BFGoodrich KO3 All Terrain Tire Launches as Successor to KO2

[Rwhite692]

No interest in this tire, unless they release a 37/12.50-17, in Load Range C.

It would also be nice if it actually measured out close to 37"

yup, most tire brands are such a rip off, they are not even true to size!

The ko2's I have in 35" are just a tall 33" tire..

Just checked Tire Rack. As stated in the article, looks like they've released more sizes in May but still no 315/70/R17 size yet.

Have had 285/70r17 K03s on my 2003 F150 since December and here are the differences to me if the tire compared to the K02s on my Raptor.

The K03s tread is not as spaced out as the K02, and it shows because they are slightly quieter than the K02. As far as rain and snow performance, they seem the same. Looks wise the K02 looks a little better, as the sidewalls look to have a more tread. K03 looks awesome still though.

Finally someone with real world experience with both. Kudos dude.

Thanks man. If it helps even further had Goodyear Wranglers on the truck (same as Bronco Sas) before these K03s. Man these are 100 times better. K03s are quite while Goodyears sang so loud. Snow traction and confidence is definitely a lot better (actually spun out on Goodyears).

See 1:10 of this video:



The author said he received a release sheet from BF Goodrich. The sheet shows that the 315/70R/17 size will be released August of this year.

Can someone explain what the F at the end means on some sizes?? 315/70/17F for example

The F would be the load range of that particular tire. Most tires in that size are typically a C,D or E load range, but there are a few tires out there that are available in a load range F.

Thank you.

Seems overkill for a Bronco?

I guess it would depend on your driving style. If you drive city/highway, it might be a bit much, but you can take advantage of the extra durability in off road type situations.
