There is no factory siping on those km3s. Those are just smaller grooves. Tire sipes don't remove material they are just slits in the tread block. Think of a snow tire. You can get tour tires siped and it does help notciably in wet or icy weather.
I love the look and performance of both these tires for true rock or mud applications. But as I get older I have gotten to love things that are more practical and work better. My go to tire now is the Michelin Defender LTX. It does better in snow than both of the mentioned tires. Does better in ice than both the mentioned tires. And gets me through 99% of what am overland we would go through without a hickup. But for true rock crawler or mudder the BFG tires mentioned are definitely better.
I hear ya! I have the Mich Defenders on my LX570, and great 75k warranty. Usually they are done at 45k, withba heavy SUV, but I get 40% off a new set, warranties by Michelin.
I use car covers. I wash them max 2 times a year. Check out the video I just put out on my channel about the car covers. they are 130 shipped and the best. Had then 2 years+ now.
Great vid and I'm closer to deciding for my next tires. I live in Hawaii in an area where there is not much rain. I have had K02's which lasted 7+ years and almost 50k miles (unreal). I want a more aggressive look , I do little off roading so do I go with KM3s that look better or K02's that provide better ride and longevity (and are cheaper)? Kinda a no brainer but would like to hear thoughts??
Well, you’re supposed to change your tires every 5 years, so if you only put on 7,000 miles a year on your ko2’s then the km3s will last you all 5 years 🤙🏽 (I’m Also from Hawaii haha)
So which tire did you end up getting? Have always good luck with Mickey Thompson’s on my taco. Upgraded to a F150. Wanted to go KM3 but concerned about wet roads. Truck not my daily and do light off-roading bc we dirt bike for our off road adrenaline rush. Also from Hawaii! Yessah!
Stupid comment that peoolw do nit evee use pizza cutter barriqer tires to go offriading. Lots of overlanders in austtalia run 245 to 255 wide pizza cutter size tires.
Lmao he literally opened the door while driving to show us how loud the tires are

@@CruisingTheLand nice! Agreed! And great content on your channel! Continuing to enjoy your videos.
Are you sure they are better than the KO2s? They have a snow tire rating.
@@MrWhoevr look into the 3 peak rating. It's pretty weak. It just tests acceleration.
Just found your channel and love all your builds. I can’t find any videos of you going off road though? Links? Thanks!
Here is a 80 I had... doing moderate crawling:

I have another channel too... Look up FJ40 modificado off road, its thd Green Machine on 40s doing tougher stuff...
@@CruisingTheLand excellent thank you I’ll definitely check that out and subscribe. Keep the vids coming I’m learning a lot.
Good stuff!
Hi men how about the full consumption?
I like to know how many inch lift set up in your land cruiser and what others mods that you have done to fit those tires.
you need a 2.5" lift or more for 35" tires.
All your trucks look clean! What do you do? Do you take them somewhere or wash em yourself?
I use car covers. I wash them max 2 times a year. Check out the video I just put out on my channel about the car covers. they are 130 shipped and the best. Had then 2 years+ now.
Will do, thanks! That's pretty convenient. When you do wash them, do you do it by hand?
@@muchless Yes, by hand. Too big for the car wash!
Ha! Nice.
Yeah buddy.....

Compared between the km2 and 3 which one has the harder durometer?
Looks like coto
I've heard nothing but bad things about the K02s offroad? Maybe just a coincidence
Nah. Quite possibly the best all terrains off-road.
