Description: Review of the BF Goodrich
Mud-Terrain T/A (R) KM


The extremely popular BFGoodrich (R) Mud-Terrain T/A (R) KM is the tire of choice for
many offroaders who want decent off-road performance while maintaining good
street manner.  This radial MT with its semi-aggressive tread is a good choice
for all-around use including dry loose dirt, light mud, sand, and light to
moderate rock.  Another benefit of the BFG Mud Terrain T/A KM is its longevity
with a longer wear factor on the trail and on the street over most Mud Terrain
tires.  Be aware that the 3-ply sidewalls are somewhat vulnerable to sharp rocks
when compared to MTs with tread designs in the sidewall that offer additional
protection.  Sizes available up to 37x12.50R18/D.


Manufacturers description of this tire:

Pros: All-round tyre. Good choice of sizes
Cons: Not especially good on mud & wet road

Decent all-round tire. Very good on sand, wood trails, rocks. By far not the best performer in mud. Sidewalls seem to be weak and can be punctured rather easily by rocks or tree branches.
The so-called rim protector did not do very well protecting the rims. It would rather make getting mud between tire and rim easier.
Performance on wet road was not good.

Pros: Great Offroad in rocky or muddy terrain
Cons: Terrible in Ice or even Snow packed roads

I've been running BFG AT's for about the last 15 years on all my 4X4's and have always been very happy with them, but decided to try the MT's on my Land Rover since my commute to work is only 2 miles now. They are great when I go 4-wheeling in rocky or muddy trails, but snow or ice is terrible, I even got them sipped but I still slide everywhere. I thing the AT's are much better all around tire.

Pros: Price, Aggresive look, quiet,
Cons: Will probably have to get them sipped

Only paid $90 for the tires, cost $493 total for 4 tires weight, balanced and put on. I can't complain for the price and they have great road manners for such an aggresive looking tire, waiting to see how they do in the rain and on ice.

Pros: Decent tire for paved road and soft off-road, not very noisy
Cons: Horrible in mud

I am using a set of 31/10,5 R15 on a '95 Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero.
As this is called a Mud Terrain tire, you would expect they could handle mud situations easily. In fact they are clogging very fast, and self cleaning is horrible. As soon as they are clogged, you could be as well on normal street tires, they do not make any difference.
If you use them more than 80% on-road and sometimes you drive on some unpaved or dust roads they are OK. However be careful on wet or icy asphalt, they do not help you too much in such circumstances.
I will definitely NOT buy a second set, and pretty soon going to change them even they are only 25% worn out after 12.000 KM.

Pros: Very aggressive tire
Cons:

I love my BFG Mud Terrain tires. I have a 1996 Ford Ranger STX stock running 30/9.5/15 tires. I have had them for almost a year and have not gotten stuck because of the tires. They are not that noisy on the pavement. Also, they do great in dirt, sand, snow,and mud. All around great tire!

Pros: Decent price, Decent wear, Tough tire
Cons: Terrible in street-snow, soso in powder, Terrible in rain

These are west-coast, or trail only tires, basically anywhere you don't drive on wet or snowy roads. Treadlife is decent, but the lack of siping makes them extremely slippery on wet asphalt or concrete, and horrible in slushy snow. I had a set of 35x12.30-15 on my K5 Blazer, replacing a set of General Grabber AP's. Oh how I wish General still made the Grabber AP, the only thing these BFGs have over the old Grabber AP is toughness, otherwise, they are a mediocre mud tire at best. Pick any mud tire with siping, and it will be better than this one.

Pros: Good mileage on street and offroad excl. on sand looks good on my Toy. I like these tires soft side walls no need to air down on the sand .
Cons: Worn half way gets a little noisey tires tend to get rounded cleets if used mostly on sand.

I like these Mud Terrains been using BFG for over 30 years had the 1st set of muds back in the 80's great traction in the sand for 4 wheeling esp. with a V6 and a 350TH trans mated to a Currie 9 in 488 gears and a detroit locker the front a Gleason Thorson with 488 yeah a triple-D Duel Drive I know its the best gear locker made.LOL Its in the Military Hummers. BFG's the way to go

Pros: Treadlife, traction on wet/frozen ground, quiet road ride
Cons: 3 ply sidewall

I have had a set on my nissan xterra for 3 and a half years now. I have around 70,000 miles on the tires and they still have tread. I like them, they have gotten me into and out of many crazy situations, mud, snow, water(streams) wet rock crawling out of stream crossings, woodland trails, etc.


They perform very well in fresh snowif you know how to drive in snow . Road noise has become louder as the rubber has worn down but still not crazy loud.
I do not know who would write a bad review about this tire, I can only imagine they are either street warriors who never tak their truck off road and have the tires for looks or just do not know how to correctly drive off road. Either way these are the best MT tire for your daily driver on the market, mainly because the rubber lasts. Again rated at 60,000 miles, im on 70,000 and still plenty left.

Pros: Looks good
Cons: They WILL NOT STAND BEHING THEIR PRODUCT

I had a RF tire separate the tread and damage my truck really bad, And luckily didn't kill anyone when it took off for the ditch at 70 almost flipping the truck. Michelin (who owns BFG) Will not replace the tire or fix the truck. I had to replace 2 of the other 3 because they were also out of round probably separated too.


If you have these tires you might be in serious danger. remove them if you travel faster than 20.
