Review of the BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX
The BFGoodrich Krawler is a monster of a Radial tire. BFGoodrich specifically designed this tire to excel in the world of rockcrawling, while still giving the driver performance in a variety of terrains, including on paved road. The Krawler's tread design is an aggressive, strong one with massive lugs, super-strong sidewalls, and an extra shoulder lip of rubber around the bead to help protect the rim and aid the tires resistance to popping off the bead. At low pressures, the sidewall and tread flexes readily and surprisingly well for such a massive tire, enveloping obstacles as the sidewalls bulge. Tread lugs extend way down the sidewall offering protect as well as helps to increase traction when sidewall bite can make the difference on rock and in mud. Where the BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX excels best is on the rocks. When aired down to the single digits, the chunky lugs of soft compound grip big time on all types of rocks from the knarly to the slick. Sharp rocks and wood spikes offer little problem as the Krawler resists tears and punctures to an impressive degree. In the mud the Krawler isn't at its best. The tread doesn't self clean as well as some of the other mud performers on the market unless generous amounts of throttled wheelspin are applied. On the wooded trails this tire does very well, getting good bite the varying conditions. In the sand the Krawler bites strong and will dig if too much throttle is applied although flotation is good. On the street, the BFGoodrich Krawlers perform better than most aggressive tires with a somewhat smooth ride. This is in part due to their construction as a radial tire and the staggered tread design. However they will still let you know they're down there as some lug slap will be noticed. As far as their look, the Krawler has a very aggressive appearance and will definitely turn heads. Sidewall Plys: 4 Nylon. Tread Plys: 4 Nylon, 2 Steel. Load Rating: C. Available sizes: 35x13.50R15/C, 37x12.50R17/C, 37x12.50R17/C

Pros:
|
excellent longevity, no vibrations.
|
|
Cons:
|
Having to rotate them quite often
|
|
for some reason the main page for bfg m/t km links over to this page? Something is buggered..
anywho,I ran a set of 31" r16 km m/t's on my 01 Dodge 3/4ton diesel for the last 6 yrs.. (I dont put on a heck of a lot of miles). 6 yrs translates out to 50 000 miles so far.. and they still have about 30% tread. I;m going to replace them soon since they're starting to crack a bit in between the lugs (from my vehicle being parked 1 month out of 2 no doubt)
The tread lasts great up until 40k where i noticed it really starts to disappear. 50k outta a mud tire is gold in my mind (especially when i do alot of burnouts and sled pulling with them). They heaviest load i put in the box for street driving is about 500 lbs which gave uneven tread wear between front/rear which i kept in check by rotating every 6k miles or so.
My driving consists of 50% ice/snow, 40% dry/wet pavement & 10% soupy mud. I think this tire performs admirably in all those areas. Even though i found it does dig down a little too well as i tore the crap outta my neighbours all dirt and sand driveway pulling a visitor in a minivan up the grade in heavy rain when i 1st got them.
I will be purchasing another set of bfg m/t's in the near future (after i put another 5k worth of vacation miles on them), only i will be stepping up to the 35" R18 this time around. still up in the air if i will try the newer km2 tread or stick with old trusty.

It's too bad you can't find these tires in Canada anymore! I got 75000-80000Km out of the three sets of 37x12.50x17 that I had. Great in all conditions on a 1 ton diesel Dodge that saw more gravel roads & bush trails than pavement. Not the greatest on ice but honestly what tire is?

TRED WEAR!!!!!!! TRED WEAR!!!!!! price

i have the km2 on my 2003 chevy 2500HD and i love them in every use.
they stick to the road like glue and i tow a 10000 lb boat ( very important )
i drive the beach and flipping awesome in the sand you just need to know how to off road ( "air down" ) and let me say in the mud they kick ass but still have a long way to compare to my swamper's.
the little i have used them on the rock's have been good. i plow snow and have a 8 1/2 foot v plow fisher and they hook up under any amount of snow in front of the blade.
have no problem's in the rain / ice.
THE BIG PROBLEM IS MILEAGE!!!!!!!!!!!
i have the 265/75/16 load range E and got them less then a year ago and will be lucky to make the winter.
my truck is perfectly aligned and the wear is perfectly flat and i have 7839 miles on them and almost bald. called BF GOODRICH and they wont do a thing about it. for the price i should get 20000 not 7839.
so i think even as good as they hook up in all conditions the $1200.00 is not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7839 mi is bull s*! and will never buy them again!!!!

Pros:

Look kinda like less agressive BFG Krawlers. Come in lots of sizes.
|
|
Cons:
|
Horrible in the mud. They cake up and don't throw out mud at all. Worst off road and on road compared to the BFG mud-terrain KM (original)
|
|
Okay, but not great on pavement or off road (originals were way better in every way). I will not be buying these tires again. In wet mud conditions, these are the worst mud terrain I have ever used, Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's are a little better.

I have read a the reviews and think one tyre can not satisfy all I am aUK gamekeeper and use my lwb landrover everyday and have been brought up in wooded and muddy terrain this tyre has been on my 4x4 for some 44,000 miles and it does what is says on the box I am happy I hasten to add I do not put the tyre thru some of your users extreme handling what can you expect few tyres would take the jhammering use sensibly they will last

I am very impressed with these tires. They are not as loud as some say. 60% of the time I drive on highway and 40% off road. I will indeed buy more when that time comes.
