Review Summary
The tires provide excellent off-road traction on mud, rocks, and challenging terrain. They also handle well on the road, with some users noting they are quieter than other mud-terrain tires. However, there are concerns about uneven treadwear, with some needing replacement after 20,000 miles. The tires are also described as being on the pricier side.

Wear extremely fast
I have these tires on my 2019 Tundra and it has been about a year ago with these tires on and they are already practically bald. I was also having problems with a speed wobble with my truck and it turns out the tires were causing it because of a deformity in the tire. Disappointed I have to spend another 2,000 dollars six months later to buy a brand new set of tires.

Great traction wear extremely fast !!!!
I put these on my 2018 Ram Powerwagon about mid April and I am shocked at how fast they are wearing even for a mud tire. In about four or less months time I have gone from 18/32 new to about 13/32 and that's being generous with only about 3,500 miles on them. The fronts have a little uneven wear which I plan on rotating at five thousand miles but even the backs have about the same tread depth if not less. They did take some weight to balance which I had a tire place check twice and one trip was to discount tire were I purchased them and heard they are a pain to balance. Now I know not to expect a ton of life out of a mud terrain but at this rate they are definitely not worth the price. I will be lucky to break 25k miles out of these and I feel like I should have went with Toyo MT's like I had on a previous truck a Ford Raptor and those lasted at least 50k. I have ran plenty of tires and mud terrains in my life and these by far wear the fastest and worst already and it's really a shame because they do provide awesome traction on gravel, rocks, and even in the rain. They are just not worth the price to mileage ratio by any means and are a huge let down and they only spend time on a gravel road for the most part up to my house in western nc. If your going to charge people this much money for a tire please make them last more then like 25k.

Great tire!
My second set of them. Great tire
12 uears and still rolling
I bought a set of 4 35x12.5x15 km2's in 2010. The truck sat for 4 for the last 12 years but easily over 60k miles hardball driving and 10k miles off roading or mudding and i still have ¾" worth of tread. Upgrading to km3's soon and hear they are better than the km2's. Extremely happy with this tire design. Lasts forever
Docgreeny, this is awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your comments. Just a word of caution though, we recommend replacing tires after 10 years strictly due to age, regardless of the tread remaining.

Excellent Ride and Handling
I just put on a set of 37-12.5 x 17 on my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon yesterday and I'm extremely happy with the ride,how quiet the are and handling on and off the road.
Tire wear
I love the tires off road I have a set on my Tacoma the traction is great but the wear on road could have been a lot better I rotated them whenever I did an oil change and after about 10 thousand miles the wear is uneven some of the tread is higher or lower than others. It is just a little irritating

Out of round
Bought these in Feb. finally put on and have less than 100 miles on them. Out of round. Jeep wobbles. Contacted bfg. Being replaced but still won’t be able to drive my Jeep again for another 1-2 months. Going back to Nittos. Never an issue with those.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Tnjeeper. We would recommend getting a tire inspection at an authorized dealer. Please have the dealer contact us at 866-866-6605 to report their findings.

Continental Divide Trail
I have had these KM3s on the Interstate then straight onto the Continental Divide Trail. These tires have been amazing. Compared to the KM2s these tires are much quieter on the road and off road performance is so nice too. I'm going to be putting a set on my '58 Jeep FC150 also!
Thanks for the awesome review HiVisOverland. BFGoodrich customers ROCK!

Great traction on rocks, not bad elsewhere
Been running the 37x12.50R17 for a couple years now. Love how well they air down and grab rocks for traction. Pretty good in mud; I've had better but am still satisfied. A couple slices are visible in my sidewall, but no leaking so still ok there. Size-wise, the width actually runs the 12.5 expected (not bigger), which is good for fitment. And height is true to spec but only when not under load. Move up to the next size if you want something bigger. As far as balancing goes, these can be interesting. Seem to be pretty heavy on the outside wall of the tire. Dynamic balance would've required a ton of weight, but static balance seems to be just fine. Similarly didn't balance with the recommended amount of Dynabeads. Maybe more would've worked but I feel like that's not the best way to go with these. One of my tires is a hybrid, static balance on a home bubble balancer and some beads - that worked too. On road, unexpectedly quiet! Seemed to wear pretty quickly when new, but I think it's slowed down and I expect maybe 30k out of them before down to 50% tread (acceptable minimum for off road use).
Horrible tread life
I ran these on a ram 2500. Loved the tires the are quiet, handle well, and do good in the mud and even snow. However at 21000 miles they were to within 2/32 of the wearbars. I wanted to run them again but at 1600 a set I couldnt take the chance with the treadwear I experienced. They wore flat and even just extremely fast
