Thanks Fanttik for sponsoring, Your 3 in 1 Inflator found a permanent home in one of our trucks 👏 - geni.us/FanttikX9Ultra
??? Would you know if the TOYO tires are strong enough to put on my 14+,000 lb Class “C” RV.
I spend a lot of time driving in the south Desert 🌵
Thanks and Great review Chanel 😊
How do you recharge your Fanttik X9 Ultra? Looks like it's not 12V (cigarette lighter) compatible?
Why don’t you respond to any of these comments?
I've owned over a dozen trucks, multiple 1 ton and 3/4 /on duramax and cummins. Running both bfg and Falken on all. Tire weight was very noticeable on the tundra. Like a huge difference. Maybe not on the right suspension, but on an average build, it's definitely noticeable.
Un-sprung weight makes a huge difference at speeds above rock crawling. On a dirt road at speed a 10lb difference can be a big performance difference. It becomes more noticeable the lighter the vehicle and the longer the travel of the suspension. People don't talk enough about the weight of tires and rims for off road driving. It may be meaningless to the rock crawlers. But for driving on washboard roads it is a big consideration.
I got 65k on my MT Baja Boss at.. on my 2015 Duramax, used for pulling rv cross country best tires I have ever owned hands down.
They work crazy good n sand and wet traction and did so good in mud for me in Montana when ice was melting on a trip
I'm rolling on K03's right now in a 285/70/17. Got them from Discount Tire in December. They're fantastic only have just over 4k miles on them though.
Any updates?
Any update
I love the Toyo AT3. Based on doing hundreds of sets of these tires, Toyo tires have always impressed me with their build quality and long lasting performance. Every time I’ve ever driven a vehicle with Toyo AT3s it’s been very comfortable and the handling is good and you can’t feel the tread. When balancing this tire I have always been impressed with how straight, and how consistently straight these tires spin and how little weight needed to balance them. I’ve also been very impressed with their ability wear out evenly with significantly less cupping, feathering, and other means of uneven wear compared to other tires. As well as the fact that it’s relatively light and looks cool too. By far my favorite tires to run on something like an SUV or Truck that commonly sees dirt and rocks and occasionally sees snow and rock crawling, while still behaving very well on dry road surfaces.
I ran the AT3s and they were progressively worse after 10k miles. Continental Terrain Contact ATs were way better.
I’ve had horrible experiences with Toyo tire tires. Wore uneven, became loud and the mileage was significantly less than the BFG’s. We have 4 service trucks that have ran both over the last few sets. Generals were better than the Toyo’s but the BFG’s wore better than them all.
My dually that is used only to tow and toes a lot and my last 3 sets have been Toyo at3s and they all got 70k on them I was amazed
Rain performance goes out the window after a little bit of miles tho
Horrible experience with my open country's. Wore quickly and unevenly wouldn't purchase again
Really interested to get a review of the new Duratrac RT. The OG Duratrac's big issue was weak sidewalls, which has apparently been fixed, so may now be a decent competitor to AT4W/KO3.
no stock size of 265/75r16 which is kinda of mind blowing but at least less options to choose from
how weak the duratrac at are? Because I've been using 6 ply rating with 2 ply sidewalls muddies (linglong tyre) carrying 1700++ of produce from the depth of Borneo to the nearest town that have paved road with no issue regarding sidewall puncture.
@@gonsungar9420 Honestly, I think the weak sidewall thing is something that's just regurgitated by everyone who reviews them with very few actually having experienced a problem. I'm on my second set and it's never been an issue. In fact, I think it's a pro on the street.
I don't go wheelin a ton but where I do go is definitely rocky with opportunity to puncture. I also load up the truck pretty good and tow an enclosed trailer.
I'm curious about the new Duratrac's performance because it looks like they've gone with a slightly tamer tread than the original.
I had liked the Duratrac’s on my 1500 Ram. One day I was dropping off a 31ft camper that we had rented, and when I went to air down the tires for the ride home I noticed a big bulge in the front right sidewall. Sold the remaining 3 tires the next day. It has KO2’s now, but mostly because they come in 34’s.
Just bought some K03 tires for my 2020 Tacoma in a 285/70R17 size. Looking forward to testing them out! First trip will be in the snow here in California in a week and a half.
Do you have an update?
How did they perform?
Update?
Update?
If you live in warm climate that does see a lot of rain would you pick the BGF KO3 or the Falken AT4W? I drive a Ram 1500 and once the stock tires are done I want to upgrade. Thanks for the great videos!
