You can take this tire on wild adventures, and the results will not disappoint you. KO2 does not have to struggle much while propagating through rocky terrains.
This could cause damage and make the tire vulnerable to stone drilling as its stone ejection feature is not dominant enough. One thing to remember while exposing this tire to rocky terrains is that it has narrow spacing between its ribs along with comparatively lesser grooves due to which small stones could enter and get stuck between them.

Wrangler SR-A is designed to give satisfactory performance in mild rocky terrains as it has provided a good contact patch to maintain its grip on the rough road.

This has to do with it’s full depth sipes, which act as biters here, although they are not so efficient on wet asphalts. What’s really impressive for KO2 is how well it shows icy roads performance. The tire does not offer enough biters to trap the snow and make snow to snow contact (which is better for this terrain). So The Goodyear Wrangler SRA where it’s considered a season tire, would not be able to outperform KO2. In fact, its almost 25% better than average all season tire. The tire is rated with severe snow symbol, the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake rating, which is an acceleration test, showing the tires capability to accelerated better than any all season tire. And in case of these two, it’s not surprising that the BF Goodrich KO2 is dominating. So both of these tires lack the self cleaning abilities, but with aggressive traction shoulders, the KO2 would take a lead here. It’s interlocking design is very good at capturing the mud. The BF Goodrich KO2 would be slightly better with muddy swamps, but don’t expect too much from the tire either. This tire can be used in mild rough areas, but it is recommended not to expose them to deep mud terrains it could get stuck and cause problems. The relatively narrow grooves cannot clear all the soft mud from the tire, which compromises the handling and grip of the vehicle. The closely spaced tread blocks cannot handle extreme mud loads and may fill up with soft mud and dirt, leading to skidding of tires. That’s why mud terrain tires have that.īut like any other All terrain, the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A has to struggle a bit if we talk about navigation through deep mud terrains due to its narrow grooves. Off-Road Mud Tractionįor off-road performance, tires with broader spacing and high void ratio give a better performance regarding stability and handling. The tire has a great lateral traction influence. One thing you would feel with KO2 is cornering. The BF Goodrich KO2 performs decently on paved roads, but due to a relatively higher void ratio, the tire lacks a bit in maintaining maximum grip with the road while going at high speeds.īut the stiffer compound really helps the tire here, and with more biting edges, there is only a small difference in the performance. The wet traction of SR-A is also satisfactory as the efficient zig-zag sipes consistently wipe away the water from the tread to maintain the mobility of the tire in wet areas. The void ratio in this tire is relatively low, which helps to attain maximum grip with the surface, therefore, reducing the braking distance. The tread pattern of Wrangler SR-A makes it dominate on highways as its longitudinal tread design helps it to offer more contact patch and increase grip with the road. KO2 Wrangler SRA Average Weight 55.3 lbs 37.8 lbs Average Tread Depth 15/32″ 12.3/32″ Sidewall Construction 3 ply 2 ply On-Road Tire Performance:Ī tire with more contact patch will be more reliable and provide more grip and stability. It’s tread depth is seen more here, so it’s capable of letting more volume of off road dirt out form its grooves. The BF Goodrich KO2 is more aggressive overall by looks and design, the tire also offers 3 ply inner construction and that’s why it’s also heavier. Overall, the tire has all the features required for off-roading. The tire has impressive stone ejectors, which favors it in rough areas. The spacing between the shoulders is comparatively high. The tire has massive shoulder and bold sidewall lugs for lateral stability and an overall aggressive look. This innovative design significantly increases the void ratio of the tire. Instead, it consists of small worm-like blocks spread irregularly over the entire tread. Unlike other tires, KO2 does not have a traditional tread design. The tread has an overall aggressive look, with a vast number of tread blocks covering the entire body of the tire. Speaking of beasts, Toyo AT3 and Goodyear DuraTrac are not any less) Goodrich KO2 is a beast for off-road terrains as its design is specifically built to overcome rough surfaces and withstand extreme conditions.
