Description of BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 265/75 R16 119Q 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
- Superb traction in any kind of mud or loose conditions. Even with rear-wheel drive, this trait is evident when making a quick start on gravel; the car doesn't slip, it just keeps going. The yokohama g001's square wheels don't make you feel like you're riding on a barrel at "cork" speeds. The rubber is very soft, and contrary to my expectations for a long trip, it needs to be pumped noticeably more, and not less than some kind of "civilian" rubber; otherwise, the consumption will increase by 15%, almost no rolling will occur, and there may be a sensation of "breaking" the front wheels in a tight turn.
Cons
- The tire noise was far higher than I had anticipated. When traveling between 60 and 80 km/h, the noise becomes audible. It seems even noisier than the M/T equivalents (though I haven't tried comparing it to the Silverstone MT 117). It seems like a strictly summer variant (unlike g001, which can even accomplish anything in winter), yet it could be superior to its counterparts in other seasons.
