Same here, I still use bfg allterrain tires but with these I may try it. Thanks for the info and more power to you!

I was virtually impressed with your hypothetical tires!

Thanks for letting us now your opinion on these, I have been real curious about the KM3’s...Thanks again! 👍👊

I have BF Goodrich TA KO2 AT LT 265/65R18's on my stock truck. I love them. Thanks for sharing this video.

I’ve been fortunate enough to justify the state buying these for my work rig. Three sets of KM2’s and now the KM3’s. As a forester and wildland firefighter mine are wonderful and wouldn’t want anything but. Road noise is only noticeable when the tread depth is low. Throwing rooster tails of mud when pulling a car on a muddy road for two miles. Thought I was a speed boat! Love them. Thanks for the videos you two.

Thanks for the input. I am a forester as well located in Louisiana. I noticed you drive an fj cruiser how do you like it? Thinking about getting one as my everyday.

Hey Michael, I bought my KM-2s and about 3 months later the KM-3s came out. I was a bit bummed about that. I put a 3" lift on the FJ 80 just before I got my tires. I didn't do anything about the pan-hard bar. Well here we are 35 K miles later and I keep getting a funny wear pattern on the rear tread. Well Thanks to Delta Vehicle Systems I got the pan-hard lift bracket and the ride is so much better and there is no more wiggle in the back end. I highly recommend the piece of hardware. Keep it rolling Michael, I'm getting Tituss ready for the trails.

I have K02's, been the best tires I've ever had. I bet these are even better. I like the side walls on yours vs mine.

Great content!! Love the km3’s!!! I run the 7.50R/16E’s on a 2” lifted two door Jeep jk and they really go in our red clay mud in our environments. The 7.50’s really pull well, now they aren’t in the mud tire category as an interco tsl but one couldn’t expect them to be. Kn3’s are a very road friendly tire compared to the intercos and they get the job done nicely!!

I'm looking at purchasing the same size as you, just wondering how well they are wearing?

Well, I ordered a set of 5 KM3s in 255/85r16 for my 80. Really was looking for the Toyo M-55 in the same size, but the KM3 seems great and available from just about everywhere. The M-55 appears elusive and harder to procure now. This is my first M/T and my first oversized tire (even if only a little). I also became an Overland Bound member by way of wife and kids for my bday a couple weeks ago. Just received my badges, will really need this 10 extra HP - is that per badge or combined - to spin around all that extra rubber. Cheers to the community. Michael, still holding out on building my drawer system until your final build. Seems like it’s gonna be epic.

I Purchase a set of KM3 last month for my Tacoma is based on your reviews with BFG KM3. Thank you for reviews and information.

Nice set up, and good review! Looking forward to set up my 80 soon.

I'm just jesting. Thanks for the review. I've made up my mind and you convinced me I need KM3's

Here in West Virginia we can still go out on the trails. Our governor is pretty chill and wants people to get out because what better way to social distance than to get out on the trail. I am a Cooper STT Pro guy but those KO3's look pretty good especially after all those miles aired down. LOL it happens. great video as usual. Take care and hope you all can make it out to West Virginia sometime.

I went with the MT Baja Boss. BFG kM 1 / 2 had issues with weak sidewall. Hopefully the KM3s fixed that.

I like my KM3's as well. I'm grateful to have them.

I work for Firestone I get a discount I got the Firestone mt2 I got a four for four hundred bucks we get half-price the road noise isn't too bad so far I have 20,000 on them . So far so good I love you guys you guys takecare

Been running BFG's on my rigs since 87. Tried a few others but BFG are the best hands down.

Hey Mikey, I liked this very informative video, a lot! Perhaps a set of KM3's in the distant future, but for the moment. It's the Bridgestone Revo AT3's. I'm still a newbie at this Overlanding scene. Learning a lot from the OB1 Community and you. Cheers, Mate.

I’ve got about 30k miles on my KM3’s and having come from 60k miles on the KO2’s, I love these KM3’s. They’re my first ever mud terrain and I was very anxious about making that shift full time due to noise and streetability - I LOVE these tires. Definitely going with them again when these wear out

@gabrieldalcomune3044

How much tread do you have left with the km3s after 30k miles? I'm looking for an mt that can get me 30k/2 years before looking to change.

