BFGoodrich Tires Canada

The All Terrain T/A KO2 was the benchmark Canadian all terrain tire for over a decade — the KO3 is its direct replacement and successor. BFGoodrich has updated the KO3 with evolved CoreGard™ sidewall technology for improved puncture resistance, a refined Terrain Attack™ tread pattern with enhanced serrated shoulders and Mud Phobic bars for better self cleaning in snow and mud, and maintained the 3PMSF severe snow rating that made the KO2 the go to year round all terrain for Ontario and Quebec truck owners. The KO3 also covers a broader size range than the KO2, including more fitments for newer large diameter truck wheel packages. If you are currently running KO2 tires and replacing them, the KO3 is the natural upgrade. KO2 tires remain available in some sizes while stock lasts.

Both the All Terrain T/A KO3 and the Trail Terrain T/A carry the 3PMSF severe snow rating and are suitable for year round Ontario and Quebec driving on one set of tires. The KO3 is a truck first all terrain tire with CoreGard sidewall armor, an aggressive Terrain Attack tread and LT sizing for heavy duty applications — it is the correct choice when genuine off road capability, sidewall toughness and towing stability are the priority. The Trail Terrain T/A is tuned more toward crossovers and lighter duty SUVs, with a design that prioritizes a quieter, more comfortable on road experience alongside the 3PMSF all weather rating and a 95,000 kilometer treadwear warranty. If you drive a full size pickup and access rough terrain, start with the KO3. If you drive a crossover or lighter SUV and want all weather confidence with less road noise and a longer warranty, the Trail Terrain T/A is the better match.

Yes. BFGoodrich is a wholly owned brand of Michelin, the same parent company as Michelin tires and Uniroyal. The three brands operate with distinct identities and model families — Michelin is positioned as the premium touring and performance benchmark, Uniroyal as the value rain focused brand, and BFGoodrich as the performance and off road heritage brand with deep roots in truck, all terrain and motorsport applications. As a Michelin company, BFGoodrich benefits from shared compound research, manufacturing standards and testing programmes, which is part of why the KO and KM families consistently rank at or near the top of independent all terrain and mud terrain testing in North America.

No — the KM3 is an all season mud terrain tire with an M+S rating, but it does not carry the 3PMSF severe snow certification. In Quebec, where winter tires are legally required from December 1 to March 15, the KM3 does not qualify as a compliant winter tire. In Ontario, running a KM3 through genuine winter conditions — ice, packed snow and temperatures well below 0°C — is possible but the tire is not engineered for those conditions as a primary function. If you want to run a single set year round on a truck or Jeep with off road capability, the All Terrain T/A KO3 (3PMSF rated) is the correct choice. If maximum mud and rock traction is the priority and you are prepared to swap to a dedicated winter tire for the cold season, the KM3 is the correct off road choice for three season use.

For ¾ ton and 1 ton pickups that tow, haul heavy loads or operate on construction sites and severe duty surfaces, the HD Terrain T/A KT is the correct BFGoodrich choice — not the All Terrain T/A KO3. The KT carries a chip and tear resistant compound specifically tested in punishing environments, Mud Phobic bars for self cleaning, and a reinforced casing designed for the sustained load and heat cycles that heavy towing generates. The KO3 is an excellent tire for light trucks and SUVs, but its compound and construction are not optimized for the continuous heavy load demands that a ¾ ton or 1 ton working truck places on a tire. Confirm the correct load range (typically E for ¾ ton and 1 ton applications) before ordering the KT.

Both are UHP all season tires with directional or asymmetric tread designs, silica enriched compounds, and all season credentials for performance car daily driving. The Continental DWS 06 Plus uses SportPlus technology with visual wear indicators (D, W, S) that signal when dry, wet and snow capability are diminishing — a practical feature for Ontario and Quebec drivers who want to monitor capability over the tire’s life. The BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus draws on road racing heritage with its UltiGrip compound and g-Control sidewall inserts for steering precision, and comes with a 60,000 kilometer treadwear warranty. Both compete in the same price range. If performance precision and steering feel are the primary filter, the g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus is the stronger case. If the DWS wear indicators and a slightly stronger all weather credential are the priority, the Continental is the better choice.

Use our tire fitment tool on the homepage or any shop page. Alternatively, read the size on your current tire sidewall (for example, 265/70R17 or LT275/70R18) or check the vehicle door placard, then search XYZTires.com by width, profile and diameter. After finding matching BFGoodrich results, confirm the load index, speed rating and XL or LT designation before ordering. For LT-sized BFGoodrich truck tires, also confirm the load range (C, D or E) for towing and payload compliance.

XYZTires.com offers fast free shipping across Ontario and Quebec on all tire orders, including BFGoodrich LT and oversized truck sizes. Inventory changes with seasonal demand — the brand and size filters are the best way to confirm current BFGoodrich availability and pricing, particularly on high demand models like the All Terrain T/A KO3 heading into spring and fall changeover seasons.
