295/75 R16 123R BF Goodrich T/A KO

The 295/75R16 123R BF Goodrich T/A KO is a heavy-duty all-terrain (A/T) tyre designed for off-road enthusiasts and those who require robust, high-performance tyres for their 4×4 vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks. Built for challenging terrain, the T/A KO delivers excellent performance both off-road and on highways, making it an ideal choice for drivers who regularly venture into rugged, off-road conditions.

Tyre Size and Parameters:

• 295: The 295 millimetres refers to the width of the tyre’s tread from sidewall to sidewall. A 295 mm width offers a larger contact patch, which provides better grip and stability on rough, uneven terrain and enhances traction when off-roading. This wider footprint also increases load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for trucks and SUVs that require heavy-duty performance.
• 75: The aspect ratio of 75 means the height of the sidewall is 75% of the tyre’s width (295 mm). A higher aspect ratio provides more cushioning and better shock absorption, particularly useful for off-road applications where tyres are subjected to uneven surfaces, bumps, and impacts. The taller sidewall also offers improved off-road comfort and helps prevent damage when driving over rocks or obstacles.
• R: The R stands for radial construction, which is the most common and widely used tyre construction. Radial tyres are designed with layers of steel belts and fabric arranged radially from the centre, offering better flexibility, handling, and ride comfort, especially on rough terrains. Radial construction improves traction and durability, particularly for off-road conditions.
• 16: The tyre fits a 16-inch diameter wheel, a popular size for off-road vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs. This size provides a good balance between off-road capability and on-road performance.
• 123: The load index of 123 indicates that the tyre can support a maximum load of 1700 kg per tyre in a single configuration. This high load rating is ideal for trucks and heavy-duty vehicles that require enhanced load-carrying capacity, making the T/A KO a solid choice for towing, carrying gear, or heavy off-road applications.
• R: The speed rating of R means the tyre is rated for a maximum speed of 170 km/h (106 mph). While this rating is lower compared to some high-performance tyres, it is more than sufficient for off-road and light truck applications where high-speed performance is typically not a priority.

Key Features:

1. All-Terrain Performance: The T/A KO is designed to provide excellent traction both on and off-road. Its aggressive tread design ensures superior grip on loose, wet, or rough surfaces such as mud, gravel, sand, and snow. At the same time, it provides adequate comfort and control on highways and city streets.
2. Heavy-Duty Construction: With a load index of 123, the T/A KO is built to handle heavy loads. This makes it ideal for trucks and off-road vehicles that are frequently used for towing, hauling, or carrying heavy cargo. It is designed to endure demanding applications while maintaining stability and durability.
3. Aggressive Tread Pattern: The deep, interlocking tread blocks of the T/A KO offer superior traction on a variety of surfaces. The wide, open spaces between the blocks help clear debris and mud from the tread, enhancing grip in challenging off-road conditions. This tread pattern provides maximum traction for serious off-roaders.
4. Durability and Toughness: The T/A KO is built to withstand the harshest off-road environments. It features reinforced sidewalls and a tough rubber compound that resists cuts, punctures, and abrasions from rocks, debris, and other obstacles commonly encountered on trails and rough terrain. This added durability ensures the tyre performs over long distances and tough conditions.
5. Snow and Ice Performance: The T/A KO is also designed for winter conditions. It performs well in light snow and ice, thanks to its aggressive tread pattern and large voids that help maintain traction on slippery surfaces. This makes it suitable for year-round driving in areas with occasional snow or winter weather.
6. Self-Cleaning Tread: The tyre’s tread design is self-cleaning, meaning it sheds mud, dirt, and debris as the vehicle moves, ensuring that the tyre maintains optimal traction on off-road trails. This feature helps reduce the risk of getting bogged down in soft terrain or muddy roads.
7. On-Road Comfort: While designed for off-road performance, the T/A KO still offers a comfortable and relatively quiet ride on highways. The tyre’s reinforced tread and sidewall construction reduce road noise and vibrations, allowing for a smooth and controlled ride on paved roads.
8. Improved Steering Response: The robust construction and aggressive tread design improve steering response, offering better handling and control when navigating tough off-road paths or winding highways. The tyre’s design helps maintain vehicle stability, particularly when driving at higher speeds or over uneven terrain.
