I'm running 265-75-16's KO2's on Millie and it's nothing to do with braking, when it's greasy / wet i take it steady and when going around a left / right corner the front will under / over steer and the rear will just break out, all of this will happen without any warning Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I will look to see what markings there are on the tyres tomorrow Thumbs Up Clayton.

Sizes have been released

No 235/85 R16 which is sort of surprising and not at the same time. I guess there are fewer and fewer vehicles using this size. A bit rubbish for those of us who like this standard size. 265/75 will have to do.

Well not at all surprising really. Like you a bit surprised about the lack of 235/85/16 but given the fascination with Big 'n Bouncy rubber I really shouldn't be I suppose.

I doubt that is the full list and might only be for a first release for the USA...

If you look on the main BFG site now, it lists 235/85R16 and 235/70R16 as "new" for the KM3...

So chances are other sizes will become available. Also the BFG sites don't list all sizes as you can buy lots of smaller sizes in the UK/EU and other parts of the such as a 205/80R16 that aren't listed.

Still looks like limited sizes available. BFG will want to sell most of the Ko2's before making the Ko3 mass available. The UK is also likely one of their smaller markets.

They’re available in 265/75R16 on some uk websites now. Interesting fact, according to the EU tyre label they have a worse wet grip rating (C vs B) than the outgoing KO2.

I found the KO2’s were ok-ish in the wet when new but they were dual compound and as they wore down the harder rubber became exposed and the wet grip fell away noticeably.