My 1500 came with AT4W stock
I have 100k miles on my Baja boss at. 7000 pound Denali and tow often. This tire has been phenomenal in everything I’ve thrown at it. My only issue is I wish they’d make a 8 ply for a happy medium to fit my needs. 10 ply is great but it’s a little much for my needs. It’s currently at 5/32s tread left. I’ve been looking at the at4w and ko3 for a 8 ply option. I try to keep this truck out of mud as much as possible. Have only had to 3 times in about 4 years and this tire has been the best I’ve ran. I wasn’t happy with the Toyo at3. Started chipping away pretty bad and dry rotting in a year.
275/55r20. 20x10s is my wheel set up.
I have always seen people talk crap about one tire vs the other. Some like it , some don’t. I think like everything is good at something’s, but fail in others. Most people that run a tire will hate it, but they don’t off road, just drive in the street. To each their own. For me, the Toyo RT has been great for all around. Trails, prerunning, street vs the ko2. Great off road, but slippery in wet. 05 f250.
I like the Toyo RT a lot… it’s a solid tire.
Beautiful vehicles and great tire review content in freaking real world conditions. Got to subscribed😊
I have one of the smaller X9s for my motorcycle. Its great! It also has different save settings so you can use it on different vehicle without having to chance the PSI too much.
They are so handy… I use mine all the time.
@OutdoorAuto Hoping I'll get to use mine more once I throw a set of Trail Boss A/Ts on my truck and hit the trails. Hoping I won't have to use it on the bike often.
Had KO2s and duratracs before… currently on 4th set of Dynapro AT2s. AT2’s retain decent snow grip through the entire tread life and aren’t buzzy on the highway.
I just had to get new shoes and went with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss for a 4Runner. After having Falken Wildpeak AT3s i couldn’t be any more pleased with my choice. Quiet, handles solid in mud and wet and snow. All around rockstar tire. I’ll put another set on when these wear out.
The Toyo AT3 is a great tire. In my experience it has extremely good tread life as well. Towing heavy trailers and currently at 53k miles and still going. Really wanting to try out the Falken AT4 as my next set though…. Just not sure what to do….
A friend of mine that owns a farm with a few trucks tried them. He has been happy with Falken's so far. But i just bought a set of Toyo OC AT3, I'll never buy any other brand unless they make drastic changes. Went from K02 to Toyo, never been happier with a tire purchase. The K02s wore out fast, they didn't do good in wet or snow, which where i live is the main things we have other than Dry. Toyo, totally different ball game, better MPG, ride quality, handling, traction, braking all vastly improved in Dry, Wet, Snow
So why would someone pick the Falken over the Micky Thompson? They sound good at the same things (but the Falken is heavy). Great video
I’m rolling KO2’s on my 2020 RAM 1500 5th gen in the Netherlands (Holland) Love them in ligt terrain and dry roads. In wet conditions they are spinning real easy in 2wd. My next tyres will be KO3’s.
As a caution to viewers and reading online...just because it's mentioned the tire "comes" with 3 ply, it does NOT mean that all sizes come like that. ALWAYS make sure they do (if it's something you care about)...
This is a VERY good point.
KO3 will never come out. Going to end up with AT4W at this rate. People need new tires now.
People need new tires all the time
But all the time includes now. @@AA-vr8ez
I’m in the same boat for my Adventure Van. Looking for the quietest 3peak AT 31/32” x 17 E rated tire
Discount Tire is showing them available in August.
@JoeCram that'd be the Michelin at
I would like to know where is the dirt road along the river with the rock peaks ? Love your videos and thank you for the great content.
I believe that is the road that goes by arrow rock dam outside of Boise
The big question I have is how the KO3 will be on mud. I know they aren’t a mud tyre but I would want them to be at least as good as the KO2 which I find acceptable.
Awesome video with candid explanations for all the tire criteria🤙🏼 I’d love your take on the Kenda Kleever RT and MT2
I was just looking at those at Expo... I am going to reach out to @kendatiresusa and see if I can get some to review on the channel.
Glad to see the Mickey Thompsons getting some use, everyone seems to say positive things about them and then they run Falkens and BFGs instead 😅 I didn't think the warranty was that short though, my 33s come with a 60k warranty.
I bought my 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4 in July 2023 and it has KO3’s on it.
That fanttik is a damn good deal. Wish more battery packs offered a decent compressor onboard.
Dude, you are REALLY FARKIN good at this...I'd buy ya lunch but Im a bit far away. Appreciated!!
Just got a set of ko3 installed today.
Congrats!
Mickey Thompson baja boss all terrain tires are my go 2 tires...love them
I went with at4w. Had k02s and absolute garbage in wet weather. Hell, they were trash in damp conditions. Hope these k03s are better.
