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.

KM3 285/70/17 Toyota 4Runner

Replaced my BFG KO2s with these KM3 3 years ago and I could not be happier with the performance & look of these tires.The on road and off-road performance has been outstanding. With just shy of 40,000 miles I still have 10/32 out of 18/32 left on the tread, all 4 tired have worn perfectly but I do check PSI monthly plus rotate and balance every 5000 miles.I run these on my modified 4Runner with a good amount of extra weight on it and at 75 mph the noise decibel is just under 70 which isn’t bad considering all of the extra accessories I have on my rig. Without question I will be buying  these tires again!

Jeep Gladiator got a fresh set of 35s

Have been riding on BFG all terrains and muds for my 3 jeeps and dodge truck for at least the last 10 years. Never had a complaint, easy decision to go with KM3s for this purchase!

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.

Best off-road tire i've owned

Best tires I've ever owned thus far. I've used them through some very tough climate conditions living in Saskatchewan, Canada. Seem to have lots of traction on all sorts of terrain Mud, Snow and dirt may be lacking a bit when it comes to ice but I think any tire that isn't a winter rated tire will have issues there. The other thing I noticed compared to other off-road tires is that they wore very evenly and have never caused any shakes in the steering, they have also been very quiet on the road for what they are and track very nicely. I need a new set soon and will probably end up getting the same thing again or the newest Generation of the tire, why change something that works so well.

Great tire for off-road and on-road.

I've seen a lot of reviews talking about they wear fast, I'd like to point out that for a tire to grip it must be soft, sticky compound. Yes they are gonna wear, don't expect 50k miles, Expect 20-25k tops. But let me tell you, I have never seen a tire perform so well in the mud and on rocks. These things just boss whatever I throw at it off-road. They have a great ride on-road, but off-road, aired down to 12-15psi, it's a whole other world. Such a good ride off-road aired down. The KM3's are just outright amazing. They have never let me down. Watch my video, the mud at the bottom of this water hole is texas clay, it's the slipperiest stuff known to man and these tires, man I have no idea how they do it but it just keeps going! My hummer and jeep will have BFGoodrich Mud-Terrains for life. The KM3's are absolutely awesome! Watch the video of my 7200lbs hummer h2 and my son's jeep hitting the same mud hole. The results speak for themselves!

Why I bought these

Mostly because of the vid BFG made, showing the sidewall resistance to cuts and punctures. There are times when you cannot change a flat, cannot even stop, cannot avoid something sharp, and are fully loaded or grossly overloaded. When it's life and death. What's an extra hundred per tire against that? Others may be as good, but where's the video proof?

More information required on website

Looking on website to find out if my existing rims would suit new, wider tires. No information on website about what range of rim widths suit what tires. This is surely meant to be available SOMEWHERE, or are we meant to guess? (Australian purchaser)

DamKia, We are sorry you are having an issue trying to locate sizes and specifications of KM3's. Please visit https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/auto/tires/mud-terrain-t-a-km3?tyreSize=17 and navigate to the bottom of the page, select a rim diameter and see sizes available. Click on any size to see rim width ranges, load index information, etc. Feel free to contact us with any questions at 866-866-6605.

Excellent Tire!

37×13.50s are amazing on and off road. I love the performance off road, my jeep grips better than many others. I run with vehicles that have lockers and still keep up unless it's a clearance issue. They are well mannered on the road as well. Wish I could get white letters in 37+ sizes

All around great tire

I have these ties on my '18 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel in 12.5x33R17. I've had these tires for a year now and put 32,000 miles on them. I've driven them on every type of terrain from hard-ball pavement (wet and dry), mud, snow, ice, gravel and everything in between. These tires have tackled everything beautifully and do especially well in mud and fresh snow (kind of a given). On ice they're great, but slide a bit. On the road they are more quiet than other mud terrains, but of course have some tire whine. The wear rate on these tires is outstanding! Like I said, I have 32k miles on these and they're still at about 50% tread left. Fuel mileage dropped significantly (26.8 mi/gal freeway down to 22.1 mi/gal) but that's too be expected. I would recommend these tires to anyone.
