration issues

I was excited to switch out my Geolanders on my 2017 Ford Raptor for a new set of K03s. 37x12.5x20s. Look great, much quieter but horrible vibration above 60 miles per hour. Had all 4 rebalanced 3 times at three independent tire shops with no improvement. 2k spent and pulling my hair out trying to figure out what to do. Be careful when you buy these, I wouldn't accept completion of installation until you've tested on the highway.

Great tires

I was referred to these tires from a dealer friend, and I have not been disappointed. These tires are quiet, even at high speeds. The ride is comfortable, even on dirt and backroads going to the cabin. I d rive a silverado 1500 and will buy these again. Traction is more than I expected, even with the big tread.

Great tire until HWY speeds.

2020 Tundra. As far as off-road, snow and city driving they are great tires. Issue is the tires are cupping really bad on the smaller inside lugs on all 4 tires. No other wear patterns or issues. Shop has balanced them twice and they still vibrate a little from about 55-65mph. Hoping BFG covers under warranty.

Worst tire I've purchased

Coming from the K02 I was excited about the new K03. That's being said I immediately regretted it. The tires were rebalanced 3 times with zero difference. The vibration from 15mph and up was drastic enough to have concern about actual damage to my F150 Raptor. Dealer on the 3rd try had something like 12 Oz of weights on it, which is absurd in itself. I really belive that BF Goodrich should pull this product from the market before a class action lawsuit happens in regards to damaged cars and truck from vibrating thier vehicle apart....yes that bad. I never really leave reviews but considering the price and major issues with this product I felt compelled to do so. Buyer beware...sorry BF
