I dont get why after so long they are so afraid of cannibalizing KO2 sales that a week prior to a potential release and already OEM fitment underway we have almost zero information? Anyone buying tires either needs them now, or is doing research, or has already croaked waiting for KO3.
Just show us, its a long enough decision that if I can wait, ill wait, and if I cant, I'm not buying a old KO2 anyway with so much other stuff on the market and a KO3 rumor on top of that...

C'mon man!

Compare that to the Toyo R/T Trail, it soft launched with a couple of sizes and massive press way before they were available.

BTW @Madtiger looks like im about to surprass your 2,503 posts lol. You better step it up as a certified forum loser.

Damn postwhore you!

You may surpass me one day in the distant future but the number of people ignoring me is legendary, grasshopper.

Yeah. It's a bit ridiculous how secretive they're being. They should have posted up information on the pros and cons of the KO3 compared to their other tires. And regarding the April 1st release tire, it's not even on the website at all and it's release date is less than a week away! Wtf..

Did they show pros and cons vs. competition with the KO2s? Even now, there is no such thing for any BFG or Michelin tires.

Why? Because they are generally class-leading with most of their well-known flagship tires.

Oh don't worry, you already know I'm rocking that swiss cheese!

The website kind of blows though...
 
Actually, I remember quite well how they compared the KO2 to the KO on the KO2 release. I don't remember all of the pros and cons but I remember one specifically that was important to me: "The KO2 has 8% better mud traction than the KO"
 
Btw, I just found the HD-Terrain tire on the BF Goodrich website:


Good find.
That is def not for me. Not enough siping. Block gaps look too wide for road manners...
Need me that KO3.

To me, it looks like a KM3 with slightly extra siping (outside lugs). I'm assuming it's going to be a harder rubber for longevity which means it more than likely won't have as good of traction as the KM3 though.

Yes, they do compare with itself. But not with competition.

But yeah BFG and Michelin sites suck.
 
So, since we haven't heard anything else about the KO3 tire, I decided to ask the ChatGPT AI to provide me with some information about the tire. I don't know where it's getting its information from but it's telling me about the KO3 tire features. You guys think it's finding accurate information or just blowing smoke up my ass?

Posts like this are antithetical to my humanity! I don't give a s**t what some app is programmed to spew out on command. If this is what we've come to expect as an opinion/information post on this forum, then the future looks mighty depressing.

Just my US$0.02

Think about it…you can rest your tired fingers when someone needs PSI…they can just ask ChatGPT AI. 😂

These delays between OEM fitment of a few sizes to public release of an aftermarket version of a wide assortment of sizes is nothing new and not a BF Goodrich issue only. For what ever reason, supply of rubber, commitment to auto manufacturers, or process of mold making ??? A year gap is occurring with some major brands.

I get it, mostly curious here and upsize shopping. Ive got at least a couple more years on my Toyos, they’re wearing well enough.

Has GM come out with any more info?
