Mud tires

[Daniel Worm]

I've heard good things about the BFG KM3's. If I don't go with Ridge Grapplers, I think the KM3 will be my second choice. In typical BFG fashion, they run small, so guys switching to 37s like to run them.

I've had Ridge Grapplers, then KM3s, and now Yokohama Geolander G003s, and the Yoko MTs are the best I've had. I will be getting another set when these wear out. I have 25K on them, and they don't look half worn in 35x12.5x17. You will get stuck with the RG in soupy mud - they are basically an AT tire with a MT sidewall.

I agree with 500mag. Previously had RGs on my last truck, and they were nice- but currently running Yoko M/Ts and could not be happier. About the same noise level as the RGs as they wore.

I swear by Nitto Trail Grappler MT. Been running them since 2011.

I had the stock KO2s and they last about 20k, then Ridge Grappler for 70k and were pretty good for the highway miles I put on them. Now on to KM3s now that its more of a multi purpose rig. Have a few hundred on them and like them so far.
I had 40" Cooper STT pros on my JK and got rid of them pretty quick. Weak sidewalls. Had 2 rips of the sidewall in about 5k miles. They were used offroad at 8psi. Now on 40" Nitto TG and no problems for them. The TG are awesome in the 40".

grabber x3s load range e
the extra 10lbs of rubber probably makes them tougher
and the slightly stiffer sidewall just means air down more
drive the same as ko2s on road imo except some minor mt howl

I have KM2’s and love them. Obviously the new km3 would be an upgrade

Toyo Open country R/T’s. Fantastic on road, nice and quiet and still aggressive.

im running toyo MTs on mine and also have used them on multiple trucks in the past, after trying multiple brands of mts i ended up using the toyo MTs ever since trying them one time, ive had them lats almost 80k miles on another previous gmc sierra denali pickup, i just rotated them every oil change to even the wear, if you dont roate them the fronts wear out alot faster and will get uneven wear and thats when you will have loud road noise, if they get rotated the road noise if very minimum and i can barley hear it. for the raptor i like to run these tires at about 38 psi for good road comfort, anything above 45 psi on these tires even though you can go all the way to 80 psi on them i wouldnt go over 45 because it will be very stiff and feel all the small road imperfections as these are ten ply thick sideway tires. ive never deflated them driving through mud or other off road types, but if your in some sand or other areas where deflating them will benefit you then i would do it if you have the means to inflate them on the drive back. hope this helps/

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Toyo M/T. The only downside to them is that they are heavy. They will work fine in mud without airing down due to the large voids in the tread which the BFG K02 lacks. The K02 was factory spec’d for its ability in a variety of conditions.

I’d also look at the Cooper STT Pro and BFG KM3. Theyre newer tires, but I’ve heard some positive things about them.

Lastly, I’d take a good look at the Goodyear Duratrac. They were the first with the hybrid all-terrain/mud terrain concept. They aren’t as heavy as a full M/T, nor as loud, and they aren’t quite as aggressive, but if snow is a part of your life, they are far superior. They have better on road manners as well. There are a variety of OEMs using this tire as original equipment and for good reason.
