The Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 is BFGoodrich's Off-Road Maximum Traction tire, a category often referred to as mud tires, designed for the drivers of Jeeps, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs and dedicated off-road vehicles who want a tire that incorporates a long heritage of championship-winning technology in a street tire. Designed to overcome any obstacle that may get in the way and developed with toughness and traction at the forefront, the Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 also focuses on providing acceptable levels of on-road noise and comfort.

The Krawl-Tek Compound of the Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 is designed to enhance grip on rock and slick surfaces and is molded into the symmetric, Terrain-Attack tread design. The large tread blocks provide a stable foundation in loose or rocky conditions and are oriented to provide biting edges in all directions for traction regardless of the angle of approach. The design of the Traction-Armor Sidewall Sculpture protects the tire off-road by helping prevent hazards from snagging and splitting the sidewall, while the notched shoulder design improves traction in dirt and mud. Stone bumpers in the tread grooves eject small rocks to prevent damage from drilling, and the mud-phobic bars in the shoulders help the tire self-clean to maintain traction in mud or soft soil. Wide grooves and lateral notches aid in hydroplaning resistance, and the independent tread blocks create biting edges for traction in wet or snowy conditions.

The construction of the Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 is focused on toughness and durability, inside and out. Thick sidewall rubber and extended shoulder rubber provide resistance to splits, punctures and bruising, and the internal construction features a robust, three-ply polyester casing to further enhance puncture resistance. A single, nylon cap ply provides reinforcement, and two high-strength steel belts stabilize the tread.

While Off-Road Maximum Traction tires are branded with the M+S symbol and able to churn through deep snow, their typical oversize applications and the absence of snow-biting sipes in their large smooth lugs can challenge their on-road wintertime traction on packed snow and icy surfaces.

All-Terrain Tires Off-Road – 2025 Test 9(17:52)

In a Tire Rack first, we took popular On-Road, Off-Road, and Rugged All-Terrain, as well as Off-Road Max Traction tires, to an off-road driving park to see how these categories compare off the beaten path! As we continue to expand our testing program, we are working towards a full-scale off-road portion that aligns with the objective and subjective format of our road-focused testing. In the meantime, there’s no time like the present to kick up some dust and get a feel for these tires in an off-road environment. So, join us as TJ and Brent take a subjective ride in the sand, across river rock, and attempt a hill climb!

These were great wet traction tires on my Tacoma so I bought a set for my wife’s 4runner. I just rushed my wife to deliver our baby last night and had the utmost confidence blasting down the highway in moderate heavy rain going 85 on 101 at night. I could have went faster but I didn’t want to get pulled over as she was about to pop. She relayed her contraction timing to me and it was 1 minute apart by the time we got to the hospital. I was pushing it on acceleration and turns. Made it to the delivery room and the baby was delivered within 5 mins of arriving to the hospital. I would have had to deliver this baby myself on the side of the road if I took my truck with the current ko2 tires.

I am really impressed with this tire’s sidewall strength and armoring. They are comfortable and don’t feel like all-terrain tires on the highway.

In the snow And in cold, wet weather, it is almost a perfect tire for my 5000 pound fancy land cruiser. I live on a very challenging and curvy asphalt road and the dry traction and handling are not bad at all for all-terrain design.

...Treadwear is probably still at 25-30%. I expect to get over 40k miles...

I purchased these tires right before a 4 month cross country road trip with our 7k pound travel trailer. We mostly dispersed camped in national Forest and BLM land. I've used these tires in just about every situation, highway driving, OHV trails in the Sierra mountains, snow covered roads, Rocky trails in the desert, sandy dry lake beds and beach driving. These tires exceed all expectations for an all terrain tire. The only time I was ever stuck was in deep sand pulling the trailer, and after airing down I was able to drive out under my own power.

I have 32k miles on these tires now, about 18k of which are pulling a 7k pound trailer. Treadwear is probably still at 25-30%. I expect to get over 40k miles. I've had no flats or failures, even when running ~13 psi with a 7k pound trailer on the back.

Needless to say I would buy these again and recommend them to everyone. They are also on most of our work trucks so I have even more time using them with similar results. Our Subaru is getting the AT trails when it needs tires, hopefully they're just a good
