All-Terrain T/A KO3 Tire

The KO3 outperforms its predecessor, the KO2, with significant improvements in treadwear, toughness, and traction, making it an ideal choice for off-road enthusiasts. In Malaysia’s diverse landscape, from rugged off-road trails to urban streets, the KO3 is engineered to meet the unique demands of local drivers.

Key Features of the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 Tire

• Treadwear Featuring a newly designed tread pattern and an innovative all-terrain tread compound, the KO3 offers enhanced durability, particularly on gravel surfaces. Its optimized footprint and full-depth 3D locking sipes help distribute stress evenly, promoting uniform wear and increased mileage.

BFGoodrich Malaysia plans to release over 62 sizes of the KO3 tire over the next 24 months. Starting in September 2024, 39 sizes will be available in three phases, with an additional 19 sizes coming in 2025, and the final four sizes completing the lineup in 2026. Retail prices for the KO3 will range from RM825 to RM2,946.

• Toughness The tire boasts improved CoreGard Technology, adapted from the Baja T/A KR3, which significantly strengthens the sidewall. This helps protect against splits and bruises in the tire’s critical sidewall area, making it ideal for off-road conditions. The Advanced Deflection Design further prevents objects from snagging and damaging the sidewall.

• Traction Even in the harshest conditions, the KO3 delivers exceptional grip. Full-depth 3D locking sipes, serrated shoulders, and Mud-Phobic Bars improve mud and snow traction. The tire’s Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating underscores its superior snow performance. The KO3 also enhances wet traction, offering a 4.2-meter shorter stopping distance compared to the KO2.
