How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
74/100From 186 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The BFGoodrich All Terrain TA KO3 receives generally favorable reviews, with many users praising it as a substantial improvement over the older KO2 model in terms of road noise, ride comfort, and overall refinement. Drivers appreciate its impressive dry grip, braking performance, and competent off-road capabilities on dirt, gravel, and trails. However, some users report persistent balancing difficulties and high road force numbers, while others note limitations in wet weather traction and ice.
Pros
- Significantly quieter and more comfortable on-road than the KO2
- Excellent braking performance and dry grip
- Strong off-road capability on dirt, gravel, and rough terrain
- Good snow traction compared to factory options
- Improved tread wear and rugged 10-ply construction
Cons
- Consistent balancing issues and high road force measurements reported by multiple users
- Subpar or uninspiring wet weather traction, particularly when new
- Mediocre ice performance, behaving like a typical all-terrain rather than a dedicated winter tire
- Slower steering response and a heavier truck-like feel
- Premium price point
Worth knowing
- Drivers transitioning from standard load (SL) tires to heavy E-rated KO3s were pleasantly surprised by how well the ride quality was maintained on full-size trucks like the Ford F-150 and Lexus GX470.
- Owners with heavy-duty LT sizes and stiffer load ranges (such as LR-F or certain 10-ply setups) experienced more pronounced balancing challenges, steering wheel shake, and bed hop at higher speeds.
- Factory-equipped drivers on vehicles like the Ranger Raptor noted great loose-surface performance, though wet tarmac confidence remained a concern.
