Tyre reviews BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 40

Excellent tire that works well on both hard asphalt and off-road surfaces.
The feeling of using it is all positive, it hums quietly, and its wear resistance is one of the best!

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.

For off-road, it's perfect. The big ones don't make a sound (265/75/16 on Mitsubishi Sport), while the smaller ones (215/75/15) on the Niva make a bit of a noise from 50 to 65 km per hour. But after the rain, driving off-road is boring – like on a tram. Never regretted the purchase once.

My size is 265 70 R16. I've driven it for 2 summers. The wear is 2mm per season, approximately 10,000 km. For comfort on bad roads, the pressure needs to be 1.9-2.0. If it's higher, it rides very harshly over potholes. On gravel and mud, 1.7-1.8 is good, it grips well and confidently, the car doesn't skid. Before this, I drove a Gudrich AT for the summer, there's no difference in driving characteristics, and MT is even less noisy than AT. On mud, MT grips and self-cleans better. The tire is very strong and durable, it wears out slowly. The downsides are noise, poor rolling resistance, and stiffness. But these downsides turn into advantages on off-road.

This is a great off-road tire for its intended purpose. When driving on public roads, it's noisy and wears out quickly. However, on mud and rocks, you can be confident that it won't let you down.

12.10.2023, I ordered BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM3 285/75 R16 tires - 5 pieces. They arrived quickly, as promised, thank you to managers Kristina and Ksenia. I bought these tires to replace Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar. The car rides much smoother on BFGoodrich, it handles mud excellently, and on gravel roads, the car is stable and manageable, with great handling. This is a leader in the production of off-road tires. One minus - the PRICE!

I bought tires at Mosavtoshina. For off-road driving. They fully correspond to their price. Wonderful tires for all occasions and for driving on any surfaces.

Good day. I ordered Goodrich tires for the Niva Bronto car for off-road trips, as well as comfortable driving on asphalt. They fully justify their price. Leaders in their segment.

Best tires, minus one - the price, before that I used km2 all year round, the mileage on them is 94,000 km, I think the new tires will last no less

Tread is normal. It starts to make noise from 90 km/h, and even then moderately. 120 km/h is a comfortable speed to drive.
