BFG KO3 review

Great minds. I've always held the opinion that a BFG treaded (primarily due to its ubiquitous nature) shoe/boot/mountain bike tire/anything round and rubber would be supremely popular..

 

These K03's are pebble magnets. After some light off roading in the Sierra Nevada's I had to pick several small rocks out of the tread with my keys.

 

Just got 265/70/17 c-load KO3s installed on some TRD Sema wheels on my truck. This size in c load just came out last week. Stoked on the look, and they are nice and quiet so far! We’ll see how they do in the winter, but I never had issues with my KO2s in the snow here in Utah.

 

That looks fantastic. Hope they work well. I just picked up a set of the TRD Sport wheels again and I think I might be outfitting them with the same C-load 265/70 KO3s. Just don’t know when.

 

still waiting for 285/70/17 in c with rwl. tire rack said the end of this month.
another site shows them as being able to be special ordered and i saw orig they were $319. now they look like they are $329!

people still enjoying these tires. or should i go a diff route? problem is i really like how aggressive the ko3’s look

 

I'd buy them again.

 

For those that are looking for KO3 285/70/17 load C, I got them for $290 a tire by using their price match with Costco pricing after I let them know that Costco did not charge me to install for $92. Discount Tire list these tires at $320 around here. I was looking at the AT4W but it was a little heavier and taller but I want to keep my stock setup. Hope this helps some of you save a few bucks on a set of KO3.

 

What wheel back spacing are you running on the 285's?

 

who has them for $290 that they price matched it?
or is that just what they reduced the $320 to?

 

Costco doesn't charge for installation, nitrogen, tire rotations, flat repairs, ect, so he saved $92 by getting Discount Tire to agree to Costco's free installation policy. $92 / 4 tires = $23 per tire savings.

 

285's on factory 16" wheels require around 1.25 spacer to keep the tire off the uca. Otherwise, 17" wheel, 17x8.5 width, zero offset. The more negative offset the more .

 

ahhhh ok!

we have a costco coming this year so wasn’t sure.

 

That's correct, thank you MGMDesertTaco.

 

Finally available!

 

Anyone know if they’ll make a 295/70r17 in a C load?

 

They will be releasing a 35x11.5x17 "C" load scheduled for release May 2026.

 

Yeah, I knew that… I just need tires and can’t wait until next summer

 

Got it. Just went to www.tirerack.com and they don't show anything in that size in a "C" load. And nothing in 305/70/17 but there is Nitto, Falken and Toyo in 285/75/17 "C". What are you currently using?

 

OG duratracs. Need something snow traction rated, something that sizes as a small 35” or 34” and on the lighter side… or I just run a used set of falkens for the winter then get what I actually want next spring

 

I’ve been extremely happy with the Yokohama AT4. I got a set because the KO3s weren’t available in my size when I was tire shopping. They might fit the bill for what you’re looking for.
