Pros
- Rowing!
Cons
- handling deteriorated. Driving at speeds above 130 km/h is not particularly comfortable.

Description of BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 245/65 R17 116Q summer
BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 Summer tire BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 is designed for SUVs. Differs in the increased productivity on soil coverings with the lowered bearing capacity. Thanks to modern technologies and materials, it has excellent efficiency for its class on hard ground and asphalt roads. The tread pattern is adapted for off-road operation. The shoulder blocks are massive in size, which increases traction on soft ground surfaces, especially when the tire pressure is reduced. Drainage grooves contain special grooves, which allows the tread to effectively self-clean from soil particles. The running tread is made from 4th generation Krawl-TEK rubber compound. Its feature is a combination of elasticity and tensile strength and tensile strength. When driving over irregularities, the tread takes their shape, and the increased length of the edges of the blocks provides reliable traction with them. The thickness of the sidewalls has been increased compared to the previous model by almost a third. Together with the mechanical strength of the rubber compound and the optimized design of the shoulder areas, this minimizes the risk of damage on off-road. The main features of the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 - tread pattern adapted for use on low-bearing soil surfaces; - special dividers at the bottom of the drainage grooves provide the tread with self-cleaning efficiency from soil particles; - Krawl-TEK rubber compound improves tire performance on hard ground , increases reliability and resistance to wear; - increased thickness of the sidewalls, optimized design of the shoulder areas reduces the risk of mechanical damage. Designed to work In the mud 5% improved flotation* 1. Massive shoulder blocks increase traction on soft ground, especially when riding at reduced pressure ****.2. The modified tread pattern provides excellent flotation in severe off-road conditions.3. Dividers between the blocks allow you to effectively remove soil from the drainage channels to improve adhesion. Designed for hard surface 8% improved traction on asphalt AND rocky surfaces** 1. The flexibility of the tread elements allows you to take the form of hard bumps, especially when driving at reduced pressure ****.2. Massive tread blocks provide effective grip and prevent slippage in rocky areas.3. The Krawl-TEK***** rubber compound has improved traction on hard surfaces. Designed to be the strongest*** 27% stronger sidewall*** 1. Increased sidewall thickness for greater strength and damage resistance.2. Massive shoulder blocks resist damage to the most vulnerable areas of the sidewall.3. The unique shoulder block design reduces the chance of pinching resulting in a sidewall tear. The special design of the tire allows you to move at very low pressure

Pros
- durable
Cons
- heavy
Pros
- Exceptional holding power on all slick and muddy terrain. Even while driving with rear-wheel drive, you may perform a rapid start on gravel without the car slipping; it simply goes and that's it. This is an indication of the problem. It does not feel at all like you are riding on square wheels, which are featured on the Yokohama G001 when traveling at "cork" speeds. The rubber is very soft, and contrary to my expectations for a long journey, it needs to be pumped noticeably more, and not less than some kind of "civilian" rubber. If this is not done, there will be an increase of + 15% in the consumption, and there will be almost no rolling, in addition to the possibility of a feeling of "breaking" the front wheels when making a tight turn.
Cons
- I was not anticipating the level of noise produced by the tires. When traveling between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour, the noise can be heard most clearly. It seems to make even more noise than the M/T equivalents, however I cannot compare it to the Silverstone MT 117. It seems to me that this is only a summer version (unlike g001, which can even accomplish something in the winter), but as a summer version, it is possibly superior to the other versions that are available.
Pros
- The first MT class rubber and such low noise of all that I have tried
Cons
- Rubber class is closer to AT, in heavy mud it rides worse than KM2, but it is much quieter and more comfortable
