BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain T/A® KM2
The Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 has a footprint
made to dominate almost anything in its path. Linear flex
zones allow the tire to wrap around obstacles for
unnatural amounts of traction. Smart design gives it
excellent mud-clearing ability and low road noise. The
Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 features a 3-ply TriGuard carcass with
a single-strand bead for smoother ride and uniformity.
BFGoodrich® Tires Proves Bigger is
Better with the Release of the New Mud-Terrain™ T/A® KM2
Tire - GREENVILLE, S.C.
The BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain™ T/A® KM2 tire can take
anything and throw it right back. Designed from the mud
up, it is built to eclipse any obstacle - and any other
tire - on the trail. BFGoodrich Tires’ brain trust of
engineers and designers improved the performance and
styling of the previous BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/AKM tire
to give serious off-roaders the edge with a stronger, more
capable tire than anything seen before. After all, when
the pavement ends, there is no such thing as an unfair
advantage. The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/AKM2 will
ultimately be available in the largest number of sizes and
fitments over the course of the next two years and will go
on sale today.
With more off-roaders going big these days in their choice
of trucks, lift kits and tire sizes, BFGoodrich Tires has
the solution for nearly every application. The BFGoodrich
Mud-Terrain T/AKM2 tire will ultimately be available in 34
sizes, ranging from LT215/75R15 to 42x14.50R20 to satisfy
today’s core off-road enthusiasts. Introductory sizes
available in September 2007 will include 16 sizes focusing
on larger rim and overall tire diameters.
“One look at its ‘Krawler-like’ tread and you can tell the
BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/AKM2 isn’t merely an update of a
previous tire. It’s a completely different animal,” said
Joe Mazur, light-truck category manager for BFGoodrich
Tires. “However, off the trail, the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain
T/AKM2 has surprisingly good manners, which makes it one
beast that’s easy to live with.”
Inspired by the BFGoodrich Tires Krawler™ T/A® KX which is
the most successful tire in rock-crawling history,
BFGoodrich Tires has incorporated Krawler TEK® into the
BFGoodrich Tires Mud-Terrain T/AKM2 TriGard® sidewall.
Krawler TEK consists of three components that dramatically
improve the sidewall strength as compared to the
BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/AKM tire. These three components
consist of: aggressive sidewall lugs, cut- & chip-
resistant sidewall compounds and sidewall cords that are
up to 33 percent stronger than the previous Mud-Terrain T/AKM
tire. These advancements allow for more bite and sidewall
protection along with increased strength and resistance to
bruising caused by rocks and rough trails.
Sporting the same attractive raised white lettering on the
sidewall as its predecessor, the Mud-Terrain T/AKM2
commands respect in all environments. Additionally, the
Mud-Terrain T/AKM2 boasts exceptional even wear
characteristics and outstanding grip due to its Krawler-inspired
tread design and a more Linear Flex-Zone across the face
of the tread. The result is a tire with an aggressive look
and appeal partnered with unbelievable traction either
off-road or around town.
Using motorsports as a proving ground for more than 30
years, BFGoodrich® Tires is involved in every type of
racing, including oval, sports car, drifting, drag,
desert, dirt, rally (Dakar and WRC) and extreme rock
crawling. BFGoodrich Tires combines technological
expertise with vast motorsports experience, delivering a
high-performance tire for every type of vehicle.
