Hakkas are mounted! I’ll tackle the spare tomorrow!
I adjusted the tire height to 33.8” with the Pulsar! They’re just shy of a 1/2” shorter than the 35” KM3s!

Wishing for the icy/snowy roads from the other night, but had to settle for wet instead! Not even a little patch of black ice!
Thats a DAMN long drive for me to test them out! I certainly do wish I could!
How many miles on the km3’s and how u liking them?
I'm 86 straight miles from Moab as the crow flies which is entirely over some of the roughest canyon country. Another 57 miles further going by road. Like Moab we got some powder snow this morning, but not enough to test them out on.
I have about 12,000 miles on them! A couple thousand at highway speeds pushing 80mph!
Surprisingly quiet and smooth for a knobby mud tire! I’ve run Swampers, original BFG Mud Terrains, **** Cepek Fun Country...I like these best! Didn’t get the expected hydroplaning on wet pavement, even at highway speeds!
The majority of driving is rolled gravel here! I’m guessing one more good, usable summer out of them! Maybe 20,000 miles before they won’t perform well off road! They performed excellent in my woods! Lots of rutted, sloppy, sticky, black mud! Even for such a heavy truck, always kept me moving forward! They make a good, all around trail tire! I do rotate 5 of them!
Oh, also towed my toyhauler and equipment trailer at highway speeds quite comfortably!
I’d buy them again!
Hmmm, still no snow on the roads!
Are you running the LT3 or the 9s? I'm due for new snows next season and the hankooks have come up in price a lot so the Hakka 9s are only slightly more probably because the 10s are coming soon, but the LT3 are about 400 a set more than the 9s. Figure the LT3 being a higher load rating would last an extra season making up for the price, but not sure. The 9s have a high enough rating for my 1/2 ton.Finally...SNOW! 3 hours plowing with the RZR!

The new Hakkapelliitas performed as expected...EXCELLENTLY!
Great steering and braking in heavy, wet snow, and in the soft, slushy stuff! “Hoping” to see some black ice this evening!

Yeah, well that's what chains are for.LT3 studded!
Proved themselves again today! Total confidence on any icy/snowy road surface!
Not so great in deep powder in my back pasture though!
