BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 LT285/70 R17 121/118R

If passenger tires from the North American company BFGoodrich are not particularly popular, then their analogs for SUVs are often called "classics of the genre" and "legendary". These epithets will certainly be applied to the All Terrain T/A KO2 model, which has recently appeared in the manufacturer's assortment. Its distinctive feature is not the versatility of application, but the technical solutions that ensure this. Most of them were "borrowed" from professional off-road tires. But, unlike them, this model is well adapted for operation on highways, where it demonstrates good performance. However, its strongest sides are still manifested outside the paved roads.

Reinforced sidewall construction

Like the previous generation tire, this model is equipped with reinforced sidewalls. But in this case, their stiffness has been further increased thanks to the use of CoreGuard technology, which has previously proven itself on racing tires. Its essence lies in the increased thickness of the sidewalls and the use of a special compound in their manufacture, characterized by increased resistance to any mechanical impact.

Extended service life even off-road

As you know, one of the "trademark" features of BFGoodrich off-road tires is excellent durability even in the most severe operating conditions. This model is not only no exception to this rule but also manifests this property more vividly. This was achieved through several technical solutions. One of them was a significant increase in the tread width, which allows the load on the contact patch to be distributed more evenly, thereby reducing the likelihood of uneven wear. This feature is further enhanced by the optimized shape, size, and arrangement of the blocks. Additionally, special elements in the grooves between them prevent stones from getting stuck, which also contributes to the increased service life of the tire.

Excellent traction properties on any surface
The tread pattern of this tire is replete with numerous blocks that have a complex configuration to achieve excellent performance on any type of surface. The significant height of these elements and their spaced arrangement improve traction characteristics on wet earth surfaces.

In turn, the aggressive design of the shoulder areas, part of which is located on the sidewalls, provides the tire with confident behavior on rocky surfaces. Additionally, the arrangement of blocks in a checkerboard pattern and numerous 3D lamellas allow the tire to demonstrate good grip on icy and snowy roads.

Key features of the BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 tire

- Reinforced sidewalls made of a compound resistant to mechanical stress provide reliable protection off-road;
- a long service life and reliability even in the most severe operating conditions are ensured by a very robust carcass, wear-resistant rubber compound, and increased tread width;
- excellent performance on any type of surface is provided by an optimized open design featuring a large number of polygonal blocks arranged in a checkerboard pattern.
