Looks much better and I bet even better without the caps!

I have the same question - road noise. I love the look but hoping the road noise is a bit better than than the stock AT tire, which honestly is fine.

Road noise way better than the AS I had .

I basically live between several locations in the mountains and used to drive in every Utah storm (700k miles on my fleet) at all hours of the day (think no plows, zero visibility) and there’s no chance that I would be running AT tires in my fleet especially if you’re just “occasionally” going up into the mountains. Those are fine for off roading but they aren’t usually siped for all around variable temperature wet traction (with exceptions of course). If you want the best all around conditions traction you want to start with a good AS tire which for my fleet were Yokohama YK580s and get them siped at Les Schwab (or whatever shop that will sipe them). This gives you optimal noise, tire wear, and range.

The trade offs are not worth it IME vs just having better driving skills/judgment and swapping to ATs for actual off roading (or not even bothering).

The CT also has glitchy rear steer that can cause you to slide your rear end very easily in the normal drive modes. It is independent of your tires and more a function of the way the vehicle fails to maintain traction when the suspension is under some variable load like in a wet corner with “full lock”, over a grate, with a bit of steepness, etc. It’s probably something Tesla needs to tune into the traction control system as I have seen it happen multiple times in dry and wet conditions. I used to see this in my Fiat 500e if I hit a variable grade while steering and I would spin my front tires on dry ground due to the stiff suspension.

Do you have photos of one of your fleet trucks? Just like seeing pics.

Ironically they don't look as aggressive on the cybertruck as they do on other trucks I've seen them on. LoL

These are my plan with probably the Martian Wheels 18" Cyber Rover beadlock wheels, they seem to be the most reasonably priced right now. We've also seen a cybertruck all over offroad with them.

Did you go with the 35"x12.5" or the 285x60/70/75 tire size?

If the K03s are like the K02s on my 2021 Raptor (gen 3) then road noise will be considerably less than the OEM Cyberwheels. My Raptor is far more quiet on the freeway than even a brand new Escalade which is both a function of the amazing suspension and of course the tires. I feel like with comfort mode on and K03s that road noise will be less.

My favorite tire! Those look great! Let us know how they are working out.

I went with the stock size … 285/65/20

was it cheaper than the 3.5k all terrain factory upgrade?

guys, Ive owned KO2s and KM3s, felt the KM3s are the successor, but now KO3s are available
please explain the KO3 vs KM3 difference

The BFG KO series is their all terrain series, best for on/off road general all weather travel with an off road leaning bias. The tread pattern is designed more for road grip.
The BFG KM series is their mud terrain series and is really an off road tire that does decent in a lot of on road conditions. It won't be as good in the rain, ice, and snow as the KO series. It has worse tire wear, more noise, and worse fuel mileage. But it cleans out mud, sand, and rocks a lot better than anything the KO series can do. The tread pattern is designed more to grab rocks and has almost a paddle design for throwing loose materials behind the tire pushing it forward.

I've been running the KO series on my Tacoma for years and just play around off road but use it full time on road.

If you go KM you are planning on a lot of off roading time and more complex terrain.

I would also expect you will get more mileage out of a non-AT tire if the vast majority of your driving is highway or on a paved surface. I am surprised at how little road noise there is with the ATs, but I would imagine it would be less with all season tires and hopefully more range and mileage. I am assuming the all season tires are less expensive that the ATs?

 

[Gaximus]

They look great, you turned a dorky looking tire setup into an amazing looking setup. I'm not sure if you have any experience with the K02s, but I've heard mixed reviews about the K03s not being as good (Might be only related to rock climbing). Any insights if so?

You need a set of steel wheel from t sport line for you off road tires. I have as but I about buy a set it at tires

 

[Guylouis]

Glad I cancelled my winter tire package order.

I think I’m going with Method 707’s and K03’s
