40s Tires Breakdown. Which is the best?

[PorterW1111]

what is your idea of "on-road" time? Are you hoping to drive the truck 1000 miles a month on-road?

I ask because I'd run KR3s or Toyo race tires. If you are going into deep sand, get some paddles.

The "street tire" options in 40" really suck.

I got about a year and a half out of my first set of KR3s. In miles that translated to 5000ish hard offroad miles and about 3000 mixed on-road miles. When I took them off, I'd say that they had 30% left on them. No leaks, some cupping, never even really rotated them, never had a flat or issue.

As long as you don't plan on driving around in ambient temps below 45 degrees, I think you'd like them. I have no idea how many miles you'd get out of them. They aren't cheap.

They just released the 3.0 compound that is supposed to cup/chunk less than the version I have.

This truck will be a toy, grocery getter, weekend cruise truck, I work from home so have no daily commute. The only concern I have about the kr3 is that I’ve heard negative performance in the rain. Being in Florida it rains a lot... so that would be my only concern.
I do want to run the kr3, love the lettering lol but don’t want to use the roll cage cause I slide into a light post doing donuts in the publix parking lot haha

I’m confused is that a kr3? An all terrain kr3?

KR3 = BFG non-DOT Race Tire for high-speed off-road racing. the KOH/Ultra4 crowd tend to run the soft version. Desert folks tend to run the standard. There is a dakar version and there is a new "other" 3.0 version of the tire.

Very Different from a KM3 or a KR2.

There is an "all-terrain KDR2+" , but no all-terrain KR3.

This is the one I was thinking of in a KR3, would look cool!

you can order red white and blue "tire stickers" for whatever tire you run.

This is the KR3 on my truck.

I had the same question a little over a month ago and I wasn’t crazy about the wear I received from the original BFG KO2s after asking members of the forum and weighing out the amount of towing load and highway miles I put on my 2018 Gen 2 I decided to replace them with the BFG KO2s again. Replaced at 34k Miles but they are rated for 50k mikes. I will do a better job of aligning the tires in the future. I hope this helps. In the end it was the load rating that swayed me the most. Good luck!

any experience with the kr3 on wet assphalt? i will likely run into rainy wet roads often and have family in the truck. Basically will they turn into skid on ice, or just not so performant?
