"THE BAJA CHALLENGE CLASS TEAM
OF BUD BRUTSMAN, CELEBRATING
THIRD PLACE AT THE 2014 SCORE BAJA
1000 ON KO2 TIRES."
plagues many off-road racers.
Other features include side
biter lugs which protrude from
the sidewall's rubber blocks and
provide increased traction in mud,
snow and rocks. This modification
was designed to help the KO2
perform extremely well in aired-
down driving situations. Raised
bars in the shoulder tread area
are perfect for releasing caked
and compacted mud that can kill
traction in muddy and soft soil
conditions. The tire also features
a serrated shoulder design with
staggered shoulder blocks that
provide optimal maneuverability
in soft soil and deep snow
conditions. The locking 3-D
active sipe technology provides
additional biting edges for
considerably better grip in snow
conditions. More biting edges
equal more opportunities for
traction. Plus, the aggressive
all-terrain traction exceeds the
Rubber Manufacturer Association
(RMA) Severe Snow Traction
performance requirements.
While the KO2 has a great
racing heritage, keep in mind
these tires are also available for
everyone from the hardcore off-
road enthusiast, to the soccer
mom wanting confidence
driving her SUV over snow and
mud. With a greater off-road
ability the KO2 doesn't sacrifice
a smooth ride, braking or fuel
economy, making it a great tire
for everyday use and aggressive
enough to handle any hard
road you can drive over. SJ
