Wait they make a KM3 fitment for an 18 for our trucks? i'm on their website looking for a KM3 in a LT325/65-18 or a 35/12.5-18 and I dont see it. I see a KM2 in this fitment but not a KM3. Am i missing something here?

You’re missing something, I just looked and they are listed when you search for tires by size. And mine are 35/12.50r18.

How loud are these compared to stock or maybe like the nitto ridge grapplers?

I didn’t notice much difference at all unless I was driving with the windows down and radio down low.

thanks.
How do they ride on the street?
I feel they do better. I like the more planted ride. But I will say light snow they don’t do good in. But everything else I think they are great for a mud tire. I would buy again for sure. Got about 7000 miles on them and they look like new still. I run 38 psi in them, same as the factory tires. No issues with wear.

Just tested out the KM3's at my local mountain (Big Bear) and here is my 2 cents.

Snow on dirt = Excellent
Snow on tarmac= Good
Ice on dirt = Good
Ice on tarmac= Poor (KO2s might be better)
Sand = Excellent (Great for Baja)
Rock Crawling = Excellent (The tire feels soft and sticky, similar to the R-compound found on racing cars tires)
Mud = Excellent
Rain = Good

Tarmac = KO2s might be better
Everything else = KM3s is better

If I were driving 80% street and 20% off-road, I would keep the KO2s.
But I'm driving 60% off-road and I live in CA so KM3's are better suited for me

I have had both tires and I agree 100% with your conclusions. I will keep the KOs and my Raptor, but also keep the KMs on my rock crawler.
