Rolling resistance is a fundamental characteristic of tire-pavement interaction, but too much of it results in tire being less fuel efficient.Īnd affecting that include factors like the tire’s weight, and tread structure/composition. (You can check your tire’s tread depth with a penny). Moreover, it also features tread depth up to 16/32″ (whereas KO2 gives 15/32″), so it also takes more “time” to wear down to 2/32″ of legal limit. And so even though it’s tread compound is softer, it does not wear too fast. The tire yields smaller rolling resistance values. The longevity of a tire’s tread is impacted by more than just rolling resistance, as there are two things here.Īnd considering both it can be seen, why Bridgestone Revo 3 provides a better tread life. Whereas, on Dueler AT Revo 3, you get only 2 ply sidewalls and a single cap ply on nylon on the top, just underneath the rubber skin.įor Your Info: In my list of top all-terrain tires, the BFG KO2 is ranked for it’s epic durability. The tire offers 3 ply polyester + 2 steel belts + 2 spirally wound nylon cap plies. So it makes sense why with more of these “plies”, the BF Goodrich KO2 gets to be more durable. To address this requirement, they are given with strong inner plies. To operate effectively in harsh off-road environments, off-road tires must be designed with durability in mind. On the other side, the BF Goodrich KO2 offers a more rugged design, where its shoulder blocks are clearly more combative. And here the shoulder lugs have a bigger contribution, as they make a continuous rib not allowing particles to leave out laterally. Though with smaller lateral tread voids, the sideways evacuation is compromised still. Moreover, also make 3 longitudinal grooves (with inner most having curves to it) providing dirt and water evacuation. Whereas their wider structure and consistent design (as all lugs are joined up with each other), account for on-road stability and traction.

They have a lot of biters in the form of saw toothed edges, full depth sipes, chamfered sides, and in groove notches providing off-road grip. These lugs are designed to provide both on and off-road traction. This tire basically offers you with 4 rib design where the inner ones are equipped with chunkier lugs. Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 may not be 3PMSFR, but it’s numerous biters still provide ample ice traction.
