Worst tire I've purchased
Coming from the K02 I was excited about the new K03. That's being said I immediately regretted it. The tires were rebalanced 3 times with zero difference. The vibration from 15mph and up was drastic enough to have concern about actual damage to my F150 Raptor. Dealer on the 3rd try had something like 12 Oz of weights on it, which is absurd in itself. I really belive that BF Goodrich should pull this product from the market before a class action lawsuit happens in regards to damaged cars and truck from vibrating thier vehicle apart....yes that bad. I never really leave reviews but considering the price and major issues with this product I felt compelled to do so. Buyer beware...sorry BF
We’re sorry to hear about the vibration issues and the trouble you’ve had with balancing. 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 Please have your dealer call us so we can discuss possible troubleshooting options. Our number is 866-866-6605. We are available Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST and Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST.

Great tires on my 1 ton
Mounted on 2024 Silverado 3500. Currently have 7000 miles on them and they ride great, are quiet and balanced great. Performed well in snow and ice and rain. I have recommended to others.
They suck
Can not get them balanced dealer has tried several times and no luck. From 50 mhr up it shakes horribly and the dealer just tells me it’s normal for all-terrain tires. I wish I would’ve known this before I bought them I would’ve definitely went with something else. Definitely do not recommend.
KO3 Blowout
KO3s with less than 2k miles. I had a compete blow out on the front left tire at Highway speeds on a 2 lane highway. No pot hole or obvious debris in the road. Broke /cracked my wheel. I’m not impressed by these, I honestly wish I would have gone with a different brand. BFG customer service seems to be based overseas and I couldn’t understand their customer service team. If you are on the fence, I wouldn’t trust these.
Hi Austin James, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience with the KO3s—that’s definitely not what we expect from our tires, especially so early in their life. We appreciate you sharing the details, and we understand how frustrating and concerning this must have been. A member of our Consumer Care team will be in contact with you. You may also reach our office at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

KO3 is a right choice
Bought as oem replacement for 21 Chevrolet LT Trailboss. I was considering a few different brands but kept coming back to the KO3. I only have about 100 miles on them but I’m happy with the choice. I did move from load range c to E so psi is higher of course.
15 ounces of weights to balance
I had and still have BFG ko3 E load on my 2018 4 runner. Shakes and vibrations were horrible, I was told the 4runner does not work well with E Load tires. I bought a new set a couple days ago, KO3 C Load. I am still getting a lousy ride quality. I look at one tire in the rear - FIFTEEN OUNCES of weights on a new tire? This is not a qualty made product.
Great Tires!
I purchased these to replace the factory Duratrac tires on my 2020 Colorado ZR2 and kept the factory tire size (265/65R17). Soon after my purchase I took a 1,000+ mile road trip. At 80+ mph, the ride was very smooth. I did not experience any balancing issues that have been noted on some of the other reviews. These tires are a bit nosier than the Duratracs. Overall, I am very pleased with these tires! I have had BF Goodrich all terrain tires on previously owned 4X4's and they have always performed very well. I look forward to many adventures with these tires!!
got 285 75 17 on my 2020 tacoma the tires are quite but they are stiff so makes the ta oma ride stiff
GARBAGE
Running ko2s on my GMC for 9 years nothing but the best 80000 klms , than K03s nothing but trouble always rotating at 5000 klms had 2 alignments done to solve the problems but just garbage only 38000 klms and im now needing to replace them 1/8 of tread on 2 of them very disappointed payed almost $ 2000 what a joke now looking for a different brand !!!

Sidewall Too Tender
Traction is awesome with these tires. I run 10 pounds of air in them with dry conditions climbing granite, decomposed granite, rocks and in the sand. I've recently been in the snow too. The tire holds onto snow as advertised. The sidewalls are falling apart and I'm so disappointed. The outer (black) layer is peeling off and exposing the white underneath. They looked awesome until I really used them. Once i took them offroad they started crumbling. I'm waiting for them to stop holding air soon because they were too tender on the sidewall. KO2s never had this problem.
