BFG KM3 New Mud Terrain

[alveolartrill]

KM3's 37x12.5x17

Mid Perch
Fenders/liners trimmed
Pinch weld trimmed

So far no rubbing in the city. Will report back when I get a chance to take it on the trail.

Road noise is minimal. It is more noticeable from 0-40 MPH with the widows rolled down.

It is a little bit more bumpy while driving on the freeway.

Can anybody update us on their opinions of this tire? I’m looking to get these or the Toyo MT’s.

After driving a few thousand miles on KM3 37s.

Snow on dirt = Excellent
Snow on tarmac= Good
Ice on dirt = Good
Ice on tarmac= Poor (KO2s might be better on ice)
Sand = Excellent (Great for Baja)
Rock Crawling = Excellent (The tire feels soft and sticky, similar to the R-compound found on racing cars tires)
Mud = Excellent
Rain = Good

Tarmac = KO2s might be better
Everything else = KM3s is better

In case you are wondering if you can fit a spare 37s KM3 under the bed? Yes it fits!

Just installed 37x12.50R17's on mine today. They are on stock offset wheels with mid perch. No rubbing at all. Seriously..for 100% street use on my setup u will not rub. But I will be cutting the shit out of if here soon so I can stuff them. Deaver +3 in rear with RPG shackles.

So for you guys that have the km3 for a bit now. How do the compare to the ko2 and any other off road tire that you’ve had ( toyo rt or nitto ridge grappler?)

did you notice a big fuel economy drop going to the “mud” tire?

how a our road noise compared to any of these?

I’ve had both the nitto and toyo in 37”. Was thinking about these as they have had some decent reviews and look great!

Awesome traction in everything I've put them through. Much better that KO2s and the RGs I had (also in 37). They have 34K on them now and are definitely getting louder though.
