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.

Good, but with issues.
I really like these tires, they are on my daily drive and see all sorts of terrain and conditions. 32000 miles in they are at 10/32 out of 18, still above 50%. However I had one tire start to delaminate and crack along the sidewall in multiple place. BF Goodrich wouldn't stand behind their product and even offer a slight credit or discount on the replacement.
AS, sorry to read of a problem with one of your tires. I don't find a case to indicate we have spoken with you or your retailer about this situation. One of our team members will be in touch with you to initiate a warranty claim through your retailer.

Had KM 2' on 3 trucks....love them. Bought a new trucks k in 2016 and immediately looked for a set of KM's. That year, the KM3 was new,purchased and installed. 7 years and 103,000 miles later looking for another set. This set still has miles left on them. Just time. Rotated every 5k and balanced every 15k or so. Never been let down in some of nastiest stuff the swamps of maryland can dish out.
Worst on winter driving with snow and wear
Good in mud and loose soil. Terrible in snow and always get irregular wear well before the tread is used up, even with frequent rotation and alignments. These wear my second set and I will not be purchasing a third set and going with a competitive tire company.
TimTom, we're sorry to read of your negative experience. We hope that you will consider BFGoodrich again in the future.

Lasted from Mexico to the tip of Argentina and back!
We replaced our aging K02's in Oaxaca, Mexico with a set of KM3's and they took us exploring offroad through the jungles of Central America to the great Paracas sand dunes of Peru to the Bolivian and Brazilian Amazon jungle. Had enough tread to make it back to the USA. Shocked they lasted that long on our heavily loaded Land Cruiser.
Good All Around Tire
I have had the mud snow tires (31x12 x15) on my 1989 Sidekick and love them. They air down to 12PSI and take me where ever I need or want to go. They grip well off road on rocks but I try to not drive on the sidewalls, yes they are thinner but that makes them flex and grip well. Even in snow and ice they grip and handle better than any other tires that I have tried. I am getting a Jeep Rubicon and these will be one of the first things that get installed.
Still going at 40k
I drive a 2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2. I got a set of the BFG Mud Terrain tires at around 31k miles in June of 2020 as a replacement of the awful stock tires. I was having sidewall punctures with the wimpy p-metric stock tires they put on these new trucks these days. I am at 80k and still have a bit of life in them. I run them in mud, rocks and heavy gravel. A bit noisy but that’s to be expected . I won’t trust anything else. I’ve always used BFG tires beginning in the late 90s. Mostly the KO all terrains. I’ve seen them evolved over the years. I also ran the older kM2 tires on a Chevy 2500HD. I’ve owned Land Rovers, Chevy trucks and others and have always insisted on BFG all terrains and or the mud terrains. Best tire out there!
Horrible
I had these on my 21(f250) and the rears are eating through tires, its completely perfect as far as alignment & parts in the rear end still under warranty and I have now spent 4.5k in tires in 2 years I'm so upset.
Jay, sorry to read of your disappointment. A member of our team will be in touch to get more information from your retailer and discuss further.

Terrible
I have a set of these on my Kawasaki KRX 1000 UTV and with only 400 miles of trails the rear tires are about SHOT already! The stock tires have 600 miles on them and look almost new still, I thought this was an upgrade, not downgrade. Absolutely terrible quality and at $350/each a rip off. We shall see if the "warranty" does anything.
Best tire I've ever bought for on and off road
I bought these tires a few years ago. Pro's: They are quiet for a mud terrain tire. Excellent traction in snow. I was plowing through 12" deep snow effortlessly. Any deeper and I will be pushing snow with my front end. They also worked well in total ice too. Drove all over Colorado mountains in the winter with no issues. They shine is the soupy snow too. This is where the mud design come into play I can take highspeed turns no issues. Rain no issues. I do test my braking in adverse conditions i.e. press hard on the brakes and see if they slide. This give me a gauge to my stopping distance. Con's: They will cup if you don't rotate the tires often. My tire store offers free rotation every 3,000 miles. They are an aggressive tire with a softer compound and will wear faster. So don't expect 50,000 miles.
great on/off road tires
Had these tires several times before, great wear average 50-55,000 miles.We travel full time in our motorhome and tow the jeep. We went all over Arches NP and desert then all over Big Bend off-road areas without any problems.
