LE PUSIMOS BF GOODRICH KO3 A LA HILUX GT 😎 Pero No Se Si Se Las Voy a Dejar 🤷🏼‍♂️

Today in this video, I'm sharing my impressions of the BFGoodrich KO3 in terms of feel, weight, and stiffness, which I could immediately appreciate as soon as I started handling them. But first, let me tell you something I always do with tires: I never look at reviews or technical information that could influence my own judgment and allow me to evaluate the product with my own criteria. This practice has helped me tremendously to see what I truly think, without being influenced by external information. The first thing I usually do when I get a new tire is: 1) Feel the weight - I see how easy it is to handle and compare its weight to other tires of the same size that I've had to carry. Remember that when I started GT Grip Tires, I only sold tires (Grip Tires means tires with grip), especially Michelin and BFGoodrich, and to a lesser extent, Goodyear, Kumho, Hankook, and others. 2) Feeling the Compound - By running my whole hand over the tire and then just my fingertips, I feel how "sticky" the tire compound is. This gives you an idea of ​​the grip that the compound provides. It's worth clarifying that grip isn't solely determined by the compound, but also by the tread pattern and hardness. 3) Tread Hardness Test - What I do—and people who see me say "this guy's crazy"—is pinch the sidewalls and tread blocks, and gently press my fingernail into them, feeling how well they conform to pressure and crunch. The "sticky" sensation I mentioned in the previous point usually coincides with the "conforming" feeling I get when I press my fingernail in or pinch the tread blocks and sidewalls. 4) Structural Hardness Test of the Tire Casing - I apply pressure to the top of the tire to see how it yields, assessing whether it is rigid or flexible. I also apply pressure to the bead and tread to see how flexible or rigid the sidewall is. Having said that, here's what I felt when comparing it to the Ko2: Point 1 - Lighter tire, which is good considering the effort the vehicle will have to exert to move it. Point 2 - Stickier with good grip, ideal for gravel and asphalt. Point 3 - Softer tread and sidewall, which means it takes longer for micro-cuts to develop on gravel, but the knobs and sidewall can be damaged more easily when skidding on loose rocks or stones. Point 4 - More flexible sidewall. This means that when the pressure is reduced, it won't be as difficult to bulge out as the Ko2 was, but we need to see how this flexibility affects preventing tire blowouts. Very stiff tires are easy to come off the rim, very flexible tires are also easy to come off the rim, and tires of intermediate stiffness are more difficult to come off the rim. The BFGoodrich Ko3 feels somewhere between intermediate and very flexible, but it's possible that its bead ring structure compensates for this and prevents the tire from coming off the rim. With nothing more to add, I'll read your comments.
