I would love to get my hands on the new kl3 I've been running ko2s for about 3 years now I'm glad they came out with a new title I'm ready for something new

[hissingoose]

Had a set of KO2’s. Rated for 80, 000kms (same as KO3) realistically lasted only 60, 000 before it was worn past the siping cuts, thus making them absolutely suck in snow.

Went with Dynapro AT2, siping cuts go all the way to the end of the tread… so actually got a bit more than the rated 100, 000kms out of them.

Currently have AT2 “10 plys” on both my Tacoma and af-150. I’ll need to hear from my tire shop who sells both how the much more expensive KO3 holds up.

Should note, I loved everything about the KO2 except the durability.

JUST bought these today. Last set had 60k miles on them but still had probs 1/3 tread left. In-person, side by side…. The new ones are significantly better in every way. I was super skeptical at first but trusted my gut. Couldn’t be happier so far. Fixin to head out on week long trip in west Texas next week w trails and lots of highway. Super confident they’ll do great.

I've had BFG All terrain T/As before the k02. They were really good. Had 3 sets. Went to a general grabber a/t. Wasn't impressed with the handling. I'm definitely looking forward to trying the k03. It looks like it has more sipping and sharper tread blocks. Good for snow and slush. My plan is to put a rough country 2 1/2 inch leveling kit with upper control arms and new rear shocks on and getting the BFG in a 275-65 on an 18 inch rim for my 2016 GMC Sierra.

I’ve had my 20’s for 5 months already. Putting them on finally this weekend!

I bought a set of KO3’s back in February, 275/65R20 for my lifted 20’ expedition—great tire! They are heavy, but the handling is great-much improved. We live in northern Utah and they have excelled in all conditions. Super quiet. Hope y’all can get your hands on them soon! Id post a pic if I could.

Prices will always vary depending on oil prices.
Wish they would release a 37-11.50-17 like the nitto recon grappler

[machiavelli]

I would like to try KO3 but I think I’ll stick with my Toyo AT3 as the wet and dry handling on pavement is exceptional.

[cbeer]

I just want to know about ko3 vs the at4w in deep snow wheeling 😂

[rpitterman]

Just got a set. LT265/70/17, Hope they turn out the way most people tall about the KO2.

[JForr]

If you compare the weight of the 285/70-17 load range c, the ko3 is 6 pounds heavier than the ko2, so what's going on there?

[solomonessix]

I purchased my set for my Rubicon and I've noticed that my rear wheels no longer slip when accelerating from a stop in wet conditions. That boosts my confidence that my vehicle will stay on the road in rainy, something my KO2 struggled to deliver.

[alanlovins]

Disclaimer: I have ran BFGs for years on everything from lifted diesels to FJ40s without any problems, so when I lifted my 4Runner it was pretty much a no-brainer to go with a brand I trust. Been running the KO3s in 285/70/17 on my ‘23 TRD Pro 4Runner for a couple of months now and love them. They’re a big improvement over the stock Terra Grapplers. Highly recommended.

[Theadvofisaiah]

I'm getting mine in 275 70 17! About a 32" on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma can't wait to try them out!

[rlaracue]

I am getting a set for sure. Ideally in a 35x12.5R18 or as close to it as I can get (D or E range if they offer it). I just wish I didn't need to wait until August. Also my guess is given the backlog of demand a KO3 in that size will run in the high 400s or more at launch.

[michaelm-alpha]

I recently purchased the Wildpeak AT4 in size 275 70 17 load C for my tacoma. I might try the KO3 next 💪🏻

[Chops]

I’m sold. Got K02s that have 50k miles on them. Hopefully can get the K03s before next winter.

[BigWheelFab]

I’m going to be needing a set in 39x13.50r17 by the end of the year. Please and thank you.

[bucksnort]

Went from 20" tires and rims to 17" after market rims and KO3's on my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 4x4. More rubber/less rim, taste great/less filling.

[gilisherer]

looking for KO3 265\65\R17 when we can expect for this size ?
