Hello youtube!
Merry Xmas and Happy new year to all! I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe out there. I just got back not too long ago and socal finally got some snow! jetlag or not, i took this oppertunity to test out my new KM3 tires and see how good/bad they will do in the snow.

Actually, tyre ejecting snow as it does with mud is bad. with snow, you want it to stick to the tyre! Snow on snow has the most grip, hence sipping on snow tyres. Trust me, i live in the swiss alps!

TLDR !!! Get to the point. This is supposed to be a video about tires, not everything else!

😅 Maybe you need a American product that looks better. Also, like maybe a Jeep are some old school blazer. Full size with axles are some kind of old Gm or Dodge solid axles. Car companies Make junk these days don't last long. These days, Especially foreign Named companies they are not American. Like people try to make them out to be.

Snow on snow gives the best traction.

Thanks! Appreciate the video. I'm sure there are so many variables to consider when it comes to which one is better for your personal uses. But good to know that general impressions are very good with the slightly more expensive tire that isn't rated for snow, but does well nonetheless.

Oh my god, stop it. You keep making a big furken deal about going through this soo deep snow! All I see is a liesurely slog in the compacted tracks of other previous vehicles. I't don't even snow much in SE Michigan but I leave out of my own driveway, espcially if they plowed me in through way more fresh deep snow that this little mess. the snow as maybe 8 inches all around you but all the driving shown is something a car could traverse on all season tires, unless the center hump created too much drag and I don't see that it would have. Really overblown but thanks anyway beceause I am considerin the KM3s on my short list of replacements for my current M/Ts

Love the 100 series! You mentioned how it sheds snow, one thing to note about why MT's don't perform amazing in the snow compared to snow tires is that mud tires are designed to shed mud, but snow tires are actually designed to hold snow. Snow on Snow traction is actually pretty good, so tires holding onto snow actually improves traction, that's why the siping on snow tires holds onto snow. So the "shedding" characteristic of Mud Terrains actually reduces it's snow performance unless it's in super deep snow.

I think I was up there during the same time. We came up the coxey trail then went over to Holcomb valley. It was a blast and my KM3’s shredded in the snow.

You should just assume people do their product research

[@UncleFjester]

Deep Snow? Thats not even 2" on top of the packed🤦‍♂️

I bought a 2000 Land Cruiser back in February and your channel is far and away my favorite for all things LC. I hope that you continue to make more content. Great channel and keep up the good work.

Welcome back Happy Holidays. Bought 5 of these two weeks ago. Very pleased.

I loved my km2s in the snow unless it was just a plowed layer that was packed down on the black top or ice but it was predictable if you knew the tire no sudden movements but in the dirt where they could dig and get traction they dominated in the snow on my little 4x4 5 speed 4.3 blazer 30x9.50 15s. I really love to try the km3s.

[@authenthuse5165]

Welcome back and nice video! Just one clarification in snow you want your tires to pack up with snow since snow-to-snow coefficient of friction is higher than rubber-to-snow!! The KM3 (and other MT) tires are designed to clear the tread of snow they don't actually provide as much traction as KO2 (and other AT) tires. AT tires tread get filled with the snow and provide superior traction.

[@luisgutierrez-mz6fe]

I can't wait to test my km3s. Nice video. Keep up the good work..

[@SuckOnThis]

Awesome video! The drone shot is superb👍

[@weewee9464]

Freaking awesome video

[@thatoneguy985]

I'm peeping on that FC in the background 🥵

[@user-br2ve8ix7v]

Good day. Thank you for the video. Please tell me what kind of rubber you use during snow and frost from -20 to -40

[@lawnmower11]

Good vid, on my 100 I’m either going to get another set of BFG KO2’s or the Cooper at3 xlt, thanks for the review!!
