Description
The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 RWL (Raised White Letters) builds upon the legendary KO2, delivering superior mud and snow traction, dramatically improved wet braking, and an impressively quiet on-road ride. It is widely considered an exceptional, durable jack-of-all-trades for both daily highway commuting and rugged off-roading.
Key Performance Categories
- On-Road & Comfort: Despite its aggressive all-terrain profile, the KO3 is a major step up in civility from its predecessor. Drivers consistently report reduced highway drone and exceptional ride comfort for daily driving. The optimized footprint distributes stress evenly, preventing uneven wear and wheel wobble over time.
- Off-Roading & Durability: Featuring race-proven CoreGard+ Technology, the KO3’s reinforced 3-ply polyester casing and serrated shoulders provide massive resistance against sidewall punctures and splitting on sharp rocks or rutted tracks. “Mud-phobic” bars help the tread shed built-up mud much quicker than previous generations, and airing down gives a wide, stable footprint for soft sand.
- Winter & Wet Conditions: The KO3 features roughly 30% more siping than the KO2, which translates to a massive leap in snow, ice, and wet braking capabilities. It is certified with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating for severe snow service. While wet performance and hydroplaning resistance are excellent, some drivers note that dedicated winter tires still hold a distinct edge on pure, hard-packed ice.
