First Impressions & Off-Road Adventure: BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO3

Join me in my Toyota 4Runner as I test out the brand new BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO3 tires for the first time! This video features my first impressions of these tires and their performance in various off-road conditions. Don’t miss out on the thrilling off-road adventure and a detailed review of how these tires handle on my 4Runner!

That VW is so cool. @ 7:57 dude's got the right attitude

[@ScrambleNorth]

Hell ya

Great video! Finally answered the question I've had about my 4Runner TRD Pro. I've been waiting on my Westcott lift to come in for 3 weeks and it still hasn't shipped. Was waiting to get it installed before ordering those exact tires because I thought they wouldn't fit without a lift. I'm going to go ahead and get them now. You have some great 4Runner content! I subbed.

[@ScrambleNorth]

Thank you, Westcott is an awesome guy and makes a great product. There will be some rubbing on the front plastic fender liner in reverse at full turn. I believe it rubs even with the lift. He recommends pushing the liner forward.

[@nchighwayman]

@@ScrambleNorth I just noticed that you have your mud guards removed. I know that gives you more clearance. I'm wondering now if I can run them with the mud guards pre-lift? I really don't want to lose the mud guards if I can help it. I guess I may just have to have a little patience and wait for the lift....lol! Thanks for the reply!

[@snivesz32]

Have you noticed if they catch/throw stones less than the KO2s? My KO2s get little gravel stones stuck in the tread all the time.

[@ScrambleNorth]

I haven’t noticed excessive stone throwing

BF good rich makes good tires, my experience is they always seem to run short I had the BF good rich KM3 in 39 x 13 50 and they were about 38 inches pretty much every BFG I purchase always runs short but those look like good tires in the nice thing is I do think you’ll get decent grip but on road comfort going on a long trip it’s going to be awesome. Have fun out there!!!!!👍

[@ScrambleNorth]

They do tend to run smaller for sure

[@ej2054]

After more driving time
on the KO3, have you noticed any additional rub from the front tires? Did your gas mileage remain unchanged from the KO2? Thanks

[@ScrambleNorth]

Gas mileage hasn’t changed, honestly, these are damn near the same size and weight as the 275 AT3W I replaced

[@wayneanderson991]

I would be very interested to know how the balance of the tires are at highway speeds now that you have some time on the KO3's. I'm interested in this tire but a little reluctant to go with them at this point because of tire balance issue that I currently have with the KO2's. Thanks for any input you could provide.

[@ScrambleNorth]

Had them rebalanced yesterday, they’re better but not perfect. I’m try again when I feel like having a romance

[@wayneanderson991]

@@ScrambleNorth Thanks for the input. I was hoping that BFG would have solved the balancing issues of the KO2's with new KO3's.

[@Esopenko]

What load rating did you get? I just picked up some load C’s and was curious what pressure you’re running on the street.

[@ScrambleNorth]

They’re C rated, I’m running 33 on the street

[@saturnine903]

any more updates on rubbing etc? getting ready for tires and debating AT4W in 275's or KO3 in 285. Same vehicle but I have the Eibach PRO coils for a little extra lift.

[@ScrambleNorth]

I don’t have mudflaps, and the only rubbing I get is full lock in reverse, you should be fine in my opinion with the springs

[@anthonybressler4404]

Pizza party? Just like my Swedish friend. 😂😂

[@ScrambleNorth]

Ha!!

[@jamesvegas702]

how are these in the rain? i see the gaps are smaller than the k02’s

[@ScrambleNorth]

I haven’t tried them in the rain yet, but they do have channels to go all the way to the outside of the tire. I think they will do pretty well

[@TheBostonTrucker]

What's the reason for dropping the psi down?

[@TheEmptyMags]

offroad comfort, contact patch and puncture resistance.

[@ScrambleNorth]

This

[@guzm7]

Are those load C?

[@ScrambleNorth]

Sure are

[@TruckerKearsey]

I hate change. 'Im the kind of person who would stick with the same brand/model. Lol.ur funny
Whhhhoooowww

[@ScrambleNorth]

Sometimes change is good!

[@Truckin4Tacos]

You tell lies Scramble .... I just looked it up and those tires weigh 73 lbs each.

[@CeeJay591]

I just looked it up - 285/70/R17 are 57 pounds each, right on the BF Goodrich website - love this channel so hate to see someone throw some shade on it….

[@ScrambleNorth]

He’s just messing around, it’s an inside joke 😂. Damn, I thought I saw 56 pounds.

[@CeeJay591]

@@ScrambleNorth Glad to hear he wasn’t serious - too many TH-cam trolls out there to know who’s just kidding and who just wants to make trouble….keep up the great work on posting these videos, very much appreciated
