BF Goodrich KM3 in a field test in rough Lapland

Anyone who takes off-road seriously knows that tires are not an accessory, but the basis. The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 is aimed at drivers who use their vehicle where surface, traction and durability are crucial - on journeys, expeditions and in difficult terrain.

Mud-Terrain with a focus on traction and control

The KM3 is positioned as a classic MT tire, but relies on an advanced construction. The TERRAIN ATTACK tread design with massive, trapezoidal tread blocks ensures reliable grip on gravel, rock, mud and loose ground. The open block structure supports self-cleaning - a decisive factor on changing surfaces on long tours.

The deep tread pattern in the sidewall is particularly relevant for off-road use. It provides additional lateral guidance in the event of twisting and improves traction at unfavorable approach angles - situations that are the rule rather than the exception off-road.

KRAWL-TEK rubber compound and reinforced carcass

The KRAWL-TEK rubber compound is designed for durability and grip on hard surfaces. It offers sufficient grip on rock and stone without being excessively soft. The tread is complemented by a reinforced carcass structure that keeps the tire stable and protects it from damage caused by sharp edges.

This combination is particularly relevant for expeditions and longer off-road trips where repairs or tire changes are not always possible.

Travel suitability despite MT character

Despite its clear mud-terrain orientation, the KM3 is comparatively calm and easy to control on asphalt. Long connecting stages are possible without the tire becoming a burden due to strong rolling noise or unstable handling.

The BFGoodrich KM3 is not an all-round tire and does not want to be. It is a clearly positioned mud-terrain tire for drivers who regularly use their vehicle off-road and are dependent on traction, structure and reliability.

BFGoodrich. Built to grip. When it matters.

Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich founded North America's first tire factory in Akron, Ohio, in 1870. His son Charles Cross Goodrich established one of the first tire research centers in the USA, setting new standards in the development of high-performance tires.

As early as 1903, BFGoodrich impressively demonstrated its technical expertise when the first automobile on the brand's tires crossed the North American continent from east to west - a milestone in the history of mobility.

To this day, BFGoodrich stands for performance-oriented tire development under real-life extreme conditions. Whether in off-road races in the Baja desert or in the high-performance environment of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the knowledge gained there is consistently incorporated into the series products.

The result is tires that are not developed for laboratory conditions, but for use where material, construction and traction are actually required - regardless of how and where they are driven.
