Michelin North America Inc. has released its BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tire.
The new tire is built on the performance of the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tire and features innovations that satisfy the needs of off-road consumers by incorporating the latest tire technologies, according to Michelin officials.
Features of the new BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 include a new tread pattern and all-terrain tread compound to provide longevity and durability along with full-depth 3D locking sipes; CoreGard Technology that gives the tire sidewall toughness; Advanced Deflection Design to prevent objects from splitting the sidewall; a separated shoulder design; Mud-Phobic bars for traction in mud and snow; and more.
The tire is also 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake-certified.
“BFGoodrich Tires’ legendary toughness has been made tougher with the creation of the All-Terrain KO3 tire,” says Harold Phillips, global general manager for BFGoodrich.
“We’ve done a lot of racing and research in the 10 years since we launched the KO2 tire, so a decade of data, feedback, technology and experience went into the development of the KO3 tire.
"We are our own competition, and we knew it was time to take the all-terrain tire to another level. It will be exciting to see what consumers will do – at work and at play – with the KO3 tire.”
Michelin says it will introduce more than 100 sizes over 24 months, starting with 13 sizes available in May.
The phased launch will continue with 17 additional sizes in August and five more sizes in October. An additional 52 sizes will arrive in 2025 and 19 sizes will be added in 2026.
The KO3 tire carries a 50,000-mile warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
