πŸ’‘ Is the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 265/70R16 a Good Tire?

The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 265/70R16 is an all-season maximum traction tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers aggressive off-road grip in mud, rock, and loose terrain through its Krawl-TEK compound and deep sidewall lugs, while maintaining adequate highway manners. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise at highway speeds, typical of aggressive mud-terrain designs. Tread life is moderate for its category given the soft compound prioritizes traction over longevity. Rated Good by TireRack based on 127 consumer surveys, it excels in serious off-road conditions but sacrifices on-road refinement and fuel economy compared to all-terrain alternatives. Currently priced from $311.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 265/70R16 is an off-road maximum traction tire, designed for Jeep, pickup truck, and SUV drivers who prioritize extreme off-road capability and durability in challenging terrain. Its Krawl-Tek compound and Terrain-Attack tread design focus on maximizing grip on rock and slick surfaces while providing acceptable on-road comfort and noise levels.

The tire features large, directionally-oriented tread blocks that create a stable foundation in loose or rocky conditions, with biting edges positioned to provide traction regardless of approach angle. The Traction-Armor sidewall sculpture adds protection against off-road hazards, while the symmetric tread pattern balances traction with street manners. Driver feedback indicates excellent wet weather performance and good dry traction, with comfort levels that make daily driving manageable despite the aggressive off-road focus.

Compared to all-terrain options, it prioritizes maximum traction in loose and muddy terrain over on-road refinement. Overall, it's a solid choice for trucks and SUVs used primarily for serious off-road adventures, rock crawling, and muddy trail conditions where traction takes priority over highway comfort.
