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.

Quality out of balance
I bought a set of 4 for my 2020 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. After having them mounted by Discount Tire there was an immediately noticeable vibration from one of the rear tires (or both maybe) at speeds above 60 mph. I took it back to get road force balanced 3 times. Discount tire replaced the two rear tires with new and one of those had the same issue. After my second attempt to get the new tires rebalanced I was forced to go in another direction. It seems balancing issues are quite common with this tire, which makes me feel like there may be a quality control issue. I really wanted to like this tire. They looked great, very quiet, great traction. Good luck getting 4 good ones though. I replaced with a set of NITTO tires which balanced out just fine.
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter persistent vibration. BFGoodrich off-road tires feature tighter beads to help prevent unseating during off-road use, and in some cases improper bead seating during installation can contribute to vibration issues. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you were pleased with the tire's appearance. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please call us at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Do Better
I am a certified master Automotive Tech. I had installed ko2 and had tried a million times to balance the tires , my truck always had a shake to it and you could literally watch the hop on the balancer! Note: performed road force balance! I swore off bf Goodrich. My buddy bought a set for his 26 colorado and swore by them. They look really good so I thought I'd give them a chance again! Same crap as I bought before! They are a heavier tire than what comes stock so expected a gas mileage change as it did by 2 liters/100 k, these tires were fairly expensive and I've balanced twice, watching the hop in the tire, very disappointed in these tires! If I could have sent them back I would have! They look good but do better!
We're sorry to hear that your experience with the All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires has been disappointing. We understand how frustrating it can be to invest in a premium set of tires and continue to experience vibration and balance issues. BFGoodrich designs its off-road tires with tighter beads to prevent unseating. This is critical especially when tires are aired down for off-roading.

Endless vibrations
Like several other customers, I'm having trouble getting these tires balanced. After 3 regular balancing and 1 road-force attempt, the vibration at 65-70 mph just won't go away. Luckily, they are still under warranty. The tires don't even have 500 miles.

Rock magnets
Good tire but they pick up so many rocks on a gravel rock. Rocks fly out for a good 5 minutes once you hit the highway.
Balanced just fine
Great tire sounds like Yall need to learn how to balance 😂
Horrible wear and treadlife
Great traction, unfortunately I only got 26,000 miles out of the tires. I'm meticulous with my tires I rotate them every 5000 miles they are chalk tested And properly aired . I will never purchase another BFG brand tire again Oh yeah Can I give you a tour go ahead Can you put a date in here real quick Hang on put these dates in real quick for my tires OK

There awesome I live in New York City and they are handling the rough streets with ease and rain as well can’t wait for the snow to see how well they do
They Won't Balance
Similar to many others here, I just bought a set of 295 / 65 R20 and they will not balance. Bad vibration starts around 40 MPH and gets worse as speed increases. About to replace them with a new set and see if we have the same issue. I have never had an issue with the KO and KO2 tires, but these KO3s seem to be notorious for this.

KO3s nothing to say but GARBAGE don't buy not better than KO2s
Had KO2s on both of my trucks for 20 plus years a excellent tire than couple years ago i made a big mistake. I ended up buying KO3s what a waste of money i had 2 alignments done still garbage i took them off my truck what a waste of $2000 . I ended up buying a different brand GENERAL which im having no problems a way better tire than that garbage KO3s start selling KO2s and i might change back .

phenomenal longevity
2nd set of these tires - have the KO2 on the 2023 4Runner and they are on 45+k miles with easily 40% tread remaining. the K03 that i have on the F350 have been great - already taken them on "Primitive" roads and they have been great. noise, handling and traction are phenomenal, especially for a mixed use tire.