I think there is a strong argument to be made that the Baja boss AT is the best rounded tire on the market right now. Still doing kenda for my summer tire but I’m resisting the boss and the at4 purchase.
Can't wait..confirmed with BFG at the mint 400, K03 release in May 🔥
Including 37” ?
Long live KO three load C! Damn you falcon and Mickey Thompson for your heavy pig tires. I’ll be rock crawling with my KO threes one day one day
Thanks for another great video! Running KO2s on a Jeep now, less than thrilled with wet and winter performance. Any reservations about running AT4Ws on a (non 392) Jeep? Too beefy? Better off waiting for KO3s?
4:50 $250! That's for sure Fanttik
any word on the duratrac RT ? id like to see you review that one
I have a feeling that whenver KO3's are finally available... they're going to be veeeeeerrrrry hard to get.
I have purchased two sets of tires based on your videos.. The manufactures would be crazy not to help.
I didn’t know about the supply issue, I got a set of KO3 in January 2024. My tire guy ordered it and it came in a week later. No issues then
What size? That is the problem
@@2shoestoo 285/70/17 for my Toyota
I was waiting for a full year for the KO3 and i just could not wait anymore and settled for the KO2
What would be your goto tire for all terrain with snow peak??
I like the Baja boss. They’re great. Quite. If you don’t get the lt they comes with 60k warranty. Good for weekend warriors
I would have to get LT or anything I drive... I do love the Baja Boss' - I reviewed them in an earlier video and I still run them on the 80 series Land Cruiser.
@@OutdoorAuto ya I just needed tires. Have you done the order of steps to get work done on the truck yet?
I have learned a ton watching your product reviews - cannot thank you enough. Would like your opinion:
I have a 2020 AWD Ford Transit (3.5L Eco Boost) campervan fully loaded at ~9000lbs. Running BFG K02’s 245/75/16 E rated on method rims. We do a lot of snow driving to western ski areas and in summer many miles on Sierra Nevada forest service roads - in summer I typically air down to 25-30psi for washboard but have never aired down when winter driving. My current KO2s have 35k miles and already need to be replaced - they have performed really well for us. Given the fast reduction in tread wear do you recommend we switch over to the Falcon Wildpeak vs KO2/3?
After so many tests….What are your thoughts on the BFG KM3?
Thank you fantik!
I just bought a set of ko3 I’m loving them on day one 😂
Im really glad you mentioned the Toyo open country at3. Just got a set on my work truck, Ram 2500 cclb diesel with 285/6020 load E. Idrive 60-70k miles a year. Had a few sets of Destination Xt and got 45-50k miles out of them. Day after I got the Toyos put on had an 8” snowfall and they were great. I’ll come and update this in the future with how the Toyos last…. If I remember 😂😂 I guess should also add 90% highway and 10% gravel and I can have loads upward of 1500-2000lbs on board .
How about the new at4w compared to coopers new stronghold...u have a review on them 2 comparing?
I've been waiting around 6 months hoping the KO3 would come out. Since then Falken released the AT4W, and I have grown to like the Mickey Baja Boss.
BFG really missed the mark on their release of the KO3. I had been a die hard BFG fan for the last decade. Now I don't think I'd purchase a set today if they were released. I am tired of them stalling, and the competition has caught up or surpassed BFG.
The K03 305/70R17 is finally available for my 4Runner, but it’s a Load Range F….. F seems a little “too” stiff of a sidewall for off-roading, right? Am I missing something here? I can’t see another load range option.
What u think about the new Good Year Wrangler RT ?
Recommendation for mud and sand (florida)
Would like your thoughts on the Maxxis Razor at
Discount Tires shows Aug 2024 for the size I need. Still going to get Mickey Thompsons
That sounds about right... 2nd half of 2024... I wonder if there will be another delay.
Falken Wildpeak AT4W owner here. 34s on a TRD Pro 4Runner in illinois. This tire makes me miss the AT3W. MUCH more recognizable POOR performance in wet and snow. In gravel, dirt and mud conditions in the Midwest trails, the KO2 is a preferred tire. Selling these AT4’s now! What a disappointment
Great info, thanks! When you say the KO2’s and KO3’s you run are lighter, are you using C or E load?
depends on the vehicle... I run both.
@@OutdoorAuto I’ve run back to back sets of KO2’s on my 4Runners in C load and never had an issue no matter the terrain but now I’m getting heavier with the addition of a RTT, drawer system, battery and 55L fridge. Was contemplating going to E’s for my next set of hopefully KO3’s
My choice will lie between the Baja Boss and KO3 for my Toyota Prado 150.
