Review of
the BF
Goodrich® Mud-Terrain T/A® KM
The extremely popular BFGoodrich ® Mud-Terrain T/A® 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.

This is one
of the best m/t's you can
buy!
The people that rated it
bad, the way you based
your rating on is thinking
when you were stuck. The
BFGs are the best overall.
Everybody has them, that
should tell you something!

| These are
indeed a fair choice in a
"compromise
tire", i.e. one which
sees both pavement and
off-pavement
conditions. My only
complaint about the
current BFG MT design is
the so-called "rim
protector".
While it may protect the
rim in some situations, it
tends to behave like a
"probe" which,
when it makes contact with
a rock or the side of a
rut pushes the sidewall in
away from the rim, thereby
inviting the entry of
foreign material into the
bead, which results in a
slow leak. These
tires do not perform as
well as you would expect
on pack snow or ice, but
then what tire does?
I'd say these are a good
choice for the occasional
off-roader who doesn't
usually air down. If
BFG lost the rim
protector, I'd buy another
set. Until then, I'm
tire shopping for my next
set.

| I have
33x12.50 under my samurai
and I like these tires. I
can go almost anywhere I
point my truck. I should
have gone with the new
10.50's under such a light
rig but an awesome tire for
anyone who wants
streetability and trail
traction. this is THE tire
for me. |
