BF Goodrich seems to have silently launched the new generation of their Off Road / All Terrain KO series in the form of the KO3, here are some pictures;

Tread pattern remains largely unchanged;

As far as I know, it is still not publicly available for sale anywhere in the world. They may officially launch it sometime in Q2 FY24. But have to say that I quite like the new lug design and the reduced gaps, viz-a-viz more tyre contact to the road.
KO2 are some great rubber, but I hope they've addressed some of the issues with this updated product. Some parts of the lugs on the KO2s were prone to breaking off, hope they've fixed that. Also, I hope BFG has improved the traction in wet conditions with this new iteration.

KO3's are being offered as OE on some American vehicles and as per my research these are currently available only in 2 sizes: 285/70 R17 & 275/65 R20.

I think this is a back to back shot of K02 and K03 for those interested in the pattern changes.

BFG dealers in NCR are stating that 265/60R18 KO2 is not being imported anymore and all of them are out of stock. They only have 285/60/R18 available in stock and that is significantly heavier as well as expensive.

Anyone here got a set of BFG KO2 265/60/R18s recently? Some leads on the dealer would immensely help !