I currently have a '21 Ranger running MT Baja Boss A/T fast approaching 40K miles, pushing for 50K. My driving is 65/35 highway/dirt, rock, water crossing respectively. What do you recommend for the next set of tires?
Have you guys looked at the Delium Terra Raiders yet?
I have actually never heard of those...
Will it be true to size or undersized like they currently are?
Can you also use the Fanttik to air down and if not, what is the best way to air down to your desired psi? TIA
No, the fanttik doesn't air down... I use these to air down all 4 tires quickly to a preset PSI - amzn.to/44jC7JF
@@OutdoorAuto great, thanks! And what do you do (if anything) to prevent your "low tire pressure" gauges from coming on? Or do you just ignore that?
When are you fighting Michael Chandler?
tyre for the wood truck...yokohama geolander A/T XD?
Ranger Raptor is has KO3 original equipment not just Chev trucks
Great info! thank you
It does rain all the time here in BC. That's the reason I hated the KO2s. Horrible on wet pavement.
You need to do a review on the Fanttik X9. It looked like a fairly decent air pump and may be a decent air up solution to use between two vehicles.
Nice Tundra 👍👍
Thanks, it is a super fun truck
What is the best tire on the beach with sugar sand.
Any AT tire that is aired down to around 8 PSI.... Large, aggressive shoulder lugs actually work a bit against you because they dig...
Tires are getting expensive like everything else. I wanted a set of ko3s for my fj in 287/70R17s. My wholesale price is 354.00each. No way I m paying that kind if money for tires.
we need an updated baja boss
Is the KO3 available for purchase?
I’m hearing some time in May it goes to wide release.
If BFG didn't change the way these KO3 tires are made, I would never buy one !! Had a KO3 MT tire from the factory on my Jeep that had internal ply separation at 30K miles!!! Never will I buy BFG tires again!
Interesting note... You can definitely tell they have changed how they manufacturer them by the mold markings... but I haven't been able to talk to a BFG Tire Engineer and get an explanation on what exactly they have changed in the manufacturing process... my guess is that change is probably what is causing the delays... new style of manufacturing is a big job to setup.
I would not trust any battery air compressor if I had the pressures dropped down to 5PSI!!! That is just asking for it!!!
Get a 10 lb CO2 tank and you'll never look back! Never heard of an adjustable high flow regulator or a CO2 tank failure!!
I actually ran a powertank for a while... they are awesome, great product and great company. But I eventually got tired of trying to locate places to fill it up when I was on long trips. I found myslef carrying a portable ARB and the tank... and eventually I just couldn't justify the weight.
@@OutdoorAuto
I have a CO2 tank that I put together and is way less expensive than a power tank. There are several videos on YT where these compressors designed for large off road tires have failed and I just couldn't take that risk. It may be a good idea to carry a 2nd backup compressor if you are relying on it solely! There are plenty of CO2 sources where I live so it's not an issue.
the tire brand that all are judged by.
It’s kinda true… they’ve been a good company for a long time.
Not anymore, it's the falken now for the last couple years.
Nah, just the k02.
no doubt about that. @@dubious6718
@@EmotoOregon that's what I run now.
Get some Michelins and be done with it.
I'll take Maxxis Razor AT811 over all those tires.
Why?
When the hell is this guy going to talk about the ko3 tire lame video
Let it rain the province will probabley be up in smoke again. I hope not
Nokian outpost nat
My gmc sierra at4 HD came with the ko3 decent tire
Massive spelling problems here guys. Two examples: bitters are not biters. Bitters taste bitter. Biters bite.
Also, sipping is what you do to tea, it has nothing to do with sipes and siping.
And yes, it matters, because what you're writing is not what you're trying to say.
What can I say... I have massive dyslexia and spelling has always been tough... still hasn't stopped me from starting several successful companies, retiring at 41 and choosing to make helpful videos for people interested in off-roading with my spare time... I probably will never make a video without a spelling error... if for no other reason... just to bug people like you.
These keep getting better. Well done man.
I would love it if you reviewed or at least gave your impression on the Kenda Klevar R/T.. not a lot of good reviews out there and you do a fantastic job
My buddy put a set on his Chevy tracker and loves them definitely a better off-road tire than the ko3. Ice traction is great as well The only downside is they are a softer rubber compound and wear out faster. Also, I have another buddy that got the kenda klever M/T.
