315/75R16 Falken or BFG's KO2

[H3Hummer]

maaaaan, ohhh maaaan, they are all pissing me off over her in EU, it's just mission impossible to get a set of good AT's. Nowhere, just nowhere to get them in 315/75R16, and the shipping form US is just ridicules. Damn damn, I'm not asking how to get to the moon..... just a set of good AT's. You Lucky guys over in US ...... y'all have that marked in next town

Your struggles are not unique to the EU. When I bought the BFG KM3s (315-75-R16) for my H3 last year, I had to use a tire distributor friend who got the last 5 currently available in the contiguous United States at the time. I checked every tire store known to man and nobody had the size and brand/model I wanted. Everyone told me what I wanted was being phased out/discontinued, which IMO is bunk.

That being said, in the past I have beat the living daylights out of BFG KO, KO2, KM2, and KM3 tires on/offroad and have nothing bad to report other than the tread being a little soft. Now, Cooper tires on the other hand .....lol. I've torn several sidewalls offroading with them. Not a fan.

Tanks for answer man. I do like my Coopers STT Pros, the tread depth is still 10mm but they have nearly 7 years now ......hoped to find a set of Falken AT3/W or BFG's KO2.......but eaven Gabber's ATX is no way to get them here.....
I don't give up yet ....

Excellent tire on road and off. Can’t say a single bad thing about them.

Same. I have a set on my H3 Alpha and H3T Alpha. Both are doing well so far.

Thanks for reply, well, I think my choose is gonna be simple, cause getting good AT's in 315/75R16 is possible but for nearly 3000$ a set of 5.....imported from US.....

When I bought the GT Grabber X3's I had to get them shipped from the warehouse in Alabama, that was the only place they had any in stock. To my understanding a lot of these larger sized tires are done in small (comparatively) batches only so depending on supply/demand they can go out of stock quickly and then you have to wait for the manufacturer to do another run of them. The average sized and any kind of commercial/street tire is going to be a lot easier to get a hold of, though Covid threw a wrench into pretty much every supply line in existence.

Thanks for info, the problem here in EU is that, juste la little part of 4x4's are able or modified to run 315/75R16, so they never order BFG's KO2 or Grabber ATX, Falken AT3W and lot more of good tires...Most of Jeeps per exemple run 315/70R17! And in 17" rims, it's no problem to get them.
