FAQ
Is the BFGoodrich KO3 good?
Yes, especially for 4x4 pickups and SUVs driven on both paved roads and off-road. BFGoodrich says the KO3 wears 15% slower than the KO2 and is over 20% more durable on gravel roads, while keeping the same sidewall toughness as the KO2.
What is the difference between the KO3 and KO2?
The KO3 has an all-new compound and tread pattern. BFGoodrich says it wears 15% slower, is over 20% more durable on gravel and has better traction in mud and snow, while sidewall toughness and soft-dirt traction stay at the same level as the KO2.
Is the BFGoodrich KO3 quiet?
Quieter than the previous model. BFGoodrich Thailand says the KO3's special compound is smooth and quiet, reducing noise more than the KO2. It is still an A/T tire with large tread blocks, so if you never go off-road, a highway tire is a better fit.
