What are BF Goodrich KO2 tyres?
These tyres are all-terrain 10 ply tyres predominantly designed for off-road driving over rugged territory. These tyres are much stiffer than normal road tyres so that they can take the punishment that off-road driving dishes out.
Are BF Goodrich KO2 tyres good on the road?
Surprisingly, these heavy-duty tyres do perform quite well on the road. They have excellent traction whether driving on wet or dry roads.
What you will notice though is that you’ll experience a bumpier ride than if you’re using standard road tyres. You’ll also be more acutely aware of potholes and other bumps in the road.
The other thing you’ll notice is that your tyres will be a little louder than standard road tyres. Be ready for the sound of a low audible hum when you fit these tyres onto your vehicle.
But don’t worry, the noise is not so bad that you have to turn up the radio to drown out your tyres.
What does the 285/70R17 actually mean?
Have you ever wondered what the numbers stamped on your tyres actually mean? Let's break these numbers down into their individual components.
- 285 refers to the width of the tyre in millimetres.
- 70 refers to the aspect ratio of the tyre which, in this case, is 70%. To explain this more clearly, it means that the sidewall height of the tyre is 70% of the width of the tyre.
- R refers to the construction of the tyre. In this case, it’s a radial tyre.
- 17 is the size in inches of the rim that the tyre will fit.
So, a 265/70R17 tyre has a width of 265 millimetres, an aspect ratio of 70%, is a radial tyre and is designed to fit 17 inch rims.
