Plus I've heard that they don't have the best life compared to other MT's and the guy helping me confirmed that his 40" Toyo MT's wear out crazy fast. General Grabber X3 Off-Road Maximum Traction (155) Reviews (133) Consumer Recommended. I was going to go with the Toyo MT but they said those tires are a bit hard to come by and can take a while to get in. General Tire Credit Card Goodyear Credit Card Research & Advice. I've heard good things about the new KM3 and that they have made some good improvements over the KM2 especially with reducing the road noise quite a bit. They were about the same price as KM3's but I figured I would try something different. I almost went with Nitto Trail Grapplers as I've had a set in 35s on my 1500 Ram and loved them. Plus I'm only having to pay an additional $160 for the KM3's when normally it would be an additional $400 or so over these coopers. I've been hearing that coopers are a hit or miss as far as having issues with them so I didnt feel like taking that chance again. Multi-Mile Trail Guide HLT All Season 265/65R17 112S Light Truck Tire. I went to Discount this afternoon and had them order me up some BFG KM3's. I'm sure I will see more sidewall flex and bounce again, but I think it will be worth the compromise. I like to try to keep the tires under the truck. With that said, when these wear out, I will be changing wheel size again and going to the STT Pro 37X13.50R18LT and an 18" wheel with a +25 offset. I really like them, except I want to get more sidewall. The tires required minimal weights for a perfect balance and they are smooth as glass on the highway. I did buy some aluminum hub centric rings for the 20" wheels to make sure everything matched perfectly. If the front of the truck didn't have a slope, the front wheels would be pretty much underneath the body as well. My front tires extend out about 1/2 inch on each side. I eventually ended up going with a second set of STT Pros, but on a 20" wheel, as I wanted to cut down on the sidewall flex and bounce. When AEV recalled the wheels, I went back to my factory wheels/tires temporarily, since I had them already. It wasn't so bad though that I would have changed tires had there not been a recall on the wheels. It was pretty noticeable after they broke in around 8k-10k miles. The only issue I did have with them was quite a bit of sidewall flex and bounce on the road. I never had an issue with balance on them. I purchased the tires from Discount Tire. The first set was 37X13.50R17LT on 17" AEV Katlas. I'm on my second set of STT Pro 37" tires.
