Balance issues KM3'S or STT's

[mudmaster]

35" Baja Bosses on beadlocks on my TJ completely unbalanced smooth as silk. For now.

Same when I had 35s and continues now with the 40s.

Seems a lot of folks are cross shopping the two tires, not a lot of other options in a 35x12.5r15. Care to share any other differences between the two for onroad/offroad use?

Both run quiet, even with mileage over 12,000. The Coopers ran quiet till they ran low on tread at 25,000 miles.

They both perform well off-road. The KM3’s perform better on snow and ice, but neither is great.

Discount added a bunch of weights to mine. To be fair, the rims are Canyons.

You goin to love them.

Love my KM3'S. They've never let me down and are super quiet. To me they are more of a hybrid between KO2 and KM2. They really work well in both clay based mud and rock. Balanced descent and wear slower than I expected. Only down side is they are super heavy. I noticed my rig being a bit more sluggish after installing them.

What did you have before? Looking at specs the KM3s are on the light end of most MTs in the same size.

I run 35" KM3s on 15s. No balance at all and they are smooth from 0-80.

2/5 the way there

The last set I ran were Mud Kings. Probably the worst mud tire ever made. But man were they light compared to my KM3's.

Still need to swap the spare on monday but 80mph on the freeway and it didn't feel like it was going to fly apart

Stopped at Costco on the way home and found this when we came out

My KM3s balanced perfectly and are vibe free at highway speeds. I cannot say the same for may last set of MT or Coopers.
I have a 35" MT spare that has over a pound of weight on it.
