Mike Melton compares BFGoodrich's KO2 and newer KO3 tires. The KO3 has larger tread blocks, more siping for wet traction, and a redesigned water-evacuation pattern. The side blocks are bigger too, giving it a more aggressive look.
Here's a review. Everybody's been waiting on this. Is that brand new? Be up good wrench. Tak03s. Now, let's go over this tire. All right, so here's the Ko2 right next to the brand new Ko3. All right, so as you see, the Ko2 tread blocks are a lot different than the Ko3. The Ko3 tread blocks are a lot larger. All right, so let me show you how they're evacuating the water different on this tire than they are on this one. All right, so as you see how the tread blocks are designed, the water is going to go out, go out here, through there. Now, this one, you got the tread blocks. They come, come, and it gets trapped right here. So that's why this one don't have as good as wet traction as this one. That's one of the improvements that B.F. goodrich made. Second improvement are the sipes in the tire. There's a lot more siping in this time than it is in this one. So the wet traction should be improved in this new BFG KO3. And these side tread blocks right here are a lot larger than they are on that Ko2, so it's going to give you a little bit better look, too. So for the guys who love bfgs or used to love that ko2, this one right here should be a big improvement for you.
