These tires also have the following design features:īridgestone Revo 3 tires are better suited for highway driving. With its wider block valleys, the tire simply provides a better rubber-to-road contact.įurthermore, the tire features multiple biting edges, which keep the rubber-road friction intact, as well as a softer compound that simply sticks better to pavements.Īs all blocks have reinforced foundations underneath (in the form of continuous ribs in the central blocks and connectors between the blocks on the shoulders), the softer material of the tire also remains stable.Īs the softer rubber of the tire provides more flexibility, the sipes on the tire are also able to suck up water more efficiently, improving the tire’s wet traction as well. On the other hand, the BFGoodrich KO2 is good on dry roads, but falls short on wet ones (in comparison). There is less siping on this tire, and it is not flexible enough to outperform its competitor in wet weather handling and braking. In mud, the BFG KO2 performs better in spite of its interlocking pattern that doesn’t self-clean, as its shoulder blocks have mud scoops and the sidewall lugs allow the tire to get out by digging.Ĭan you tell me how things are on off-road? Off-road in Mud: With wider grooves, the tire provides better hydroplaning because water can easily pass through the web of tread voids it makes. Serrated shoulder blocks are not prominent on the Revo 3 and the sidewall lugs are not thick enough. There is also not enough space for mud to pass through a tire with connectors between all its blocks. With its larger ribs, the Revo 3 still cannot outperform the Revo 3, despite it being a skinnier tire (which does better).Ī BF Goodrich tire with its web of grooves (with wider tread voids), which trap in the snow, makes better snow to snow contact on snowy terrains. The tire is also branded with the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake rating, unlike the Revo 3. With this type of terrain, BFGoodrich provides you with a stronger 3 ply polyester casing, providing a more durable sidewall than Revo 3.Īs a result, KO2 is also more puncture resistant. With its interlocking design, the tire provides better lateral and longitudinal traction and better grip on rocks. The deep sipes that separate the blocks further can also bite into the rocky surface on a micro level. However, due to its less aggressive shoulder blocks, the Bridgestone Revo 3 cannot provide as much lateral traction.
