Agree with you on that.

Has anyone ever run a 35”x11”x15” BFG KM3 on a Stock 40 wheel? My buddy mounted one and it fit. Sounds questionable to me.
Update: I started shopping around for tires and noticed that the kanati 35x10.5x15 are back in stock. I was planning on running Kenda Klever 33x9.50x15 but I currently have a 4inch left with 3inch shackles and want to feel in the gap between the top of the tire and the wheel well. @mattressking how does it do on pavement? Don’t plan on really doing any off-road so it will be mostly on pavement.
I chatted with Nathan about his opinion on these tires just a couple days ago, he loves them. Said he has almost 12k miles on them now. I have about 1k miles on mine - 990 on the highway, and I love them. They are quiet for an MT, but most tires are quiet when they are brand new. I was also very impressed with them offroad in the little bit of trail driving I did.

@EWheeler is right, I do about 65-70 miles round trip everyday. Road manners are great, no vibration and tracks well for grooved roads as well. They are softer but they work great for a light truck like the 40, just make sure your toe is set correctly - it’ll wear quick if not. I made that mistake and didn’t check mine assuming the factory measurement was sufficient. With windows up, I barely hear the tires over the wind noise….I can comfortably listen to music on my little 4x6” speaker on the passenger side.
Thanks guys! Great looking rigs. Also Nat I like what you did with the speaker setup! I plan on doing the same.

Just a 4x6 in the factory speaker bracket and the $30 Bluetooth unit for the dash.

This is the kit right here, so sick.
So I called a mavis auto tire shop a few miles from me and they are selling them for $159 and will be at the store tomorrow. I’m going to buy one for know and get the others shortly. They only had two of them in stock but I can get the others online for $205. That’s a hell of a deal for what you are getting.
Now not know. Lol
For those of you running 255/85/16 BFG km3’s, how do they handle on the pavement and in the rain? I had the 255/85/16 BFG km2’s some years back and really liked them. Was thinking about getting the Km3’s
in the same size and was wondering how they compared to one another.

The dream tire size; the ultimate pizza cutter. These look so good on 60-series. I wish Dunlop would bring these over to the states.

We can't get those Dunlops? Too bad, they look old skool with that sidewall. Wonder what the specs are....
I hope you should be able to get the General S.A.G. (Super All Grip): old school look guaranteed from a US manufacturer!
Same size like these Dunlops TG21: 7.50R16!

I wish they made more 235/85 16 inch tires, there's not many options in that size. I run 265/75 16
