I would like to express my gratitude to Mосавтошина for delivering a set of 5 wheels as I requested, with the same production date of 2019, and when one tire was damaged in a pothole on the Entuziastov highway in 2021, they accepted the order for just one replacement without any issues. Even though it was already September and the winter tire season was in full swing, they still managed to deliver a summer tire to me. I have been buying tires from them for different cars for about 5 years now, and I have not encountered any problems. Perhaps there may be issues with the warranty or punctures, but I have not experienced them yet. Those who write negative reviews, claiming that they did not receive their orders or did not receive calls, are likely making it up. If you live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, you can simply visit their nearest sales office and pick up your wheels, without having to wait for two weeks and complain that you are paying them money while they don't care about your order. I always receive calls and messages about the movement of my wheels. I have sent wheels to regions of Russia, including Kaliningrad, through them a couple of times, and there were no problems. Sometimes I see people complaining about their tire mounting service, but I have never used it, so I cannot comment on it. I have not purchased rims from them, so I also cannot say how that process works. I am writing about what I have actually purchased. I have bought many different tires, and this time I am writing about the BFG KM3.
The LT tires I have are perfect for heavy vehicles. On the highway, when cornering, the car no longer tilts because the sidewall is stiffer than the regular version of the tire. The new KM3 is also very quiet. However, when it's cold, around 80 km/h, there is a slight rustling of the treads, but it completely disappears as the tire warms up. The tire is heavy, with the R18 version of the LT weighing 29 kg without the rim. On my car, fuel consumption increased by 1.5 liters, and with the 5.7 V8 engine, it used to be 23-24 liters in the city, but now it's 25-26 liters. However, the stiffness of the sidewalls when cornering, the quietness, and the softness are worth it. I also liked the LT version because if the car is heavy and rarely leaves the garage, it doesn't become unbalanced after a couple of months like my previous Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac did. I had to balance it almost every month, while the KM3 only needed balancing once, and I forgot about it for a year. The KM3 balanced perfectly, with 60-80 grams per wheel, unlike the Duratrac, which required 100-130 grams. I liked the pressure and wear of the KM3 because if I want a softer ride, I can set it to 2.0 atm, and if I want a more responsive steering and stiffer ride, I can set it to 2.3-2.4 atm, and it provides absolute comfort, without any harshness in the steering. After 8,000 km of driving on the highway and off-road, there is no wear at all. The white stripes on the treads are still intact. Driving off-road, whether on mud or rocks, is no problem. I haven't had to change a tire yet because there's always a traction edge. It grips until the last moment, until you sit on the frame.
I didn't drive on it in the winter, so I can't say how it performs on ice. In November, I only drove on snowy slush and de-icer at 0 and -5 degrees Celsius, and I can say that the Ram doesn't hold well in corners and when braking, and I already want to put on winter tires. It's still a summer tire, not a winter one. It's definitely worth the money. The LT is ideal for heavy pickups and other large vehicles, but for lighter cars like the Niva or Suzuki Grand Vitara, it's better to get the regular tire. It's also cheaper and saves fuel. My last order was 1639244 from 22.09.21, and I picked it up myself at the address Ogorodny proezd, 9A s1. You can check and verify that my review is not fake and that I am a real customer.
