Key Features
- Authentic BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM3 Design — These tyres replicate the aggressive tread pattern of the legendary full-size BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM3, ensuring your 1/6 scale crawler looks as realistic as it performs. The authentic styling adds visual appeal and justifies the choice of genuine brand licensing in the RC hobby market.
- 2.9-Inch Diameter Size — Specifically sized for 1/6 scale rock crawlers, these tyres provide the correct proportions and clearances for vehicles in this scale class. The 2.9-inch dimension ensures compatibility with Axial SCX6 models and similar vehicles in the rock crawler category.
- Included Foam Inserts — The package comes with foam inserts already included, eliminating the need for separate purchases. These inserts are essential for tyre stiffness and performance, and including them saves money and removes hassle from the purchasing process.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on compatible vehicles, providing flexibility in your setup choices. This dual-position capability means you can mix and match tyre types across your vehicle if desired, or use a matched set throughout.
- Rock Crawler Optimised — Engineered specifically for rock crawling applications, these tyres are designed to excel on rocky, uneven, and challenging terrain. The tread pattern and rubber compound are tuned for the demanding conditions that rock crawlers encounter, rather than being a generic all-purpose tyre.
- Pair Pack Format — Supplied as a set of two tyres, this pack provides enough for one complete axle or partial vehicle coverage. For those seeking a complete set of four tyres, two pairs would be required, allowing you to upgrade your entire vehicle in stages if preferred.

These tyres are designed to work across front and rear positions on compatible vehicles, eliminating the need for different tyre types across your crawler's axles.
