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.

Bought BF Goodrich tires again
I drive a 1979 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 that I have had for 30 years, and it has always had BF Goodrich tires on it. I first put All Terrains on it at 66,000 miles and have since put a total of 3 sets of All Terrains and one set of Mud Terrains KM's on it. I just put a set of Mud Terrain KM3's on it today (at 250,000 miles) as the previous KM's have become too old. I wasn't driving it much and not paying attention to the age of the tire and realized that they were 11 years old. Not once have I ever been stranded due to a tire related problem, The only time I have to use a jack is when I rotate the tires. I have been extremely please with all the tires, but even more so with these latest KM3's. Unbelievably quiet and smooth riding, There has been a huge change since the original KM. This will probably be the last set of tires I'll put on the vehicle but my grandson will probably enjoy them since he will be the next to own it.
Awesome, BMWGSrider! Thanks for sharing!

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).
Great Look Horrible Ride
I just recently purchased a set of 37x13.50R17 KM3s, plus one for my spare and had them mounted on my first gen Raptor right before Xmas. After 2k miles on them, they have been balanced twice and still shake so bad I cannot drive them over 55mph without the truck feeling like a 3 ton massaging chair. I absolutely love how they look and they are amazing off road but running down the highway is unbearable and they have absolutely no traction on snow packed roads. Yesterday I just pulled in to a Discount Tire and ordered a new set of 37x12.50R17 KO2s to have installed on Tuesday since they didn't have them in stock. I will be posting these KM3s on Craigslist to try to recover the $1900 I am now out. I will continue to be loyal to BFG but I am very disappointed in the KM3s.
Great company if you want good wheels and tires
First of all, gear is supreme. Kept in contact@TireRewardCenter.com
Not too happy
Bought a set of 4 km3's, and the front left wore bald and nobby...had truck balanced and aligned, the day they were put on..had it checked out again to make sure nothing with suspension broken...nope..so now I'm buying another tire...and obviously it won't have same wear as my others...and I don't like that..

Excellent Tires!
I have been running KM3's on my vintage Land-Rover, hitting tough trails deep in Death Valley for a couple years now. My drive just to get to DV is about 500 miles, and I am doing some other highway miles locally. The desert performance is great. DV is famous for shredding tires, but I have had no problems. I am stunned by the low wear on pavement. Highly recommended. Most of my L-R buddies "in the know" are running them.
Confidentiality Sure!
I am the author of the previously titled Not Sure Yet review. We’ll I am pleased to tell everyone that after the remaining 3 tires were swapped and road force balanced, I am riding on a dream. Unfortunately I guess I got a bad lot of tires that seem to of had high spots on them. What those replace balanced it’s so nice to ride on new BFG‘s that are smooth, look great, perform great ad for a mud tire qiet on the road.
KM3 GREAT TIRE!!!
I have had several brands of MT over the years. When the KM3 first came out I bought the first set that Tire World got thru the door. Right now I have 70000 miles on them and they need to be replaced. They have wore good for a MT, they ride great and are not too loud. My 2014 F250 is not a pavement prencess and the KM3s have gotten me thru mud that others could not make it thru. I have been trying weeks to find 35x12.5x18 replacements with Zero luck. I am hoping I can find some soon before I have to go to another brand. Don't hesitate to buy these tires if you find them.
Ben, We appreciate your enthusiasm for our tires and understand your frustration. Like many businesses, we're still facing supply challenges brought on by the pandemic, and we're working at capacity to improve our inventory situation. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
