I have them. I think they are pretty good. They definitely have a hum to them. Wet traction is great. I've only had them in snow once and they were ok - not bad, but not great - I had aired down to 9 or 10 PSI, but conditions were a bit icy, so not the best test.

The tread is honestly really aggressive. It's one step away from being an MT. With all of the siping, they make a good compromise tire.

My brother has them on his F150 and loves them. Have a friend that owns a Jeep shop and sells the heck out of them. Really good reviews from what I've personally heard.

How is the fit? Haven’t seen anyone else with the 255/85s yet. Congratulations!

Due to the -28 offset I'm currently running, I had to do quite a bit of trimming - I took a full inch out of top and rear of the front fenders. Enough that I can just fit a regular 35x12.50 tire now. I was hoping to not have to trim with these basically being a 35x10.50, but that didn't end up being the case. Maybe if I was closer to 0 or -10 offset, I might have not needed much trimming.

That said, I do still like the 10.50 versus the 12.50. Especially in the rain. I find the 10.50 cuts through standing water better and is less likely to jerk the steering.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve been considering running them with TRD wheels as well. Looks like if you didn’t have spidertrax, you’d get away with less cutting? Did you have to hammer the pinchwelds? Move the rear axle back?

Yeah, If I ditched the spacers I would not have had to trim the front outer fender. I still would have needed to hammer the pinch weld though. I did not move the rear axle - still on stock 4 link arms.

Got about 3k on a new set of these, just went through a month of heavy rains here and I am really impressed with them in the rain. They are quieter than the OEM nitro's, balanced way better with just the initial install. There is a lot of tread depth and a ton of sipes. We'll see as the miles rack up.

Ordered five 285/70/17’s yesterday. Being delivered tomorrow.

Finally no more BFGoodrich KM3’s!

Next up is a rear bumper/spare carrier.

I have them in a 295/70/17 and they've been a really good tire so far. I was looking for a more aggressive all-terrain but still really good in the snow. They've been exactly that for me. I've done a decent amount of miles on them in Moab and on the trails here in Colorado, I've never had any complaints with traction nor have I noticed any bad excessive wear on the tires (chunking, cupping, etc). Wear has been pretty even all around which also keeps them pretty quiet on-road. Solid snow tire as well. They are on the heavier side for a tire compared to others out there but it hasn't bothered me. Balancing seems to be a hit or miss depending on the tire. I have some that barely take any weight and I have a few that take a lot of weight but once they are balanced, they have been smooth. You can't even tell I have 15k miles on them with how much tread is left so I expect these to last me at least another 20k miles.

They should last you 50k miles easy. My KM3’s are at 50k and easily have another 10-15k on them.

They are beat from rocks and have sidewall cuts that make me nervous on the highway as well as multiple plugs and patches in them.
