I would like to try KO3 but I think I’ll stick with my Toyo AT3 as the wet and dry handling on pavement is exceptional.
Prices will always vary depending on oil prices.
Wish they would release a 37-11.50-17 like the nitto recon grappler
dude. SAME.
I just want to know about ko3 vs the at4w in deep snow wheeling 😂
Me to
All I can say is, from a long term at3w user (10x sets) the at4w is good to go in the snow. Better in deeper and slushier snow. A little less grippy on super slick dusty snow. But overall, it feels more confident, especially off road in snow
Agreed
@@OscyJack-the at4w is WAY too heavy. A 37 ko3 is only 66lbs.
@@kevinr.9896 if you have a V6 with 2.62s, sure.
I would love to get my hands on the new kl3 I've been running ko2s for about 3 years now I'm glad they came out with a new title I'm ready for something new
KO2 is terrible and very dangerous in rain/wet road I hope the KO3 improve on that
If you compare the weight of the 285/70-17 load range c, the ko3 is 6 pounds heavier than the ko2, so what's going on there?
I've had BFG All terrain T/As before the k02. They were really good. Had 3 sets. Went to a general grabber a/t. Wasn't impressed with the handling. I'm definitely looking forward to trying the k03. It looks like it has more sipping and sharper tread blocks. Good for snow and slush. My plan is to put a rough country 2 1/2 inch leveling kit with upper control arms and new rear shocks on and getting the BFG in a 275-65 on an 18 inch rim for my 2016 GMC Sierra.
Disclaimer: I have ran BFGs for years on everything from lifted diesels to FJ40s without any problems, so when I lifted my 4Runner it was pretty much a no-brainer to go with a brand I trust. Been running the KO3s in 285/70/17 on my ‘23 TRD Pro 4Runner for a couple of months now and love them. They’re a big improvement over the stock Terra Grapplers. Highly recommended.
Hope they wear better
Yes, the stock tires are lousy on these trucks. How are the on road driving manners? Floaty or no?
@@D0praise stock tires are lousy on 95% of trucks
@@D0praise The KO3 are great on the road. They’re a big improvement over KO2 in the wet.
@wyomarine6341 they’re both great tires, but I have to give the nod to the KO3s. The only thing is they aren’t released in all sizes yet.
Had a set of KO2’s. Rated for 80,000kms (same as KO3) realistically lasted only 60,000 before it was worn past the siping cuts, thus making them absolutely suck in snow.
Went with Dynapro AT2, siping cuts go all the way to the end of the tread… so actually got a bit more than the rated 100,000kms out of them.
Currently have AT2 “10 plys” on both my Tacoma and af-150. I’ll need to hear from my tire shop who sells both how the much more expensive KO3 holds up.
Should note, I loved everything about the KO2 except the durability.
Where the hell is the 35x12.5R17 the golden standard? 2026?
For one, the CO2 is released more than 10 years ago. I had them back in 2008. Also, please don’t use. Thank you Jesus for a set of tires save that for real miracles thank you very much for understanding.
So could we possibly get more C load ratings over time as opposed to only E and F load? Back then I had a set of the original KO on my Tacoma in D load and it was perfect . Now E load KO2 feels teeth chattering lol
Just got a set. LT265/70/17, Hope they turn out the way most people tall about the KO2.
315/70 for the win
I am getting a set for sure. Ideally in a 35x12.5R18 or as close to it as I can get (D or E range if they offer it). I just wish I didn't need to wait until August. Also my guess is given the backlog of demand a KO3 in that size will run in the high 400s or more at launch.
Guys, I just did a tire rotation with these tires, I went, from front to back. back, to cross front? These are non directional ya
That's typically how they rotate rhem at tire shops, so you should be good.
im still running my KM1 Mud tires 32"x15.
Did you test the new Yokohama Geolandar At4 G018 ?
I recently purchased the Wildpeak AT4 in size 275 70 17 load C for my tacoma. I might try the KO3 next 💪🏻
Wondering what MPG after going with 275/70r17.?
@@hellome219 15mpg combined, up to 18mpg if I only do highway...my tacoma also has the bilstein 5100 shock level kit.
I’m going to be needing a set in 39x13.50r17 by the end of the year. Please and thank you.
