πŸ’‘ Is the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 255/70R16 a Good Tire?

The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 255/70R16 is an all-season mud-terrain tire designed for pickup trucks and SUVs.

Rated Good by TireRack based on 127 consumer surveys, it excels in extreme off-road conditions but is not ideal for daily highway commuting due to noise and handling limitations.

About This Tire

The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 255/70R16 is a mud-terrain tire, designed for Jeep, pickup truck, and SUV drivers who prioritize maximum off-road traction and obstacle-conquering capability in challenging terrain. Its Krawl-Tek compound and Terrain-Attack tread design focus on enhancing grip on rock and slick surfaces while maintaining acceptable on-road comfort levels.

The tire features large, directionally-oriented tread blocks that provide stable footing in loose or rocky conditions, with biting edges positioned for traction regardless of approach angle. The Traction-Armor sidewall sculpture adds protection against off-road hazards, while the symmetric tread pattern balances aggressive off-road performance with street usability. Driver evaluations highlight strong wet weather performance and good overall comfort for a mud-terrain tire.

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 dedicated off-road vehicles and trucks used primarily for trail riding, rock crawling, and extreme terrain navigation where traction takes priority over highway comfort.
