Nitto RG will go 50K+ mi, so that is a plus for them. They are heavier than the KM3s. They are very quiet when newer, but get louder at 40K mi. I've never had the RTs. What is your impression of them? I will need new tires in about 2 mo, and the Toyo RTs are under consideration, along with the Yokohama X-AT (a new hybrid) and the Yokohama Geolander G003 MT.

For what it's worth my buddy who recently sold his tire shop vouches for the X-AT. Says they are absolutely what he would go with right now if looking for something better than OEM K02s.
I went with the G003s. Very happy with them. If I go back to a hybrid, though, it would be the X-ATs.

Nice, those definitely look right. What's your assessment of noise, feel and mpg difference?
Noise: Definitely quieter than KM3s
Feel: Less low speed vibration than KM3s
MPG: Lost 1.3 MPG compared to OEM tires, can't compare to KM3s because those were 37s, and on my previous Rappy.
Offroad traction was superb with KM3s, haven't had these offroad yet. Both excellent in rain.

Do you feel a weight difference with the Yoko?
I've had Toyo MT in 35, KO2 in 37 and now KM3 in 37. Was shocked how heavy the Toyo was. Nearly 20lbs a tire heavier than a 37 KO2!!!
Anyway, I am very impressed with the BFG KM3. Will probably do another set when needed.
I don't really feel it, no. If you like the KM3s, you will love the Yokos.

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.

Looking for an update from you. What have you done for clearance since you installed these? Any rubbing issues at all before the trimming? Looking to run the same tires, also on the same factory wheels, with Fox 3.0's to level the truck and Deavers out back with no additional lift. Thanks!
