Worst tire ever
These tires are not able to be balanced( road force over 100) leading to terrible ride and handling. Replaced and still had the same issues. Surprised they have not been recalled for those issues. Terrible and unsafe tire.

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE TIRES
These tires are the worst tires I’ve ever bought. They’re dangerous in wet snow and ice. Last night on our way home the road was wet and the car in front of us slammed on their brakes to make an illegal turn. So I had to slam on the brakes and almost smashed into the back of them because the tires just slid. ABS was going crazy. I wasn’t too close to the car but because of their unsafe decision to stop and turn in the middle of the road it almost caused and accident. I originally went with these becase of the reputation of the KO2s. I heard that these were supposed to better than the KO2 and from everything I read on the forums and the reviews here and my personal experience I’d highly HIGHLY recommend against these tires. I’m very disappointed I spent my money on them and have to wait until I can save for a different set because we waited so long. But we got them at the end of the spring and didn’t experience them in wet traction until fall so we were well outside the 60 days by the time we experienced how crappy these are. If I could sue BFG for how horrible these are I would in a heartbeat.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the KO3 tires and understand your concern about wet traction. Your safety is our top priority, and we take feedback like this very seriously. While many factors such as road conditions, tire pressure, and vehicle setup can influence performance, we understand your frustration given the situation you described. A member of our Consumer Care will be contacting you. You can also give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Really great tires!
I had to replace my K0 tires since Mervis refused to mount a new old stock K0 replacement since it was over 5 years old, and the alignment they did on my 315 70R 17s was destroyed after 280miles. Seems they are unable to do large tire alignments. I shopped around online and purchased 5 new K03 to replace them from Amazon. Got free shipping and had them delivered and took them to Rice Tire, a commercial tire shop. They mounted and balanced them on my Black Rhino Rockwell's without issue. Great service! Since they have been on they have driven from Manassas, VA to State College, PA without issue twice. Smooth ride at 36psi, and have done a remarkable job on concrete, asphalt, gravel and dirt roads, in rain and snow! So far I give them an A+++++++++!
Always liked the All-Terrain T/A KO2's..The KO3's are even better. Aggressive look, great traction. White letters on the outside look great
Very good tire. Would reccomend to somonw else. Still waiting on the KO3 hat to be be available.
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.
Great looking tires, Bad riding tires.
Got these on my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500, 265/65 R18’s, they look awesome and do well in snow and ice, but good like trying to balance them, could not go over 60mph without bad vibrations, local tire shop added a ton of weight and smoothed out to about 65mph then vibrates bad again, took to dealer for a road force test and found each tire to be between 28lb-35lbs out of force except right rear which was a staggering 47 lbs out of force. No amount of weights could fix that oval tire. Out 1700$ now and had a set of Michelin Defenders put on, night and day difference. Buy anything else if you plan on driving highway speeds.
Ben, we appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear the Michelin Defender tires have provided a smoother ride but we’re sorry to hear about the vibration and balance issues you've had with the All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. BFGoodrich off‑road tires are designed with tighter beads to help prevent unseating when aired down, which makes proper mounting especially important. If a tire is not seated uniformly on the wheel, vibration can occur even if it appears installed correctly. If you'd like to discuss further, please give the Michelin Consumer Care team a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Long lasting
Our BFGs on our 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL High Tide edition. Size 315/75/17 were rotated every 5000 miles we have 73000 miles on them got a deal on some new ones . We probably could’ve gotten another 5000 miles yet .
Similar concerns with Balancing and Road/highway Noise
I'm a new BFGoodrich tire owner. Formerly Nitto tires. I was certain I'd be exceptionally pleased with improved performance across the board because of KO2 reputation. While hey look good and may perform well in rain & snow, haven't had any while I've been driving. But I have 1 big problem and its the same as so many others on this review forum. At least one of my times will not balance. The road noise and particularly the highway drone or osculation noise between 60 to 80 is bad. It is distinct and noticeable over the radio. I equally feel vibration in the floor panel and in my brake and accelerator pedals. I don't think all are bad but rather 1 from DOT: 1BEB4KP111725. Working to get a replacement. My autoshop wants to try to rebalance them again and says they can't find details on 60 day warranty (separate problem). But given the reviews I've seen of the similar problem with others, when they come to their senses I'm going to ask if they can find some KO2s that may still be in the local CO market. If I got KO3s again and there is another bad one, you can't exchange them again.
