Review Summary
Customers praise the tires for their remarkably quiet highway performance and exceptional traction in wet, snowy, and icy conditions, with many highlighting confident off-road grip on gravel and mud. However, a substantial group reports severe balancing issues requiring multiple attempts and causing vibration above 65 mph, with some needing excessive weight. Several compare unfavorably to the previous model, citing weight penalties and reduced performance. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the traction and quiet ride worthwhile for all-terrain use.

Grip/Durabilty/Traction/ Live in UT great in the snow.
Good first impression
Update of my prior review
Poor balancing
Absolutely 💯 junk from day 1, they wont balance after 3 shops. BF knows this!!! Less than 10k miles on these and I wouldn't give them away.
Great in the wet
Way better wet traction than KO2s and especially the competitors I took off. Those were like ice skates. I can't really talk about durability as Ive had them 4 months but I have gone wheeling twice and haven't had any issues.
Jury is out on these.....3.8/5 isn't good.....fingers crossed
Well BFG....I've waited and now have the C rated OEM 37s on my Raptor. Turns out DT used a lot of weights to balance these 66 lb tires. Taking them off road this week and will update my review after 500 miles in the Mojave
We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback, and it’s great to hear you’re putting them to the test in real-world off-road conditions. Larger, heavier tires can sometimes require additional balancing and we’re glad your installer was able to get them set for you. We look forward to hearing your updated review after your time in the Mojave. If you have any questions or need further assistance, give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

I bought an E load set of these tires for my 23 GMC 3500 AT4 knowing the common complaint of balancing these tires. That seemed to be the only issues I could find online so I asked Kal-Tire prior to purchasing if they had experienced any issues with balancing and they said no so I went ahead with the purchase. Looks wise, these tires are fantastic, however that is about as far as I can give credit. Within 7000 kms the tires had to be balanced 2 more times from excessive shaking at 90-110 km'h as well as they started to wear like they were deteriorating excessively and appeared to be failing (even with a perfect wheel alignment) so I went back to Kal Tire and they were warrantied. The second set I had put on were smooth on the highway right off the hop so I was super happy, however that is quickly where that ended. I currently have less than 800 km on these new replacements and I noticed the sidewall had a hole looking defect to it. Upon further inspection, the sidewall was crumbling in 1mm pieces like coarse black pepper or even parmesan cheese when touching it with your finger. I again have had to go back to Kal Tire who immediately said that is a defect for sure. I now do not trust this brand and I never should have purchased these. I cannot get a refund on these tires from BFG so I am basically out $2500. Just stay away from these tires cause in my experience, the quality control on these is less than subpar. Should have stuck with Toyo AT3
Unable to balance
Unable to get a smooth ride from the tires. I have had them balanced 3 times and I still get shaking at certain speeds. This is my 4th set of BFGs and highly disappointed with this set.
We’re sorry to hear you have had balancing issues with your All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. BFGoodrich designs its off-road tires with tighter beads to prevent unseating. This is critical especially when tires are aired down for off-roading. Problems might arise if the tires aren’t seated properly. We recommend sharing a quick video tutorial of proper install with your dealer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZcVeJQaOc If additional support is needed, our Consumer Care team would be glad to help review your concerns and discuss next steps.

These tires have seen many burnouts and still loo brand new 10/10 I pulled a van out of a snow filled ditch no problem with a 1500
Cant get KO2 to balance
Joey, we are sorry to hear you hare having balancing issues. Because these tires are designed with a tighter bead for off-road performance, vibration can occur if they are not seated uniformly on the wheel. We recommend working with your dealer to review installation and setup, or contacting our Consumer Care team for additional support at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Will not balance!
After my KO2’s wore out, had a new set of KO3’s installed on my truck at the dealer where I bought my truck. Been back twice and they will not balance. Terrible vibration at highway and interstate speeds. Very disappointed!
