JMHO, of course, but Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs look like a great option before the KO3 is out in the Raptor size. It may still be great after that option is available too.
They do work well off road... However, I've seen some sidewall splits. Mickey Thompson is owned by Cooper Tires. I've yet to be impressed with any of their offerings. They are heavy and don't roll well (less mpg).

Believe the MT 37s are all Load E as well. Which will ride stiffer on lighter rigs.

I have the 37” Baja Boss AT’s, they are a D Load, ride just as smooth and quiet as the factory good years still after 10k miles, cruise 80mph every day, and post Ford Performance tune I’m getting the same MPG as when my Wildtrak was completely stock.
As far as their puncture resistance or sidewall strength, I would put them up against any other All Terrain and bet money that the Baja Boss AT is the one of, if not the toughest 3 peak rated All Terrains available today.

Great to hear! Love to get feedback as time and miles accumulate.

I am running K03’s on my 21 lifted Badlands and I LOVE ❤ them. No punctures and they ride awesome compared to the garbage Goodyears that came on mine. Quiet as well as can take a serious beating. Put on 10,000 miles ago and not regretted it once

You'll want to wait till May 2026 for the Ko3 37x12.5R17 Load C.

Biggest change for the KO3 is the 3 ply sidewall which was previously only for Load D & Load E tires. My understanding is all KO3s will have 3 ply. This is a MASSIVE improvement from your stock Ko2 with 2 ply sidewall.
Do you have a source for this? C Rated being 3 ply?

Thanks!

Surprised there isnt more talk here about the Falkon Wildpeak AT4's

Seems like a really good tire that goes head to head with the K03s

So cool to see those giants. I thought the larger sizes were rolling out very slowly with the largest last.
