BFGoodrich KM3 37x12.50R17 in both C and D Rated

[travelboysteve]

Im heading to Pomona this weekend as well. Hopefully if BFG is there, they can give us some insight into the KM3 37" supply. Good choice on the Methods. Im leaning in that direction as well with the Roost model.

Post up what you find out and I'll do the same.
I'm sure inquiring minds will want to know.

And besides, I'm gonna ask them about the "F" rated tires,...

Having run a lot of different tires over the years I'm a BFG fan and reached out to them about releasing a 37" KM3 for 17" wheels. They didn't include this size when the KM3 launched over the summer. I received the response below from them today. You will find this tire on my upcoming 2019 JLUR build!

"The Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tires will be launched in sizes 37X12.50R17/C and 37X12.50R17/D on 10/01/2018. We are currently building stock for this tire in these two sizes for the upcoming launch."

I ended up reaching back out to BFG, even giving them a part number I found on NTB website for a c rated and this time the rep said it’s not true. I agree, the first rep made a mistake telling me both would be available. No worries, I’m running the d rated at 28lbs, and with my Teraflex suspension my Jeep drives real nice. Couldn’t be happier.

Of course, you can always bump up to the 39, which comes in c rated.

Yep...the 37" km3 c load was only made in October 2018 for an export shipment.

I spoke with BFG a few days ago. They will also be releasing their KM3 in a 35x12.50 R17 in a LR D next Tuesday. Currently they are only available in LR E.

Is this still just a myth? I see a SKU for them listed (BFG-79293) and some sites show them as a product but out of stock.

FCA mopar websites show a part number tbf0079293. Has anyone had success in getting a set of these 'C' rated KM3's?

I ended up just going with the D rated version, bought them from 4 wheel parts for $378 a tire including their all inclusive tire warranty which is normally 190 for a set of 5. I wheeled my older TJ with Goodyear MTR's on it that was almost identical in weight to a buddies TJ with KM3's on it. With our air pressure the same, his D rated KM3's softened up and flexed around rocks much better than my MTR's and that is why I am switching to KM3's on the JLUR. The JLUR weighs more than my TJ so I am not too worried about the flex. Only wish they had the same bolt pattern so that I could swap back and forth.

Well I just ordered a set from https://mopar.worldoemparts.com for $355/ea. Will let everyone know how it goes.

That a decent price. Is that including delivery and taxes?

Did you confirm they were the C rated tires? That Q code of Q116 does not even show up on the BFG website anymore. The D rated ones are 124Q MSPN 39458 in case you want to double check to see what they are sending you.
