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.

LONG WAIT!!!!
I was supposed to get these tires a while ago for my Jeep Wrangler 35/12.50/17. I have been waiting for 3 months already and still I haven't got them. 3 months is a lot for wait.
Aman, we are sorry for the wait. 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.

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!
Awesome bBrain! 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!

KM3
Spent a week driving the new Jeep Wrangler JL with the new 35” KM3. Recommended psi is 40 I believe or at least that what psi was in them. At 40 a little hard & noiser. Dropped to 32 psi & loved the ride & noise was not an issue. Is did tread to surface test & had full tread coverage. Did some off road running tires @15 & had fantastic traction!
Thanks for the awesome review Srisk331! BFGoodrich customers ROCK!

I love them
I love them. I’ve had all three versions of the mud terrain line on my truck (I have owned it for over thirty years, 316,000 miles). The original looked great, wore reasonably well but mileage suffered. The KM2 provided poor mileage and looked worn after 5000 miles. I didn’t like them at all and went to Cooper’s for the next set. I didn’t want to buy the KM3 when it was time for new tires but the comparable All Terrain was too wide for my wheels so I went ahead and got the KM3s (255/85 16- Tall and skinny). My mileage is back to what I was getting with stock tires. No noticeable road noise, of course my 4x4 Cummins is kinda noisy already. Finally, I’m not sure how many miles I have put on them but probably at least 10K and they still look the same as new. I’m not doing heavy offroad driving but snow, mud and steep gravel driveways have not been a problem so I think traction is more than adequate.
Excellent Offroad Tire
I’ve been running 37 and now 39” BFG KM3 for the last 8 years on two vehicles. They are outstanding tires. Provide great traction and are very durable in the rocks. They always easily balance and are significantly lighter than competitors mud tires.
Third set on off-road land cruiser
These are 45,000 miles off-road tires that might lack a little mud traction but make up in all other forms of off-road traction. They’re quiet on the streets, Good, breaking when, wet and tougher side wall with its polyester fibers embedded in the sidewall rubber making it virtually split proof
Great mixed terrain use tire. Back roads and snow.
Tire is high traction off road profile. I live in the mountains of Central Arizona. Most mileage is dirt, rocky off road with a mix of wet snow and occasional long hiway runs.
Junk !!’nn
