Mike Melton road-force tests the B.F. Goodrich KO3 and finds it badly out of balance, needing about 18 oz of wheel weights compared to the 7-11 oz typical for quality tires. The road-force reading hits 27, well above acceptable. He contrasts this with Nitto and Toyo tires that consistently balance much better.