Awesome videos. I would love to see a review of Nokian NAT. Lightweight, less aggressive at tire that is supposed to be great in icy/snowy conditions. Thanks,
It’s interesting that no one ever talks about the Firestone destination XT. it’s quiet, does well off road, and great on wet roads. Love them on my truck! It’s like a slightly more aggressive ko2.
The destination X/T is the best all terrain tire sold...also not sure why it's overlooked. It's quieter, WAY better in the snow and has an awesome design with interlocking sipes and tread blocks. It's so much better than all of these, it's not even funny.
2 ply sidewall...@@tommyistommy
@@kevinstarski1598 they are not 3 ply sidewall, you are correct. Never had any issues with sidewall strength even on my heavy 2500 suburban off road. I actually had sidewall issues with Falken and Coopers I previously ran, both of which had a 3 ply sidewall.
I would love to see the X/Ts directly tested against it's contemporaries to confirm my positive experiences.
And they are incredibly light! Those are going to be my next tire. Excited to try them.
My buddy popped two of them on some light rocks. Definitely not good for anything but wash roads and trails. Snow performance was lacking to.
Been on BFG's on every 4x4 I've owned for the last 15 years, decided to try a brand that I used while drifting. I figured if they can make a car tire that can handle the abuse I should try their truck tire, so far I'm pretty impressed with the Kenda Klever for the $$/Performance ratio.
Been running ko2s in Colorado for almost 10 years straight w zero issues in snow. The people who complain bout them in snow clearly just need strict winter snow tires cuz some solid ATs work just fine if you know how to drive 😂
On a second note I’m excited to try the ko3s as me next set on the gx and f250
I really want those KO3s. Unfortunately the AT4Ws don't have 3ply sidewalls in the size I need for 3rd gen 4runner. Been running KO2s (now really dead) but the ride is pretty rough because they're load E in my size but I love the peace of mind that comes with their sidewall strength.
Great reviews. I run the Mickey Thompson Baja legend exp's. 315/75/16s on my 2017 Tacoma. My first set I got 76k + mi . I just put a second set on recently. I'm very satisfied with their durability and longevity. Does good in the snow and ice . Gravel is smooth . Grips great on rock .
I've been running Falken Wildpeaks AT3W here in Panama over rocks, sand, gravel, and pothole strewn roads, and they are awesome. I was going to go with KO2's, but they were twice the price.
Great vid! I went with 33" Load C Toyo RT Trails on my GX. After 7k miles and a winter, they're awesome. They're quite light compared to a lot of other tires in the same size. Deep snow is awesome, compacted snow isn't fantastic, but good enough for my vehicle and experience. Off-road and dry is amazing.
Love your videos! I’d be interesting in seeing a KO3 vs Duratrac RT video.
My biggest problem with BFG is the tires aren’t true to size. Saying its a 35 and actually being closer to a 33 is just lying to your customers.
Is that true? I think my actual 35’s are 35’s and 37’s etc. They are a smidg smaller but not 2 inches. Fractions of an inch. Some of the raptor bunch running around on 315/70 17’s who call them 35’s are the ones misleading.
great info, I am impatiently awaiting KO3 to be made available to more than just 2 OEM sizes, do you know when they are actually making them in more sizes? can;t wait.
Discount tire is showing the 275/70x17 KO3 available in May in my area, eastern Idaho. These are what I’m waiting for for my 4Runner
I have KO2s on my 4Runner right now. I'm doing a cross country road trip in July and I'll need new tires by then. I hope the KO3 is out by then, if not I'll just get another pair of KO2s. BFG probably doesn't care, since they are getting my money either way. haha.
Same tire on same vehicle also. Was waiting for the Ko3 but the Falken At4W is looking good and the reviews on the Falken at3W are awesome. I'm even thinking on using a 245/75/17. Same size tire in diameter but an inch skinnier.
@@tjtuck4520 I’m a sucker for the white lettering, so unfortunately I won’t be considering other options. If I wasn’t, I’d be looking at the AT4W for sure. Weight would be my only concern.
Looking at installing eithe the KO3 or AT4W. I've read that the KO3 picks up a ton of gravel. Does the wider spacing on the AT4W do a better job?
Is the AT4W noticably louder than the KO3 or pitchy?
Any recomendations for a fullsize F150 or Tundra?
Thanks!
I'm waiting for my new micky Thompson baha at's switching from years of bfg's seen more than enough good reviews on the micky T's you have great informative vids thanks
I'll be the oddball im running kenda klever rt and love them.
You ever look at the cooper rugged trek I have them on my Silverado they are pretty decent
Price/Performance the Toyo AT3s are the best for a daily driver that likes to have fun on the weekends.
