    What's up TW!

    Do run the new BFG KM3s? If so, how do you like them and how many miles do you plan to get out of them?

    Do you think they are good for the weekend warrior that puts a decent amount of highway miles on their truck (~25k-30k miles per year - 75% highway)?

    I am 2wd with a truetrac diff.. so I am thinking if I got a decent M/T tire it would make be more capable but I don't want to be buying new tires every year... especially at $280 a piece. So far my main issue is that my General Grabber AT2s aren't very self clearing so they become slicks fairly easily.


    UPDATE: I have a 4wd now and 285/70/17 Cooper ST MAXX. Currently at 40k and expecting 55-60k out of them. I rotate every 1500 miles

    BFG's are as good as it gets imo. Highway mileage will suffer. Mount them on a spare set of rims for the weekend. You'll likely pay for them with the gas saved.

    I put 285/75/16 KM3s on my 2016 TRD OR at 40k. Now at 86k they are nearly bald. That said I'll buy another set. I think with mount, balance and warranty I paid $1300ish

    finally a full review! Thanks man! You dont know how tough it is to find a full lifespan review. For some reason all the “reviews” online are after 10k miles which tells us nothing haha

    thanks again!

    I'm wishing I would have went with them instead of the KO2s. Next set I'll just suffer through the loss of mpg.

    I recommend Cooper ST MAXX.. I am 40k miles in and expect another 15-20k miles. I rotate every 1500 miles.
