Overview
The BF Goodrich 30×10.00R15NHS Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 (part number BFG50627) is a 30-inch UTV tire for 15-inch wheels, with the KM3 mud and rock tread.
BF Goodrich designs the KM3 for mud, rock and loose soil. Mud-Phobic Bars release packed mud, and the Terrain-Attack blocks grip from any approach angle. The Krawl-TEK compound is aimed at traction on rock, and CoreGard Max sidewall technology adds protection against sharp objects.
This version is 30 inches tall and 10 inches wide and mounts on a 15-inch wheel, so owners running 15-inch UTV wheels should start with this part number.
The tire is typed as a UTV tire with a Mud Terrain tread, and its size code is 30×10.00R15NHS. Ply rating, load index and weight should be confirmed for your build before ordering.
Key features
- Mud-Terrain tread with large Terrain-Attack blocks
- Mud-Phobic Bars to clear compacted mud
- Krawl-TEK compound for traction on rock
- Linear Flex Zone for aired-down flexing
- CoreGard Max sidewall shield against sharp objects
- Fits a 15-inch rim
- Traction-Armor Sidewall Sculpture to help prevent sidewall splitting
Choosing wheels and clearance
A 30-inch tire is taller than most UTV stock setups, so wheel diameter and tire height are the first things to match. Since this tire mounts on a 15-inch rim, confirm your wheels are that diameter before anything else. Wheel offset and backspacing also affect how close the tire sits to the body, so check them when mounting.
Clearance is usually the limiting factor. Test at full articulation with the machine loaded as you normally run it, and watch for rubbing against the fenders, suspension arms, steering links and frame. A small amount of rubbing that grows over time can wear through a tire or body panel, so solve it early.
Tall tires also change gearing and effective ground clearance. Expect slower steering response at low speed, and check the drive belt and axles for added stress after the first few outings. Keep the rear suspension and steering components in good order, since they carry the extra height.
- Test fit at full articulation
- Check wheel diameter before buying

Vehicle fitment
No named vehicle goes with BFG50627. It is a universal-fit tire defined by size: 30 inches tall, 10 inches wide, 15-inch rim.
UTVs running wheels of another diameter need a different KM3 part number, and this tire will not seat on them.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Mount this tire on a 15-inch wheel and balance it; a tire shop that works on UTV wheels can do both. Body and suspension clearance is the main question with a 30-inch tire, so test fit at full articulation before heading onto a trail. Many owners also re-check lug nut tightness after the first drive on a newly mounted tire.
