BFGoodrich ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO3 Reviews

After fitting a set of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tyres to my 4WD, I’ve put them through exactly the kind of conditions they’re built for—rocky climbs, soft sand, muddy tracks, and plenty of highway driving in between. After several months of real-world use, I can confidently say these tyres have exceeded expectations in ways that matter to both serious off-roaders and everyday drivers. What stands out immediately is their off-road capability. The traction is exceptional, particularly in loose and uneven terrain. On steep, rocky inclines where lesser tyres would slip or struggle for grip, the KO3s maintain consistent contact and control. The sidewall design really proves its worth here too—there’s a reassuring toughness when navigating sharp rocks or rutted tracks, reducing the chances of potential punctures. In muddy conditions, the tread pattern is noticeably effective. Instead of clogging up and losing grip, the tyres shed mud very well for an AT Tyre, quickly, maintaining traction and forward momentum. Sand driving is equally impressive; airing down provides a wide, stable footprint that glides over soft surfaces without digging in. On-road performance is excellent for such an effective off road tyre. While there is some road noise—it’s far from intrusive, especially at highway speeds. Handling remains predictable, and braking feels stable even in wet conditions. For a tyre that leans toward off-road performance, the balance they strike on sealed roads is genuinely useful for daily driving. Durability is another major strength. The rubber compound feels robust without being overly stiff, and tread wear has been minimal despite a mix of harsh terrain and long-distance travel. These tyres give the impression they’re built to last, making them a solid long-term investment rather than a short-term upgrade. What I appreciate most is how confidence-inspiring they are. Whether you’re heading off the beaten track or just dealing with unpredictable road conditions, they consistently deliver reliable performance. They don’t just look aggressive—they back it up with real capability. And unlike the old KO2's (towards the end), they dont need rebalancing after every off road adventure. Overall, the BFGoodrich KO3 is a standout choice for anyone serious about off-roading but still needing a tyre that performs capably in everyday use. They combine toughness, traction, and on-road manners into a package that genuinely enhances the driving experience.

We have had 8 sets of KO2 tyres across several hilux and 76 series vehicles and loved them. Have put 2 sets of KO3 on our 2 hilux utes with allot of gravel/dirt road use and they are great. However the near new KO3 tyres are like driving on ice in the wet and are completely dangerous and unsafe on sealed roads and we will be looking at other options in the future. Sorry situation with no reply after lodging complaint with Michelin a week ago. 

seeing as we live remotely these tires have have been 1 of the best buys, we travel along our street which is 15km of dirt, usually you would hear a lot  of road noise but with these tires its been  cut in half  which is great, i would recommend these tires family and friends

Took the shark to Yeagarup dunes and it blew me away on the sand. A lot had to do with the performance of the vehicle but no issues with these tyres in soft sand. 

The shark is a heavy electric and road noise is noticeable if present. The KO3s are next to quiet. They struggle in the mud but still clear enough tread to put up a fight. A definite advancement over the legendary KO3s. 

Great tyre on slow & fast bitumen.Great on dirt roadsUnexpectantly Quiet Comfortable 

If my 2003 Landcruiser Prado 120 could talk, it’d be raving about its KO3s like a foodie talks about their air fryer – endlessly and with deep, passionate devotion. These BF Goodrich All Terrains aren’t just tyres – they’re confidence in a circular form.First off, they look the part. Rugged, tough, and downright sexy – like a tyre that could wrestle a crocodile and still rock up to dinner clean. And yet, despite their aggressive tread, they’re surprisingly refined on the road. Comfortable? Yep. Quiet? For all that grip, they’re practically whispering.I’ve thrown everything at them – wet roads, muddy trails, rocky climbs, and even a beach or two – and they’ve gripped on like a toddler with a lollipop. They’ve worn well too. I’d almost say too well – I keep checking them, thinking surely they should be looking worse by now. But no, they’re just built different.Yes, they’re at the top end of the market, but for good reason – these tyres don’t just tick boxes, they off-road stomp all over them. Honestly, they’ve turned my trusty Prado into a terrain-conquering beast.So, if you’re reading this and sitting on the fence about the KO3s – hop off, get a set, and prepare to fall in love. Just don’t tell your partner you love your tyres more than them… unless your partner’s also into off-roading. In which case, marry them AND buy more KO3s.BF Goodrich – take my moola. Or better yet, give me those new tyres so I can keep living the dream. My 'Monochrome Maverick' Prado is ready for a new set of black and white BFG's.

Look good feei great never had flat tyre with bfg with ko2 ,Withall cars l had in past l always used bfg all train tyre ,never had flat tyre, feel confident all types road condition,

I have 265/70 17 on my hilux i find the tyres great in the sand and mud. Good in gravel and dirts roads but found after some wear and tear they were quite dangerous on wet roads particulary roundabouts sharp corners in built up areas. If i had the funds now to be honest id like to throw some maxxis or nittos on and give them a go.

They are the true All Terrain Tyre
