Great Tires!
I purchased these to replace the factory Duratrac tires on my 2020 Colorado ZR2 and kept the factory tire size (265/65R17). Soon after my purchase I took a 1,000+ mile road trip. At 80+ mph, the ride was very smooth. I did not experience any balancing issues that have been noted on some of the other reviews. These tires are a bit nosier than the Duratracs. Overall, I am very pleased with these tires! I have had BF Goodrich all terrain tires on previously owned 4X4's and they have always performed very well. I look forward to many adventures with these tires!!
Awesome tires,
These K03s are amazing. Only downfall is last I heard they don’t make load range D for half tons. I bought a new truck, and put these on right away. Better ride and I know they will perform great,
Sidewall Too Tender
Traction is awesome with these tires. I run 10 pounds of air in them with dry conditions climbing granite, decomposed granite, rocks and in the sand. I've recently been in the snow too. The tire holds onto snow as advertised. The sidewalls are falling apart and I'm so disappointed. The outer (black) layer is peeling off and exposing the white underneath. They looked awesome until I really used them. Once i took them offroad they started crumbling. I'm waiting for them to stop holding air soon because they were too tender on the sidewall. KO2s never had this problem.
Great except for very frustrating balancing issues
The tires would be everything they are supposed to be if you can get them balanced. Have been to dealer twice for balancing and stress testing. The vibrations between 40mph and 70 are horrible. The tests they ran showed 3 tires in the high 40's and one was a 3??? Doesn't say much for the BFG quality control. Very disappointing. With many similar reviews you would thing they would be acting to help, buy back replace or something.
We are sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. BFGoodrich designs its off-road tires with tighter beads to prevent unseating. This is critical especially when tires are aired down for off-roading. Because of this feature, problems might arise if the tires aren’t seated properly. The tires may look installed correctly but the tires sometimes won’t be seated uniform against the wheel edge. Please consult with the dealer to ensure that the proper lubricant is applied to both the rim flange and the tire bead during the mounting process.

Good offroad performance
Did fantastic in the clay slop. California valley clay is no joke, but even without airing down in my 2500 I was able to push through deep clay just barely touching the diff, they definitely self clean very well, caked everything up on the truck. But they kept pushing me forward.
Worst tire I've purchased
Coming from the K02 I was excited about the new K03. That's being said I immediately regretted it. The tires were rebalanced 3 times with zero difference. The vibration from 15mph and up was drastic enough to have concern about actual damage to my F150 Raptor. Dealer on the 3rd try had something like 12 Oz of weights on it, which is absurd in itself. I really belive that BF Goodrich should pull this product from the market before a class action lawsuit happens in regards to damaged cars and truck from vibrating thier vehicle apart....yes that bad. I never really leave reviews but considering the price and major issues with this product I felt compelled to do so. Buyer beware...sorry BF

Outstanding All-Terrain Performance
These KO3s exceeded my expectations from day one. The traction and handling are outstanding on both pavement and dirt, with zero road noise for an aggressive tire. They ride smooth at highway speeds and grip confidently in wet or loose terrain. The durability feels solid, and they look great on the truck—perfect balance of performance and appearance. After several trips hauling and off-roading, they’ve proven to be reliable and worth every penny.
Maybe Watch Out
When I first got them, they rode like rocks for the first 500 miles. For the last 5000 miles, and I put around 20k on them so far. I can now 1) hold an annulment and 2) can't keep them ball-ended. For the last 500 miles after my last serve, where I got everything taken care of, my mechanic told me my tires are chapping a lot already. I work with the Duke Line Crews, and I drive a ton, and I know I put a lot of miles on my tires, but for the money, I expect more from them.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. We’re sorry to hear they’ve been riding rough and showing signs of wear so early. KO3s are built with a tighter bead for off-road durability, which can sometimes affect ride comfort and balance if not installed precisely. Please have your dealer call us so we can discuss possible troubleshooting options to see if we can fix this issue with the help of your shop.

Balance beads ko3
I see lots of reviews complaining about vibration. Some people also had this problem with the ko2s. I’ve had both now and always run balance beads. The rebalance every time the vehicle stops. I drive a 1000 mile trip 4 times a year at 80+ mph. Never had a vibration issue. Wet road handling is much better than the ko2. All around I’m very happy with this new design.
What happened to quality?
Ion rally like my KO3 but now that my circle D model are coming to the end of there life. Im concerned about the Goodrich quality as far as balancing goes. I’ve heard a lot of reviews and it’s not good. With nothing but apologies but nothing about what’s being done to fix quality control. Thank you I’ll keep looking for quality. My opinion and apologies. See it means nothing.
