The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3–AKA the "BFG KO3"—is the 3rd generation of BFGoodrich's legendary Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire engineered for the on and off-road tire needs of dedicated off-roaders like Jeeps, pickup trucks and 4x4 sport utility vehicles. It's built for drivers who want rugged confidence and control no matter where their journey takes them. Following up the wildly-successful All-Terrain T/A KO2, the KO3 has been carefully designed to retain the aggressive (and classic) visual elements of BFGoodrich all terrain tires, while delivering outstanding durability, improved wear-life and traction in all weather conditions—even light snow.
Available in LT fitments, load ranges, and sizes beyond 35 inches, the KO3 features a reformulated cut, chip, and tear-resistant tread compound for greater longevity and durability. Molded into a symmetric footprint designed with a generous amount of void for off-road use, while also optimizing the footprint for more even stress distribution and uniform wear. The interlocking tread blocks are designed to work in concert with one another for stability both on and off the pavement. Broad channels at the shoulders and plenty of void space to redistribute water help maintain control in the wet. The 3-D Locking Sipes are full depth and alongside the Snow/Mud notches, are designed to help drivers find the traction they need in any environment.
The upper shoulder and sidewall feature CoreGuard Technology: a bruise- and split-resistant rubber compound that extends further down the sidewall to protect more of the tire in demanding scenarios. Alternating Shoulder Scoops deliver clawing force for control and traction in sand, dirt, or grueling off-road rock driving during "aired down" adventures, while the Mud Phobic bars keep the tire clear of built-up material so it can perform as intended. And as always, the KO3 is available with raised white sidewall lettering—perfect for making your tires and wheels pop, complementing your truck's paint, or making your classic 4x4 look the part.
Internal construction of the All-Terrain T/A KO3 utilizes a durable, triple-ply polyester casing designed for strength and reliability, along with twin, high-strength steel belts providing a robust foundation for the nylon cap ply offering high-speed capability.
NOTE: BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
El neumático All-Terrain T/A KO3 es la tercera generación de los legendarios neumáticos de BFGoodrich de la categoría: Fuera De Carretera Todoterreno para camiones ligeros y fue fabricado para las necesidades dentro y fuera de carretera de Jeeps, picops y vehículos utilitarios deportivos. Su diseño proporciona control y confianza a los conductores sin importar el camino que tomen. Siguiendo el amplio éxito del ALL-Terrain T/A KO2, el All-Terrain T/A KO3 ha sido diseñado cautelosamente para mantener lo que desean los conductores de las generaciones previas, mientras aumentan la durabilidad, mejoran el desgaste y la tracción en todo tipo de clima, inclusive en presencia de nieve ligera.
El All-Terrain T/A KO3 posee un compuesto de caucho reformulado resistente a cortes, astillas y desgarros, dándole mayor longevidad. El mismo es moldeado en una huella con un diseño simétrico y con bastante espacio para su uso todoterreno, a la vez, ha sido optimizado para una distribución más pareja del estrés y proporcionar un desgaste uniforme. Los bloques de la huella interconectados han sido diseñados para trabajar entre si y proporcionar estabilidad dentro y fuera del pavimento. Surcos grandes en los hombros y bastante espacio redistribuyen el agua, para mantener control sobre superficies mojadas. Las pequeñas ranuras 3D en los bloques tienen una profundidad total y conjuntamente con las barras para nieve y lodo, ayudan a los conductores a encontrar tracción en cualquier ambiente.
La parte superior del hombro y el flanco utilizan la tecnología CoreGuard: un compuesto de caucho resistente a rasgaduras y astillas que se extiende a gran parte del flanco para proteger la mayor cantidad del neumático en escenarios exigentes. "Cucharas" alterna en la parte externa de los hombros mejoran el control y tracción en superficies con arena, polvo o rocas, en actividades aventuradas con poca presión de aire. Barras "Mud Phobic" mantiene el neumático limpio de cualquier material que se pueda acumular, para que el mismo, funcione según lo previsto.
La construcción interna del All-Terain T/A KO3 posee una estructura durable de tres capas de poliéster diseñadas para proporcionar fortaleza y confiabilidad. Esto, en conjunto con correas gemelas de acero resistente a tensiones fuertes, proporcionan una fundación robusta para la capa de nailon y ofrecer capacidad para rodar a velocidades rápidas.
NOTA: Los neumáticos All-Terrain T/A KO3 satisfacen los requisitos de la industria, en relación a condiciones de nieve severa, por esta razón, cuentan con el símbolo “tres picos montaña/copo de nieve”, 3PMSF (three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, 3PMSF).

...Wet performance is top-notch, just keep in mind the roads are wet... duhhhh...
The ONLY downside to these tires is the sidewall is so stiff Firestone was unable to install them, stating they were low-profile tires (245/40R18) which is not low profile in my opinion. Tire performance is exceptional though. I have been on several Mini car club runs along with a trip to Tail of the Dragon where I drive VERY spirited, typically doubling the "recommended" curve speed when with others and exceeding that when by myself. Tires stuck it every time. Wet performance is also top-notch, just keep in mind the roads are wet.... duhhhh. I've also tried them out in about 3 inches of snow, fresh fall / packed, and was pleasantly surprised at their snow capabilities considering how well they do on dry roads. The ride is a bit stiff but if you want the cornering you NEED stiff sidewalls so it's a give-and-take. All around great tire, I will be purchasing them again!

