Worst tire
Worst tire ever I live in northern Michigan and I bought them for my 2015 Yukon Denali, and they suck in all weather conditions I’ve been in , snow slush ice you name it they sucked. They also have an odd shake at 50 mph and when I contacted bfg they stated they could not help me. I would not recommend these at all to anyone

Great tires!
My husband was so excited to put these on his truck. He’s a big fan of Goodrich tires and these live up to the brand reputation! We’ve had a lot of snow recently and they have been wonderful!
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.

Good both on and off road.
This tire came on a Sprinter camper van I purchased and more than impressed. Worked great on steep (12-15% grade) gravel road and even more amazing was how smooth and quiet the ride was at 75 mph on the highway.
Terrible for 4Runner
I've run BFG on all my trucks and never an issue, had kO2's on my 4runner - ran fine. Got the KO3's - they were hard to get balanced -they needed so many weights I ordered one ounce weights to avoid sixteen weights wrapped around the inside of the rim- finally the Lexus dealer was willing to help - they balanced all 4, it rode great. Got the tires rotated - it's been horrible. Took it back to the Lexus guys - had to road force balance at 28 lbs. The vibration is terrible currently. This has been a horrible experience.
Awesome Tires!
I replaced my General Grabbers because I couldn't stand to drive my truck anymore. Nobody could ever get them balanced. I immediately noticed a huge improvement with the KO3's. Great traction, soft, smooth ride, and quiet. BFGoodrich hit a homerun with these tires!
Great looking tires
I was so excited when I received these tires, unfortunately they were the wrong size for my vehicle. I tried contacting support but that was about 2 months ago so I will update my review within the next couple of weeks hopefully since I haven't tried out the product yet but we're working on getting new wheels to fit them so we can put them on the SUV. Thank you Influenster!
Reliable tires for trucks and SUVs
The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 - LT265/70R17 LRE is a top notch all terrain tire for light trucks and SUVs. With CoreGard Technology ensuring robust sidewalls and traction bars in the tread for exceptional performance on various terrains, it's a reliable choice. I received this product from Influenster in exchange of my honest opinion.
So good!
These are awesome tires! We usually buy a different brand but after driving on them for awhile we will definitely buy these again! Great traction, low road noise for how chunky they are and they are great in the snow and rain.
Perfect In All But One Way!
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.
