Introduction:
The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 has long been a favorite in the off-road community, and now the eagerly awaited successor, the KO3, is finally here. With over 10 years of experience to draw upon, BFGoodrich promises improvements across the board for its next-generation all-terrain tire. By early 2026, the KO3 will be available in over 100 sizes to accommodate a wide range of vehicles. Let’s take a closer look at what sets the KO3 apart from its predecessor.
New Tread Pattern and Enhanced Wear:
The KO3 features a new tread pattern designed to offer improved wear, particularly on gravel surfaces. BFGoodrich boasts a footprint with full-depth 3D locking sipes that promote even wear over time. Traction in mud and snow has also been enhanced, with the new tire earning a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe snow use. The tire’s serrated shoulders and Mud-Phobic Bars are specifically highlighted for their contribution to improved traction.
Increased Durability and Toughness:
Durability has been improved in part thanks to a new tire compound specifically crafted for all-terrain use. BFGoodrich touts the tire’s sidewall toughness, earning it the Baja Champion badge. To back up its confidence in the tire’s longevity, BFGoodrich offers a 50,000-mile warranty to customers.
Rollout and Availability:
The KO3 will launch in May with 13 sizes ranging from 305/70R16 to 295/60R20. An additional 17 sizes will be released in August, and by October, the KO3 will be available for 22-inch wheels. The rollout will be completed in 2026, with over 100 sizes offered to suit various vehicles, from pickup trucks and SUVs to custom-built racing rigs.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 is set to build upon the legacy of its predecessor and take all-terrain tires to new heights. With a focus on improved wear, traction, durability, and a wide range of sizes available, the KO3 promises to meet the needs of off-road enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