...Wet traction is amazing, in a way that you will notice from the first time you drive with these tires on: even light snow proved no challenge...
Amazing set of tires, even though the car I use these on is nowhere near performance oriented, the way a car can be entirely transformed with a good set of tires cannot be underestimated. Wet traction is amazing, in a way that you will notice from the first time you drive with these tires on: even light snow proved no challenge. Overall amazing set of tires, even the sidewall looks good!

These tires are insanely sticky on icy/snowy roads. Took the Miata to the mountains and roads were covered in ice. The tires gripped like glue and I was blown away. Michelin pulled some magic with these tires. My miata was handling better than many SUVs on snow. Dry traction is also great, comparing to worn out Michelin PSS. The only downside to these tires on a lightweight car like Miata is the weight and the stiffness of the tires. It feels very heavy, bumps on road are more noticeable and it overall feels less comfortable on uneven terrain. Otherwise amazing tires. Very predictable grip window both on snow/ice and dry/wet.

...Ice is also a bit better but I don't agree with other reviews that they're almost like winter tires...
Excellent dry weather tires. My car is FWD and would easily torque steer on the OEM set. These immediately catch grip and drive you wherever they're pointed. Wet weather traction is much better than my originals as well as light snow. Ice is also a bit better but I don't agree with other reviews that they're almost like winter tires.
I would happily purchase these again. They're some of the best tires I've had so far.

...Really amazing tire in the wet and dry the only problem is you don't really know you limitations...
excellent in wet . Car had run flats that I hated when purchased. These tires are slightly different size but same OD. Jeep SRT handling is twitchy and somewhat soft but still firm, so not real predictable or linear in handling characteristics . Had a Trailblazer SS previously that was more predictable but less powerful so some of my comments about tires are related to SRT handling characteristics not necessarily the tire. Really amazing tire in the wet and dry the only problem is you don't really know you limitations. Drive mostly on country roads with high crown and off camber corners with bumps, so the SRT suspension tuned for smooth track like surfaces does not inspire a lot of confidence on this type of road with a 5000# car with almost 500 horsepower. Great tire though.

Best tires I ever used. K5 GT is known to have zero traction with its stock Pirelli tires, but these Michelin Pilot Sport completely transformed the feel of the car for me. I can finally step on the gas off the line and not have my tires spin for ages. Overall cornering and traction performance increased.
Not sure if this is where I write this, but having warranty is also a great plus. Had TireRack replace one of my tires due to it bubbling up, and they didn’t give me any issues about it. So I won’t just be getting these tires again, I will also make sure to keep my business at TireRack!

...They're quieter and have a surprising level of grip; significantly better than any A/S I've previously experienced on a 944 and 993 C4S...
Superb tires for this car. OEM Pirellis looked stretched over the 20” wheels. These 265 Michelins look perfect and ride more comfortably. Even the tech who mounted the tires commented on how much better they looked. Other than the Pirellis slightly better on center feel these A/S Michelins are as good or better. They’re quieter and have a surprising level of grip; significantly better than any A/S I’ve previously experienced on a 944 and 993 C4S. A great A/S car and great A/S tires. There’s lots of hand-wringing over A/S options for the TTS and RS OEM 20/9” wheels on Audi websites. To me these Pilot Sport AS 4 XLs are ---- near perfect. Thanks to Todd for guiding me into these.

...Comfort levels are very high considering the quality of the local roads and a 40-series sidewall. It's close to some grand touring tires I've had from Pirelli and Continental. Noise levels are very good as well, though they have gotten louder in 20,000 miles, but not uncomfortably so...
I bought these in summer 2022 and now have exactly 20,000 miles. Most of my driving is in the city in stop and go conditions from 55 or 65 mph to zero for about 10-15 miles each way every day. And then on the weekend some twisty mountain roads.
These tires have exceeded my expectations in pretty much every regard. I've previously had the Pilot Sport 3 summer tire, and this tire has about 90% of the grip of that tire in good weather. Hydroplaning resistance is maybe a little bit less than the PS3 was. Comfort levels are also very high considering the quality of the local roads and a 40-series sidewall. It's close to some grand touring tires I've had from Pirelli and Continental. Noise levels are very good as well, though they have gotten louder in 20,000 miles, but not uncomfortably so. The Hankook UHP all seasons I had on before these were noticeably terrible at this point in their life.
Treadwear is very good so far I am at 6/32 to 7/32; I expect at least another 20,000 miles from these before they are too worn down to be safe for winter usage, which is pretty good for my driving style.
They do very well so far in light to moderate snowfall. They are certainly not on the same level as a dedicated winter tire, or even CrossClimates that I've had on a RWD Mercedes, but they work well in my city, which usually does a good job clearing the roads. In ice, they are about the same as every all season. If you are in a humid winter environment where there is ice, you really should be running winter tires.
I would definitely recommend these to almost anyone. I would buy them again if I were not a tire nerd who has to try out something new every time I get tires :D

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Hands down the best tires for the Tesla Model Y (all trims). It’s been a year and i’ve put about 20K miles on these and they have performed well all year round! We had a rainy season few months ago and the tires handled the puddles and wet roads like a champ.

I will buy these again 10000%!
