Great tire, comfortable ride and very quiet for an all terrain tire.
Balancing issues
I'm a retailer and these have serious balancing issues.
Chad, sorry to hear you are experiencing balancing issues with your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. BFGoodrich designs its off-road tires with tighter beads to prevent unseating. This is critical especially when tires are aired down for off-roading. Because of this feature, problems might arise if the tires aren’t seated properly. The tires may look installed correctly but the tires sometimes won’t be seated uniform against the wheel edge. We recommend consulting with an authorized dealer for an inspection and to ensure that the proper lubricant is applied to both the rim flange and the tire bead during the mounting process. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

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).

Buyer Beware
I bought these tires after my previous set had worn down, although I achieved 70k miles from them it was time for a change. I had ran a set of the KO2's some time ago and didn't have much bad at all to say, so I tried these new KO3 series ones out. I got these in October, it's now January. I'm from MI, where we don't have the snow we used to but still get a fair amount. I fully REGRET wasting my money on these! Have less than 10k on them, an spent more time stuck or in a ditch than actual driving this winter. Even in 4wd, these tires have left me stranded several times. They seem to wear incredibly uneven, despite a brand new alignment as well as an entire front end in the truck. I hate to say this, as my KO2's really never gave even half the issues my KO3's seem to. In the region we have seen days of just 2" or so of snow, and others with 6"+ of snow. Wet heavy snow, to fluffy light powder. Every. Single. Time. I end up staying home. I will no longer be running these tires on my truck, I do not trust them nor feel safe with them. Even in the rain before winter, these struggled to maintain traction. Huge disappointment! Why are we promoting and charging top dollar for a tire that can be outperformed by a highway tire?!
We appreciate your review and we're sorry to hear your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires haven't performed well in winter conditions. A member of our Consumer Care team will reach out shortly. In the meantime, feel free to call us at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Not Like Original KO
These tires are top notch worst I have put on a truck. Engineering from the original KO’s appears to have been negated. Reduced tread on the road. No longer a shoulder protection of sidewall. No longer is the tread square for shoulder to shoulder at all pressures. The tire now crowns after 50 psi on a load E tiire.KO 3 are junk just like KO 2. go back to the original KO design! I retained my original KO to compare.

Needed the 3PMSF Snow Flake for where I’m heading!
I owned KO2’s on my 2021 Chevy Trail Boss LT and I loved them. Great wet traction and stopping power. Main reason I bought them was for winter driving and they did not disappoint. Just bought a new 2026 LT Trail Boss that came with mud tires. Heading for the ADK’s in upstate NY the end of January. Upgraded my tires to KO3’s. They look like they will do the job in the ADK mountains, snow and ice… I already feel more confident in tackling that weather!
KO3 sway
Previous tires were KO2 on a F250. I do small amount of off-roading but mainly around town and towing travel trailer. Installed new KO3 7K miles ago. Since then very noticeable amount of sway when towing. I have a Pro Pride hitch which eliminates sway caused by wind on the trailer, so sway that was not present with KO2 is now very uncomfortable with KO3. Do not purchase KO3 tires if you tow RV. Wish I had my KO2 back.
We’re sorry to hear about the sway you’ve noticed while towing with your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. We recommend having a BFGoodrich authorized dealer inspect the tires and installation to ensure everything is set up correctly for towing. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call the Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Quiet
Just bought a set of 275/60/20 KO3's for my Ram and very happy with these. Very quiet on the hwy but better grip on gravel and light off-road use than my last set of tires I'll not mention the brand but they'd spin if ya looked at em funny. I have noticed a bit of mpg drop but I'll take the trade off hands down.
After 10,000 Miles on Alaska Snow and Ice...
On my 2024 Colorado LT, these KO3's with the 3PMSF symbol have provided relatively sure-footedness in snow and most ice conditions. The rubber compound has proven itself in our cold weather, which have been at or below 0 degrees F. The only drawback to them on my Colorado are a stiff ride in the rear -- requiring me to slow down when encountering rutted and 2 or more inches of thick ice on Anchorage streets and our Glenn Hwy. Need to slow down to 45 mph in rutted ice conditions. Are they as good as dedicated and siped snow tires? No. Are they good enough for winter driving once you know their few limitations? Yes -- definitely. A solid 4 to a 4.5-star rating.
