New Tire- BFGoodrich HD-Terrain T/A

a new tire is coming out from BFGoodrich. Sounds like a hybrid KO2 and KM3. Looks interesting...

Looks good but dont like E load and $440-450 a tire for size 285. Too heavy per my liking and price is too steep.

 

Looks like a great tire for heavy 3/4 and 1 ton diesel trucks that shred KO2s and KM3s. Looks like a terrible tire for a little 4Runner.

 

My thought as well. Price & weight vs the size doesn't seem in favor. For that price and weight I was keeping my eye on 35in tire from different brand.

 

Supposedly the new KO3 is coming out this year, as it's shown on the new GM HD trucks in their advertising material. One would think they would keep the 265 and 285 C-Loads in these like the KO2s, which are more fitting for the 4Runner.

 

If this means that they will be dis-continuing the KO2's, that will be a bummer since I've had such great traction, mileage and ride from them. Oh well, I felt the same way 15-20 some odd years ago when BFG went from KO's to KO2's. Change with the "new" technology.
