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.

Gunit, Thanks for writing a review. Sorry your experience with the KM3 wasn't a good one. We hope that you will consider BF Goodrich tires again in the future.

37’s on Gladiator
45 k miles. Love them lots of hwy miles. Lots of off road miles. sand, snow, ice. slick rock, mud, loose rock. Lots of concrete.
Bad tires worse customer service
10k miles and these are very dangerous to have on wet roads or speeds over 60mph dues to server cupping and tire ware. Brand new vehicle 2023 jeep gladiator willys with 10k miles never been off road except the yard in Florida.

Awesome mileage and off-road toughness/traction
I bought these for my 2017 Colorado ZR2 in 285/70/17 (E load) when they first came out in June of 2018. Overall, I got 66,000 miles out of them. They could have gone another 5k miles or so, but I believe I potentially got a slightly defective tire, as it has worn unevenly and is not perfectly round. Thus, there is now too much vibration to continue driving on this set. The other three tires in the set have worn and performed perfectly. The worst of the tires is pictured below. I always rotated the tires during oil changes. However, I elected to live with the “bad” tire and it was fine. It only became a problem in the last month due to the vibrations in the cab and steering wheel because of the imperfect shape. This was a very early set of KM3s so I’m not upset or surprised by this, as I think it is bound to happen. I took these tires to MOAB and on other off-road trails and they were very tough and had great traction. I’m giving 4 stars because the on-road ride quality leaves a bit to be desired, between the noise and vibration I experienced. I have since moved from CA to CO and need better snow traction. So I swapped out the KM3s for KO2s. Sticking with BFGoodrich!!! Don’t let my story stray you from these tires. Overall, they were awesome! I just have different needs now. I would also recommend a C load rating if you drive a smaller vehicle like mine. The E was a bit stiff for my truck (running at 38 psi).
Amazing tires for both on and off road.
First KM3, previous was KM2 and still love them! I have 35x12.5x15 on my ‘08 JKU and absolutely love the tires. Out in Las Vegas but hardly driven in town almost all miles are highway and trails/offroad. Few gravel “roads” and have never had an issue. They hum almost as good as your wife but not that bad. They are a mud terrain so it is a given. Never had issues with traction and have been in a variety of gnarliness off road. I won’t buy any other brand of tires for my rig. Just wish they were cheaper. But got to pay to play.
Only tire I'll buy now.
I've owned many types of all terrain and mud terrain tires. These are by far the best I've had. Great puncture resistance and tread life. I drive mostly gravel roads.
Really nice mud terrain.
What a great change. I think I made a good decision getting these. I had a set of Nitto Recon Grapplers, and it was like my Tacoma had no suspension. Now it rides so much better. They have minimal road noise, and made the ride quality better. Not sure how they will do in the rain yet, but we will see.
Great Tires
Bought these 2 and half years ago, have 26K on the tired and still look brand new. Never had any so far, they look great on my truck
Great tire, but pretty expensive now.
I've ran the 39x13.5r17 KM3s for 2+ years and over 40k miles on my Jeep Gladiator. I've put these tires through all kinds of terrains and weather conditions from dirt, sand, rock crawling, mud, rain, hail, rock crawling in thunder storms and they haven't let me down. I keep rotate them every 3k to 5k miles and they have worn evenly. The side walls have been holding up great and the side bitters have provided plenty of traction when needed. The light weight of the tires is also a plus. My only gripe is these tires have gotten fairly expensive since I purchased them in 2021. The price has increased roughly by about $250 per tire. They are almosted priced near the cost of some 42s. Well known competitors 40s don't even cost as much as these 39s. With that being said it opens the door to try some of the top competitor's tires for about $200 less per tire. These 39s compared to most 40s make the 39s look like 37s because of the actual size.
I dunno…not happy :(
I have these tires on my Willys Wrangler. I like the look, but one has cupped really badly. I had my suspension checked out and it’s fine, so I’ve got to buy a new tire, which is super annoying because I’d prefer to have all of my tires the same age. Booooo.
Jeep Grrrrl, we get your frustration. We need to get some more details. A member of our team will be emailing you, or you can contact us at 866-866-6605 for assistance.