I’ve had my 20’s for 5 months already. Putting them on finally this weekend!
gimme a 15 inch version for my z31
Compare the Goodyear Duratrac RT first
I bought a set of KO3’s back in February, 275/65R20 for my lifted 20’ expedition-great tire! They are heavy, but the handling is great-much improved. We live in northern Utah and they have excelled in all conditions. Super quiet. Hope y’all can get your hands on them soon! Id post a pic if I could.
Yeah everyone mentions how K03's are lighter and that's not true for every size. I have the same size 275/65R20 K02's and they show online as 5lbs lighter than K03's.
Went from 20" tires and rims to 17" after market rims and KO3's on my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 4x4. More rubber/less rim, taste great/less filling.
Wait until the Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 (G018) comes out, that'll be the king!
KO 2 have tread that looks like packing peanuts
Never heard it described as that before
I’ll be staying with nitto for my off-road tiers
Do you guys have any thoughts on the Maxxis Razr AT?
I’ve been wondering the same. They are $730/set of 285/70r17 for a c load on several sites
@@Bananahammock88 I know the hometown Aussies rave about them in the Outback. Im down for the lightweight of the 265s
So the KO3 won’t come in 15” sizes. Just my luck
They are shows a few sizes on discount tire in a 15 and just says coming soon
I purchased my set for my Rubicon and I've noticed that my rear wheels no longer slip when accelerating from a stop in wet conditions. That boosts my confidence that my vehicle will stay on the road in rainy, something my KO2 struggled to deliver.
Ko2 57.5lbs is load E and Ko3 56.5lbs is load C. So not direct comparable, i would say Ko3 is probably heavier in the same load range.
I'm getting mine in 275 70 17! About a 32" on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma can't wait to try them out!
looking for KO3 265\65\R17 when we can expect for this size ?
Honestly im just surprised that Falken didnt milk the AT3W longer. Great tire. AT4w is too heavy for me now
No word on the release of the 35 x12.5r20s..? I guess I need to stop waiting, Toyo AT3 or Wildpeaks??
Please review Nokian Outpost nAT, seems like its a great alternative to a ko3? would love to get your opinion on it maybe against a ko3. Thanks for the reviews, they help a lot!
I’m sold. Got K02s that have 50k miles on them. Hopefully can get the K03s before next winter.
Yeah but the ko2 looks better, which we all know is most important.
JUST bought these today. Last set had 60k miles on them but still had probs 1/3 tread left. In-person, side by side…. The new ones are significantly better in every way. I was super skeptical at first but trusted my gut. Couldn’t be happier so far. Fixin to head out on week long trip in west Texas next week w trails and lots of highway. Super confident they’ll do great.
Let us know your experience after you hit the trails!
Getting them put on my 1958 LC Monday. Really liked the KO2 and confident these will be better 🤙
1,350 miles on highway, mountain passes, gravel/rutted and washed out roads all while towing an overland trailer. Hit a little rain in the desert too. Tires did excellent! Really glad I got em in E rating as well. My buddy had a new set of more aggressive MT Goodyears and they kicked up rocks like crazy on the caliche. Didn’t have that prob w mine. Very happy w the tires.
Not better, that price increase pushed me away. Riding on Falkens now, BFG missed the mark on this one.
A C liad KO three🎉 please BFG don’t be a fool release 17” x 37” x 11.5”
FAKENEWS🎯🎯🎯
How bout 235 85 16 load E pizza cutters?
Would anyone happen to know the tread depth? Is it the same, or did they add a few 32’s?
Finally made a 40” K03 but made it for an 18” wheel lol wtf
Wait wait wait. This video makes it look like the raised white lettering is a thing on ko3. Is that legit?
1:20 they're specing them on some heavy rigs!!!!
Just buy General Grabbers lol
Yokohama geolandar mt are the best!!!
Does the KO3 have raised white letter option?
Alas - Only On The "E" Rated - I Wanted The "C" But It Comes Only In Black. So, I Had To Purchase The E To Get White Letters
una
The real wolf in sheeps clothing is the Pirelli AT+
Outperforms both KO2 and AT3W, with a great size offerings. Quieter, smoother, better winter traction while missing nothing in the dirt.
Worth a serious look 😉
The tread design looks strange, like dominoes. Maybe looks aren't everything but they are something.
@@mr.CooksBigly to be honest, once on the vehicle they look VERY similar to the Wildpeak AT3W.
Bought a set in 315/70R17 for my own truck. Have bought some 20" 33's for my work trucks, and buddies have bought them for their lifted SUVs. They are the best bang for the buck - full stop. 👏
