I am very hard on my KM3's and these puppies hold-up. They have really taken a beating in Baja and the desert here in the Vegas area and have not let me down once. I'm running 35's right now and will replace them with 37's when tire replacement is due.

Might be late but the RTs have way better tread life is what I’ve found. But either way you can’t go wrong. Both awesome tires

Had the RT's. They are great in the mud and dirt but not so good in the snow.

I’m intrigued by the Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 hybrid tire...load range D. Is anyone running these? If so...can you share any comments on them...either good or bad?
Love mine, have about 13k miles on them, wearing well. Only a pound heavier than the KO2 and better tread depth, a lot less rocks flying. Web pics don't do them justice, good aggressive look for an AT, really closer to an RT.
Size actual diameter weight load range tread depth
BFg KO2 315 70 17 34.4 64 C 15/32
Baja ATZP3 315 70 17 34.6 65 D 18.5/32

@Tlox your truck looks so awesome man... I have been really considering the KM3's and am a little afraid to go 37's so was going to run the 325/60.

What are your wheel specs? And any issues?
I have the Method 605 NVs 20x10 and pretty sure with the super aggressive offset of the 20x10s, 37s KM3's will beat up some stuff...

Here is my current set up with 35x12.5 Nitto RGs

Thanks man! You have got yourself a badass rig as well!
I’m running 17” Method 305’s with 0 offset. I have Eibach’s up front and had to do very minor trimming on the inner fender liner to get rid of the rubbing at full lock.

At this point I’m 90% on road and love the look and ride of the 37” KM3. I’ll eventually be looking into fiberglass fenders because I’m pretty sure my stock fenders wouldn’t last a day with any serious off-roading though.

TY man, ya I would be in the same boat as you if I went 37s but I would need to swap out the wheels.
Thanks for the reply man!

I went from 37x12.50r20 Ridge grapplers with Rotiforms to 37x12.50r17 KM3s with Method NV. Love the look. The KM3s are a bit louder on pavement but offroad they are great. After both I prefer the 17s.
I just picked up an SDHQ tire carrier so now I need 2 more wheels and tires. ‍

Other than the Eibach springs up front, any other suspension mods to fit those? Rear is stock?
