New BFG KM3 Owner’s

[conflict]

Just got my 35’s installed on 18” Method’s.

Wait they make a KM3 fitment for an 18 for our trucks? i'm on their website looking for a KM3 in a LT325/65-18 or a 35/12.5-18 and I dont see it. I see a KM2 in this fitment but not a KM3. Am i missing something here?

You’re missing something, I just looked and they are listed when you search for tires by size. And mine are 35/12.50r18.

How loud are these compared to stock or maybe like the nitto ridge grapplers?

I didn’t notice much difference at all unless I was driving with the windows down and radio down low.

Yes, it’s very similar to the KO2s. I just measured them and it’s a little over 36.

How do they ride on the street?

I feel they do better. I like the more planted ride. But I will say light snow they don’t do good in. But everything else I think they are great for a mud tire. I would buy again for sure. Got about 7000 miles on them and they look like new still. I run 38 psi in them, same as the factory tires. No issues with wear.

Just tested out the KM3's at my local mountain (Big Bear) and here is my 2 cents.

Snow on dirt = Excellent
Snow on tarmac= Good
Ice on dirt = Good
Ice on tarmac= Poor (KO2s might be better)
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

If I were driving 80% street and 20% off-road, I would keep the KO2s.
But I'm driving 60% off-road and I live in CA so KM3's are better suited for me

I have had both tires and I agree 100% with your conclusions. I will keep the KOs and my Raptor, but also keep the KMs on my rock crawler.

These KM3's look way better than the K02's. Starting to grow on me. Can't decide between the ridge grapplers and the KM3's.
