![]() So KO2 provides better puncture resistance as well. This type of terrain, where the tires need to be tough, the BFGoodrcih again provides you with a stronger 3 ply polyester casing, providing more durable sidewalls compared to Revo 3 (2 ply). That’s why the tire is also branded with 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake rating unlike the Revo 3. Here, although the Revo 3 has an advantage of being a skinnier tire (as they do better), the tire still can not perform better here with it’s bigger ribs.īasically, when it comes to snowy terrains, snow to snow contact is better than rubber to snow contact, so here the BF Goodrich with its web of grooves (with wider tread voids), which trap in the snow, make better snow to snow contact. The tire with connectors in between all it’s blocks also don’t allow enough spacing for mud to pass through. The Revo 3 does not offer prominent serrated shoulder blocks and it’s sidewalls lugs are not thick enough. On mud, although the interlocking pattern of the BFG KO2 is not good at self cleaning, the tire still performs better here, as it provides you with mud scoops on the shoulder blocks and bulkier sidewall lugs, which let’s the tire escape by digging it out. The tire does not offer as much siping, and the harder compound of the tire, don’t make them flexible enough to outperform it’s competitor in wet handling and braking performance.īut with wider grooves, the tire does provide better hydroplaning as water can easily pass through the web of tread voids the tire makes. The BFGoodrich KO2 on the other side, although is good on dry roads, lacks behind on wet (in comparison). The tire also provides with more siping in comparison, and as the softer rubber of the tire give these sipes more flexibility, they are able to suck the water beneath them very efficiently, providing the tire with better wet traction as well. The softer material of the tire also remains stable as all blocks have reinforced foundations underneath (in the form of continuous rib in the central blocks and connectors between the blocks on shoulders). The tire simply provides a better rubber to road contact with it’s wider block valleys.īesides providing multiple biting edges, which keep the rubber-road friction in tact, the tire also features a softer compound which simply sticks better on pavements. The Bridgestone Revo 3 is better suited for highways.
