The new All-Terrain T/A KO3 from BFGoodrich

BFGoodrich has announced the launch of its new All-Terrain T/A KO3 tyre in Europe with its legendary toughness, now even stronger.

 The launch underlines the brands technical advancement and a response to the expectations of increasing demands from drivers. Whether on roads, mountains, snow, mud, or sand, the All-Terrain T/A KO3 has been specially designed to instil confidence in versatility and endurance.

The 4×4 market is currently undergoing a transformation in Europe with the supply of purely off-road vehicles shrinking, whilst the existing fleet is ageing. Owners now keep their 4x4s for an average of 12.4 years, compared to 8.4 years in 2000. Yet the off-roading culture remains very much between pure off-roading and exploration with the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tyre set to clearly stand out with a  combination of road comfort and safety and unmatched off-road capabilities.

Developed to outperform its predecessor, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 offers improved traction and handling on all surfaces and in all weather conditions. Its fully redesigned tread maximises grip, even in extreme situations. The notched rack shoulders, combined with Mud-Phobic bars, allow rapid and efficient evacuation of mud and snow, ensuring constant traction on rough or slippery terrain. This new design has already earned the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake) certification, a true guarantee of winter performance and a differentiating factor on the market.

With the KO3, BFGoodrich once again push the limits of durability, offering a 15% longer lifespan compared to its predecessor, the KO2. Plus a new all-terrain rubber formulation, more resistant to daily wear and extreme stresses and a Contact patch optimisation ensuring greater even tread wear, guaranteeing performance over time. Finally the 3D self-locking sipes, now present across the entire tread depth, improve tyre stability while extending lifespan, even on abrasive terrain.

The tyre is 20 per cent tougher due  to .CoreGard technology which has been reinforced and extra rubber extends further over the shoulder and upper sidewall, effectively protecting this critical area from impacts and external damage. Additionally, a rubber compound directly derived from the famous Baja T/A KR3 race tyre, known for resistance to cuts and impacts, is used. This combination allows the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 to perform reliably in the most extreme conditions, from rocky deserts to rough forest tracks.

The All-Terrain T/A KO3 has also been redesigned to reflect its off-road heritage and competitive DNA and features the new Baja Champion logo to note the brand’s expertise in the world’s toughest races. The marking has also been updated for better readability, with a broader range of tyres with iconic white markings, available in 63 dimensions. A styling detail that appeals to both 4×4 purists and overlanding enthusiasts seeking a bold look. For those who prefer a more understated look, the symmetrical profile allows easy black sidewall use, by simply reversing the tyre on the rim.
