BFGoodrich expands all-terrain tire options for Toyota Tacoma - Torque News
Tacomas in the snow (you know the acronym) has been a hot topic lately on every Tacoma forum. Coincidental to that, or maybe not, BFGoodrich today announced that it is expanding its T/A KO2 all-terrain tire line significantly. The tire maker specifically mentions Toyota trucks in its most recent press release. The new version of the KOS is 20% stronger in the sidewall than the KO line according to the tire maker. Most tires that are all-terrain spend most of their miles on asphalt and gravel. To maximize the KO2’s tread life on these surfaces by 15% or more, BFGoodrich changed the tread compound. The tread was designed to eject stones, rather than trap them and allow the stones to dig into the tire’s compound. Looking at the design, it is clear this is not a winter road-tire design. By the end of the summer, the company says it will have added 61 new sizes of this tire. Source: www.torquenews.com
