Bf Goodrich All Terrain T/a Ko2

The BFGoodrich All Terrain KO2 is an all-season tyre that carries the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol. According to the company, it delivers “exceptional toughness, durability and traction for traversing harsh terrain, including gravel, dirt, rock and mud giving consumers the confidence to take on the toughest challenges at work or play.” Key features include: Tougher sidewalls, longer tread life and “aggressive” traction. The KO2 uses CoreGard technology, developed in the Baja T/A KR2, with split and bruise-resistant sidewall rubber and a thicker, extended shoulder to reduce sidewall failures. Computer modelling was used to predict object paths and create a sidewall design most likely to deflect protruding objects, reducing the chances of splits and snags. In addition, the KO2’s new tread design and rubber formulation help it last twice as long on gravel and 15 per cent longer on Tarmac than the previous generation tyre. The tread rubber has been optimally blended to reduce chips and tears on gravel. A new footprint shape and interlocking tread design provide more uniform wear over the long-haul. Special stone ejectors help push objects out of the tread to reduce drilling into the tyre. When it comes to grip, the KO2 also has a range of tread features for better mud and snow traction. Side-Biter lugs in the sidewall improve traction in mud, snow and rocks. Raised bars in the shoulder help release compacted mud for better traction in soft soil. 3-D sipes create biting edges for better snow traction.