My KM3 MTs only have about 8,000 miles of on and off road use. They’re doing great. 1. My tires are loud.....and I love when people hear me coming. 2. My tires climbed a muddy hillside (in the rain, no lockers) while others tried but failed because they had AT tires. 3. My tires are aggressive so the make my JK look like a beast. 4. My KM3 MTs weren’t made to get 60,000 miles out of them. They’re made to be abused off-road. I’m ok with that. I’m sure I’ll be buying another 5 tires in two years🤷🏽‍♂️.

The KM3'S are a great looking tire. I am going to say if you are running a 3/4 ton and up especially if it's a diesel. You may want to look at a different tire. I run them on my truck and on my Jeep. They do great on the jeep ( E rated on both Jeep & truck) Great on a lighter vehicle. If you like the look of a mud tire but would want to get more mileage I'd recommend a different one. I'll admit the performance is good. Longevity not so much. Hope this helps someone and great video.

Haha! Great video. “Hi plant” 😂

I must admit, I love the BF KO2, but they are atrocious in wet conditions! Before I started using the BFG's, I only used the Cooper STT tires, which is one of the best tires out there (my opinion)( I don't know why they stop making them????). The STT's were much better in wet conditions and snow than my BF KO2's, but I reckon the KM3 will be a better all-rounder for me, driving sand, mud, and occasionally snow when I travel to Lesotho Highland. Thanks for your review, I love BF's and 4x4 and all rugged equipment!!! Lastly, BF's are tuff tires that will endure all types of terrains!!!

Love this video. Love the hot take. Only thing I'm left wondering is, which is the go-to for very deep, untreaded snow?

Love your content, curious if you have replaced your tires recently or are you still rolling the original KM3s as of today? Thanks

They look good. But I'm thinking about Falken Wildpeak AT3W 35x12.5x17 for my next tires...To replace mt Goodyear 35 inch M/Ts....

I owned 2 YJ's (more than 20 years ago) both had BFG tires on them, don't know the type anymore, what I do know is they lasted for ever. So when I bought my TJ 2001 4.0 sport a few years ago, I knew I had to get me some KO2 33" All terrain tires. I rotated them every 3000 miles, they are balanced perfectly and have an even wear on all 4 tires. 35% they are used on sand/dirt roads, when we take the dog for a walk. The other 65% is around town on asphalt yet they need to be replaced because the thread is almost gone. I managed to get only about 18.155 miles of use out of them. I'm easy on the gas, I can assure you, we pay 9 Dollar a gallon over here ;-) I can't say this for a fact, but I noticed I'm not the only one with this poor experience, or do they ship the "bad tires" to the Netherlands? I can only conclude that BFG is not what they used to be . . . I'm thinking about cooper tires. Anyone first hand experience with the KO3's?

Need to chalk them so they wear better. I run them on my 2015 F150

Been looking at the KO2 for overlanding, however I know our truck will see +85% street use and have been considering the Toyo AT3 for the lighter weight, about 8lbs per tire vs the KO2. Anyone run both in the past and wish they hadn't gotten the heavier KO2?

So we just recently bought a 4runner I put an old man emu 3 inch lift on because my goal is to ultimately put on 285s of the km3. My question is we have a lot to add on still like armor is my next priority but I know that if I have a set of mud terrains it will help us tremendously offroad. I currently have set of ironman all country at on and can get a set of the mts for like 650 dollars and more quickly have money to spend on armor and such. Or would you hold out and just by the km3s the first round?

I WILL BE BUYING A SECOND PAIR OF KM3,s again. I like it better then the all terrain ko2,s

Its a light truck . I had ko2 and bfg mud terrain. Never again . Nitto trail grappler for life !

20+ years ago you were lucky to get 20K miles from a set of mud tires. Technology has come a long way.

What size are you running on the 16 inch rims?

Has anyone run both the wrangler duratracs and the km3? Have been running the duratracs for awhile now but have thought about switching to this tire. Any thoughts/comparisons?

I like the looks of these tires but after 3 sets of Cooper ST Maxx they have given me no cause to consider a switch to anything else.

I have these, on my jlu. Omg they are awesome. I have about 16,000 on mine. And I abuse mine too.
