BF Goodrich KO3

[LVsFINEST]

BFG actually updated the KO3 from when it was initially released. This video covers the changes between the original KO3 and the new KO3. It sounds like an all around better tire and supposedly the *new* KO3 should be better in mud.

Its not available in C load yet.

Dont hold your breath. the ko3 F has 1/32 extra tread is about 8 lbs heavier then the ko2 C.

Is there a high demand for a 315-70-17 in a F load rating? Don't follow the 3/4-1 ton truck market that much.

Never quite understood BFG making the K03 right away in a F load when Ford has been using KO's for the F-150 Raptor(including the shit KO in the Gen 1) and the Bronco Raptor. Would of guessed the C load would of been priority #1 for the 2025 Raptors.

Looks like there will be a D available next year with no plans for a C. Its funny they make two C rated ko2, a S and a T speed rating

i could see the next gen going R18. the R should have gone 18s with upgraded brakes

Whats the consensus here on these K03? Load range E scares me but they are made with a different material and manufacturing method so maybe they figured out a way to make them rage E but feel like C? I'm at 42k but with black friday sales and holiday sales coming up, if the price is right I'd love a new pair of shoes.

Who else has these that can comment? Are they easy to find? It looks like 4WheelParts doesn't carry them so I'm wondering if they are an internet special order?

Believe they are load F. If they truly are 8 lbs heavier a tire doesn’t seem too bad also waiting to hear how they ride. I need new shoes also

I just checked and Costco has them right now on their website. $1,655.61 is the total with installation with my local taxes. $414 per tire.

The K02 Stock Tire Load Range C is $1,510.96 or $375 per tire. $145 difference in price total between the two tires. But both are currently showing in stock at Costco for a first time in a long time at least in my area. Costco best price or do these go cheaper at times?

Here is the K03 specs
Tire Size: LT315/70R17/F Speed Rating: S Load Index: 128Feature: Mud plus Snow, Three Peak Mountain Snowflakes UTQG: None Run Flat: No Warranty: 50k miles Season: All-Weather

I'm seeing that the tire is generally lighter than the k02. Maybe the specific size of 315 70 r17 is heavier?

The ko3 in 315/70r17 is a load F 12 ply tire, thats why its ~8 lbs heavier!
