Stone ejectors decide the fate of tires on rocky surfaces, Both of these tires have decent stone ejectors but X3 due to its bolder stone ejectors leads on rocks.
General grabber x3 vs bfg km3 Patch#
However, on the ice, this tire is also not preferred due to its higher contact patch but still it performs significantly better compared to the other tire. KM3 performs well on soft snow but not better than its counterpart since its narrow grooves are not that effective in biting/grabbing soft snow and throwing it backwards, causing its grip to be not that great, hence, providing lower traction on snowy terrain.
The tire, however, is not trusted on ice due to a lack of a decent contact patch, making the tire lose its grip and slip-on icy roads. Just like mud, X3 is also remarkable on soft snow due to the efficiency of its wider grooves to throwback soft snow, allowing the tire to move forward. Generally, it’s a good tire on mud but may experience some trouble while trying to navigate through heavy mud. KM3 is a tire equipped with narrower grooves, resulting in lower performance on mud due to the limitations posed by the ineffectiveness of its grooves to efficiently throwback mud and keep the tire moving. The tire can effectively bite and remove the mud and allows the vehicle to propagate boldly even in heavy mud. X3 certainly leads in mud traction due to its higher void ratio and broad shoulder design providing large grooves between its studs which helps in cleaning the tire by allowing the mud to move through them easily. Its wet traction is also reliable but not greater than its competitor due to narrower grooves and fewer shallow sipes. KM3 due to its higher contact patch provides better on-road traction as the higher contact patch allows better grip, therefore, improving its on-road traction. On wet surfaces, the tire excels due to its wider grooves and numerous full-depth sipes allowing the water to easily pass through them, allowing great traction. The on-road performance of the tire is determined based upon its contact with the road, since X3 has a little higher void ratio which decreases its contact patch, hindering its grip, hence its overall, on-road dry traction is reduced. On-Road Traction Comparison Grabber X3 On Road The tire is relatively quieter on-road whereas, provides a little less comfortable ride off-road. The built of the tire is strong, as it is made of robust material used in treads along with 3 ply polyester casing, steel belts, and a single nylon cap. It has bold stone ejectors but are not comparable to that of its counterpart, putting it behind in rock terrain as well. Its shoulders are wide but are not as wide as that of X3, allowing a lesser quantity of mud to pass through them, causing the tire to lag on muddy terrain. Narrow grooves are not very efficient in evacuating the loose terrain substances like mud, soft snow, and gravel through the tread. The narrower grooves and fewer shallow sipes perform well on wet surfaces but are less capable than its counterpart. KM3 is one of the top tier mud-terrain tires, featuring an aggressive symmetrical 4 pitch tread design with comparatively densely packed smaller tread blocks allowing narrow voids between them, this excels the tire’s performance on-road due to its larger contact patch, providing greater grip. The tire is not comfortable on-road due to the loud noise it produces but is recommended for off-road travel due to its impact dampening capabilities. It is made up of a highly resistant tread compound along with high-strength steel belts and 3 ply body casing providing the tire with strength and durability to last longer on harsh terrains. The bold stone ejectors allow this tire to navigate confidently through the rocks as they prevent the stones from getting stuck inside of its grooves. This tire is ineffective on ice due to a slightly lower contact patch, making the tire to slip. The shoulder stud grooves are exceptionally large which helps in the self-cleaning action of the tire, allowing the mud to easily evacuate through them. Multi-angle tread edges are provided for an extra boost in off-road traction as they allow better biting action, making the tire retain its grip even on the most slippery surfaces. Similarly, these relatively wider grooves are very effective for removing the loose terrain such as mud, soft snow, and gravel, allowing maximum grip hence resulting in a better off-road tire. There are full-depth sipes engraved between the tread block which along with the wider grooves allow easy navigation on watery surfaces since they efficiently wipe away the water. X3 has an aggressive symmetrical 4 pitch tread design which features large tread blocks with wider and deeper grooves between them, restricting the contact of tread with the ground, causing the tire to lose grip and underperform on-road.
