There aren't many names from the world of rubber and tread that have crossed over into the popular lexicon, but BFGoodrich's Radial All-Terrain T/A is one tire that has stood the test of time. Launched in 1976, it helped define what an all-terrain tire would be, and fifty years later, its lineage is still going strong.
The latest iteration, the KO3, takes the spirit of its predecessors and ratchets up the performance dial with better tread wear, improved gravel durability, stronger snow traction, and the same sidewall stoutness that made its predecessors fan favorites. To celebrate 50 years of its radial all-terrain heritage, BFGoodrich is expanding its KO3 lineup by rolling out 12 additional sizes this year, part of a phased launch that will see more than 100 sizes available by the end of 2026.
The new sizes are set to replace corresponding KO2 sizes, marking a clear passing of the torch in the brand's all-terrain lineup. This expansion is a fitting way to honor five decades of adventure rubber: a tire that grew up on the trail, learned to handle the highway, and continues to evolve in ways that keep both off-road purists and daily drivers grinning.
The KO3 has earned its reputation by blending trail-ready toughness with everyday usability, making it a go-to choice for truck owners and overlanders alike. With its latest upgrade, the KO3 is poised to take on even more terrain, from gravel and mud to snow and highway miles.
As BFGoodrich continues to push the boundaries of all-terrain tire technology, one thing is clear: the Radial All-Terrain T/A has cemented its place in the hearts of off-road enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.
The KO3's latest upgrades demonstrate BFGoodrich's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. As an all-terrain tire, it's essential to strike a balance between on-road usability and off-road capability, and the KO3 has proven itself to be a masterclass in this regard.
