Hey Everybody! im sorry ive been a terrible Tacomaworld member latley its hard to keep up with all the different outlets these days!

Here's some pics of the new tires!

 

Did these have the white lettering on one side? Or were both sides all black?

 

i dont remember seeing any white lettering on these new ones.

 

Do you know if they were their final product?

 

I couldn't say for sure. I know mine were all inspected and finalized and deemed safe for the road so i was aloud to keep them other giys had to give theirs back because they were pulled right off the line and not technally finished. If they don't have the white lettering, i wouldn't let that sway you. I know im a bit bias but i would nerves steer you guys wrong. These tires are the best MT ive ever used. Better than any rig with Mrs ive ridden in. They are smooth reasonably quiet the grip up crazy well and the tread wall is super beefy. We beat the crap out of them and they held up great

 

Have you had them in the snow and wet rock yet? KM2's were horrible in those and KM3's don't look a ton different if im being honest.
Side wall made any beefier than the km2? I've seen those rip open super easily

 

I’m glad you like them, and it’s awesome that you got to keep them. I’m most likely gonna buy this tire when the time comes to buy new tires. To know that you approve of them is good news. I enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work.

 

these look beef.

 

Tires look great! Any good winter reviews yet? I need new tires but am willing to wait for these to be released if they drive decent in the snow/ice. I'm running general grabbers and i think any tire at this point would be better.

 

Maxx, any noticeable affects to your mpg?

Subbed! Love watching your YouTube vids man! Keep it up!

 

The lack of any sipping is a tell-tale sign it's not going to be good in snow/ice conditions (deep snow is another story). Just like any other MT out there, they aren't made for that. Need to have reasonable exceptions is all.

 

Not much siping because simply it is a MT like you said, it would have bad chunking if they did sipe it more. Also was hoping they'd improve the sidewall tread. They did a little but not enough

 

It looks like it goes a little further down (1/3rd of the sidewall), similar to the K02's.

 

Yeah it does, but I meant I wish they would have made it more aggressive. The 40" Nitto Trail Grapps have an amazing side wall tread, probably the best of any radial MT tire in my opinion. Not sure why they don't put it on the smaller sizes

 

going off of what the engineers said when i talked with them this is an all new tire with a tougher side wall and new technology to help it grip on slick surfaces the outer portions of the tread are coated with a softer rubber which allows it to grip better in wet conditions. im not sure about snow yet but im hoping i can test them out soon. also we went out of our way to try and tear a side wall and couldn't remember the km2 is ten year old technology.
