To say that the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 is long-awaited is an understatement. That’s because its predecessor – the legendary all-terrain tyre that is the KO2 – has been around for a decade now. As with landmark cars, it’s difficult to replace an icon.
BFG summed up the KO3’s improvements into 3Ts – toughness, traction and treadwear. For toughness, the KO3 features CoreGard Technology and Advanced Deflection Design for enhanced sidewall toughness. Great traction is provided by the updated serrated shoulder design and mud-phobic bars for better mud traction.Last but certainly not least is treadwear.
In ‘Traction & Treadwear’, they showcased the KO3’s durability and performance via dirt braking, mud acceleration and accelerated treadwear.Finally, ‘All-Terrain On-Road & Off-Road’ saw us driving on gravel and a short section on tarmac. The public road section was short ; still it was useful to demonstrate the much-improved on-road manners of the KO3.
