    Posted a thread while back with some questions about tires, finally decided to wait and order KM3's when they came out. Just got them mounted this morning 33x10.5x15, only put about 10 miles on them so far but I'm so excited!

    Can't wait to get them dirty! Granted they are brand new, but I'm amazed how quiet they are. But I'm biased, the tires they replaced I found out were made in 2004 :rofl:

    I got them at Costco, they fill with nitrogen for free, otherwise no, I wouldn't pay extra for it

    Sweet! I'm looking at that same size for my fj40. Pretty close to pulling the trigger on them. They look great!

    Funny, the guy as Costco said he thought they would look great on an old land cruiser. I've always thought FJ40's looked great with a narrowish tire like a 10.5

    The Bed is stock...ish

    As someone who has worn out a few sets of mud terrain tires, it doesn't really matter the brand, they all get loud around half tread. Religious rotations and keeping the thing lined up might help..

    It's just too bad they won't be offering it in a 255/85r16, otherwise I'd be all over them.

    True, I'm gonna be anal about rotating, and I have lifetime alignment through firestone so hopefully it's not bad. That's a ways off though!

    Nothing like a low profile mud terrain...

    It should be illegal to run those without some fatty wheel spacers

    My experience is, the louder they are on the highway the better they are off road

    $895 installed at Costco. Could have gotten a little cheaper at a few other places, but they didn't include road hazard, Costco does road hazard warranty included with the instal

    Meh, just like a loud exhaust doesn't mean high power, a loud tire doesn't necessarily mean good traction.

    I don’t recall where I read it but I remember reading that size was going to be included in a future (next year) release. Iirc it was actually a response they made to a comment on their facebook page. Hopefully it’s true. I’d like to see a 295/75/16.
