BFG KM3 New Mud Terrain

[Jimbo]

Damn that is some crazy chunking... I was checking out the tires of other Raptor owners at the Ghost Town run and saw it was common with the AT KO's. Some not as bad as others... I thought mine were bad then I saw Noah's and he has some pretty good chunks in them.

Yours though take the win! I haven't seen chunking like that since my days in the 80's at desert races like the Fireworks 250 and Mint 400.

(found these in another thread... wow makes your tires look new! - http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f25/tire-chunking-thread-33524/#post671367)

Anyway.. how about the MT KM2 (and KM3) with chunking? Are they just as bad or better? Are there any tires out there that handle chunking better than another?

LOL good old diff lock, off-road mode, and high rpm 2nd gear.


The KM2 or KM3 should be good. The less sipes, the less chunking that occurs. However you'll always get a little scuffing on the tread blocks, but not nearly as bad as the KO's did.

Hopefully they fixed the issues of the KM2 in regard to the tread separating. If so, these KM3s may just be the perfect tire; a semi-aggressive MT that doesn't weigh nearly as much as a Toyo.

What was the issue, where would it separate?

The tread would come off entirely.

...glad I'm waiting on the KM3's and didn't search harder for a set of KM2's!

What tires where on the truck you rolled?

No idea, some type of AT tire though.

Didn't they have to do with why you rolled?

No, I rolled it because I was going 75-80mph on an on-ramp (25mph recommended speed) that had black ice

Well that story has escalated... You told me you were going 15mph...
