Description of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 265/65 R18 117R summer
The BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 is the most durable off-road tire ever made. 50% road, 50% off road.
If passenger tires from the North American company BFGoodrich are not particularly popular, then their counterparts for SUVs are often called “classics of the genre” and “legendary”. These epithets will most likely be applied in the future to the All Terrain T / A KO2 model, which appeared in the manufacturer''s assortment quite recently. Its distinguishing feature is not the versatility of application, but the technical solutions that provide it. Most of them were "borrowed" from professional off-road tires. But unlike them, this model is well adapted for use on the highway, where it demonstrates good performance. However, its greatest strengths still manifest themselves outside paved roads.
Like the previous generation tire, this model is equipped with reinforced sidewalls. But in this case, its rigidity has been further increased, thanks to the use of CoreGuard technology. Previously, she has successfully established itself on racing tires. Its essence lies in the increased thickness of the sidewalls and the use of a special compound in its manufacture, which is characterized by increased resistance to any mechanical stress.
As you know, one of the "signature" features of off-road tires from BFGoodrich is excellent endurance when operating even in the most difficult operating conditions. This model in this regard is not only not an exception, but also shows this property more clearly. This was achieved through several technical solutions at once. One of them was a significant increase in tread width, due to which the load on the contact patch is distributed more evenly, thereby reducing the likelihood of uneven wear. This feature is further enhanced by the optimized shape, size and arrangement of the blocks. In addition, there are special elements in the grooves between them that prevent stones from getting stuck, which also helps to increase the life of the tire.
The tread pattern of this tire is replete with numerous blocks, which, in order to achieve excellent performance on any type of surface, have a complex configuration. The significant height of these elements and the location at a great distance from each other improve traction characteristics on earthen soils with a high moisture content.
In turn, the aggressive design of the shoulder zones, part of which is located on the sidewalls, provides the tire with confident behavior on rocky surfaces. In addition, the staggered block arrangement and numerous 3D sipes allow the tire to exhibit good grip on icy and snowy roads.
The main features of the BFGoodrich All Terrain T / A KO2 tire are reinforced sidewalls made of a compound resistant to mechanical stress, providing
Hide
Pros
- stunning appearance, excellent road manners, and robust sidewall construction.
Cons
- extremely cumbersome, with a significant cost
Pros
- You may ride it on any road, in all weather, and as far as your automobile will allow, you won't notice any difference in performance compared to standard summer and winter tires.
Cons
- Consumption per liter went up from 11 to 12 because of the increased weight.
Pros
- Excellent traction on any terrain, including moderate off-road and heated asphalt. sturdy and resistant to wear. Visual aspect. comfortable travel over all sorts of speed bumps, cracks, and potholes.
Cons
- NOISE ! particularly powerful between 60 and 80 km/h. It slightly lessens as we get closer to 120, then it picks back up. extremely hefty and has poor pavement rolling ability. Fuel usage has increased significantly.
Pros
- Longevity, stability, and integrity in performance. Appearance.
Cons
- When balancing, put 150gr on one wheel and up to 100gr on the others. Weight. This version has black lettering.
Pros
- tires that are quite specialized. Indestructibility, wear resistance, and good rowing all agree! As the tread becomes clogged, you travel through deep snow like a steam engine on tracks with an honest all-wheel drive. Sand, intersections, and clay are ordinary. The city has no purpose whatsoever. The ideal tires are for drivers who do 70–75 percent of their driving in rural areas and the rest in urban areas. Even all-wheel drive didn't always need to be engaged in some situations.
Cons
- Despite being marketed as all-weather, it is not the ideal choice for the cold. It begins to tan and not faintly at -15 and above. As a matter of fact, ice has no grasp! Additionally, there is no common way to turn on full or stay in the back on the ice after ten years of driving on this rubber (this is the third set already). Very noisy.
Pros
- Matches the advertised features exactly.
Cons
- No
Pros
- Not killed, year-round, reliable tires. In my opinion, there is no better SUV on the market. It looks dignified and presentable, the inscriptions can be hidden inside if you do not like it. I had a set for the LC 200, the second one is now on the Prado 120.
Cons
- Increased fuel consumption by 15% for sure.
Pros
- There is no better all-wheel drive for everyday use!
Cons
- Slippery on ice
