Good looks, but a lot of vibrations at highway speed.
The good: quiet, good looking tire. No issues with steering. Can tell much heavier than a typical highway tire when accelerating or stopping which is expected. The bad: gave the tire shop 2 tries to balance. Vibrations at anything over 60 mph. Paid extra for road force. High road force numbers in the 30s and 40s and a bunch of weight on each rim. Returned and went with another tire.
Brad, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the quiet ride and appearance of the All‑Terrain T/A KO3 tires, but we’re sorry to learn about the vibration and balancing issues you experienced. 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, vibration can occur if the tire is not seated uniformly on the wheel, even if it appears properly installed. Our Customer Care team is always here to help if you have questions in the future. Please call 866‑866‑6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

No more hydroplaning
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.
LOVE THE LOOK AND STYLE OF THE TIRE TOO!
EXCELLENT TIRES! AUTOMATICALLY MADE EVERYONE FEEL SAFE! TIRES MAKES IT EASY TO HANDLE MY TRUCK IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER! SUPER HAPPY ON THE TRACTION. DURABLE...WENT FOR MY 12000. KM ROTATION AND THEY SAID THE TIRES ARE BARELY WORN AT ALL. SUPER HAPPY!
Won’t balance
Bought a set of KO3’s for my F350 in January. Truck vibrated badly on the freeway. Took it back and had them road force test them. 2 of the 4 they could not get to a reasonable number. Ordered two replacements. Only one of those were passable. Went in yesterday to get the last replaced, now it’s worse than ever. Entire truck shakes on the freeway. In summary, 3 of 7 tires have been passable and I’m still working on the last one. Big mistake buying these tires. Should have went with K02’s.
Dave, we’re very sorry to hear about the ongoing vibration issues you’ve encountered with your All‑Terrain T/A KO3 tires. We understand how frustrating this has been. BFGoodrich off‑road tires are designed to stay securely seated, which makes proper mounting especially important. In some cases, a tire can look correctly installed even if it isn’t seated evenly, which may lead to vibration. This short video explains this in more detail: 👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZcVeJQaOc We recommend continuing to work with your authorized BFG dealer to ensure everything is properly addressed. Our Consumer Care team is also available to review your situation and help with next steps. Feel free to call us at 866‑866‑6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Tire wear
After 12,000km tire wear is down from 15 mm to 9 mm. I pull a 5th wheel trailer which I pull on gravel roads heading to my favorite lake to fish. I expected better tire wear so really disappointed with this tire.
The Only Tire For Me
These tires have taken me all over this country. From the mountains of the west to the swamps of the east I’ve never been let down. Great hanging on and off road. The perfect tire in my opinion. I have been running BFG All Terrain tires since 2002, 10-15 sets and I even run the km3s on my Honda Talon.
Traction
Traction is great in icy and snow condition's. No issues pulling a snowmobile trailer in Michigans upper peninsula with poor road conditions.
Poor tread life
Decent tire and have been solid in snow, mud and daily driving but I dont even have 20,000 miles and I need to replace them.
We're glad to hear the All-Terrain T/A KO3 have performed well in snow, mud, and daily driving, but we’re sorry to hear the tread life hasn't met expectations. Please visit an authorized tire retailer for an inspection and have the dealer call us at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) with their findings.

Balancing nightmare
This is my second set of these tires. First set seemed to be fine but I wanted to move to a smaller wheel. So got rid of them and got a new set for the small wheel. Balanced horribly. Pulling me all over the road and constant vibration. Went back to the dealer a month and half later to check them again. Took well over 10 ounces on each tire, road force was also not great. Luckily I was within the 60 day satisfaction guarantee from BFG. Decided to try the Toyo RT Pros which were recommended from the dealer. Three of the tires took 0 weight and one took .75 of an ounce. Literally night and day. I say all this just to let people know, you can get a decent pair of these, but I would ask to watch the dealer balance them to see how much weight they require and make sure you get rid of them before 60 days if they are not balancing. Don’t wait and hope they work. KO2s were perfect. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the balancing and vibration concerns you encountered, as that’s certainly not the experience we want for our customers. 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. If you’d like to discuss your experience further or have questions about future tire options, our Consumer Care team would be happy to help at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

I have no issues with these tires, they ride well and produce little noise.
