Feel safe with the new all terrain!
Never felt safer than I do now with these tires. Drove through heavy rains on the freeway, and felt really secure knowing the truck is stable. Can’t wait to take this out to the snow now!!
Ko-3. Good tread pattern
I bought these to try out, had a $60 credit refund coming. They really make it hard for you to get your money. All kinds of excuses not to send it.
Not good
Look great. We have 275/70/R18 on a 2025 Tacoma and they are fine at speeds below 45 but any faster and the truck starts vibrating. Had them rebalanced twice but it dident help. Going to try Toyos or Falkans. oh they are KO3s
Should've kept my K02's.....
As a happy, loyal K02 customer for 10+ years, I am absolutely sick that I "upgraded" to the new K03's this past December. To begin with, the traction is nothing compared to the K02's. Even when my past sets of K02's were on their last leg, the traction was preeminent compared to the K03's brand new! I was (and am still) shocked by the awful squeal that they let out simply going around corners and accelerating from a stoplight in the slightest drizzle of ran in the middle of town where speed limits max at 40mph. As a Minnesota resident, I buy BFG K's for their reliability during the coldest months of the year and their ability to get through the snow and ice with absolute certainty. Sadly these K03's can't even manage to get traction after the roads are even slightly wet. What a joke. I was already sick about the fact that I gave my K02's up for these K03's, then all of the sudden, one of my four brand new tires managed to pick up a huge allen wrench (which isn't even sharp) and allowed it to penetrate into the tread over 2". The fact that this happened within just a few months is extraordinary considering all of the things I've "picked up" over the years that were actually sharp, and never lodged themselves in to any of my K02's like this wimpy little allen wrench did. I wish I would've stuck with the K02's and never made the switch, but I honestly trusted BFG and their brand. Lesson learned I guess. Just a bummer to see the degression in quality. I miss my K02's and their endless reliability. These will never compare.
K02 LOVER, we are sorry to read of your disappointment in the new KO3, and sorry that there was damage to one of your tires. Give our team a call so that we can get involved. 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri.

truck drives and handles much better with these tires
have been on my truck for a week been commuting 60 miles a day on these new ko3 and love the way my truck rides and handles
Awesome new tires
These off road tires are perfect for looks and performance. They are not loud on the road and can handle all terrain in any weather. The KO3s are a step up from the KO2 and not only look great, but are great quality. We received so many compliments on the tires so far and they really make a difference compared to the stock tires on the truck. We have driven in rain and snow, on gravel, dirt, and highways and are impressed by the performance!
TXTRD
Recently replaced the stock tires on my TRD ORP with the new K03s. In previous 4 Runners I ran Nitto, these BFG are by far superior. Excellent on water, rocks, and mud.
So frustrating. Want to love them but they won’t balance
really wanted to love the Bridgestone K03s. The design is top-tier—modern, aggressive, and clearly engineered with attention to detail. The technology and features packed into these tires are impressive. Ride comfort, traction, and overall performance? Solid. In most ways, they check all the boxes. But here’s the dealbreaker: after 12 separate attempts, these tires still won’t balance correctly. That kind of issue just isn’t something I can overlook. No matter how great the performance might be otherwise, constantly fighting balance problems makes the entire experience frustrating and, frankly, not worth it. For me, that’s a hard stop.

Balancing Issue
As others have noted, and I thought 'won't happen to me', but can't get these tires to balance on my Toyota Tacoma w/stock 17" rims. They do look great and seem to be pretty quiet for an AT tire on dry roads. Have yet to try them in rain/snow. Hoping to find another tire shop to try balancing again because I really want this to work. The rims are true, and I've had the KO2's in the past w/o issue.
gilcheck, we're sorry to read that you have had a negative experience with the KO3's. For any vibration, uniformity, difficult to balance, high road force, or slow leak complaints, please consult with the dealer to ensure that the proper lubricant is applied to both the rim flange and the tire bead during the mounting process. This mounting and demounting procedure applies to all tires and brands. Specific to BFGoodrich off-road tires, the bead is designed to mount tighter to the wheel so that the tires can be used for aired down off-roading (driving in sand or mud). This bead design allows for high levels of bead retention in these aired down driving conditions. For BFGoodrich off-road tires, it’s essential to follow this procedure to ensure proper bead seating during the mounting process. Of course, you are always welcomed to contact our team at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri.

Still the king of A/T tires
After owning the previous KO2 tires I was excited to try the new redesigned KO3. Wow they are awesome! Very smooth on pavement and lots of grip offroad. Very impressive
