The BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO3 (BFG KO3), the latest evolution of BFGoodrich’s legendary KO tyre line, is a rugged all-terrain tyre designed to handle a wide variety of conditions.

This is especially true for Fiji’s unique environment and what every four-wheel-drive driver faces on the daily and why fitting a set of BFG KO3s will be the perfect match for your vehicle.

Durability on rough terrain

Fiji’s terrain ranges from rocky back roads and mountainous tracks of the Namosi highlands to muddy and gravel-covered access routes from the scenic Levuka township to rural areas on Koro Island and Savusavu.

The reinforced sidewall and improved tyre compound provide excellent resistance to cuts, punctures, and bruises from rocks or debris often found on gravel roads, and in those infamous Fiji potholes!

Wet weather and mud performance

Fiji experiences heavy tropical rains, epecially during Fiji’s cooler months and cyclone season (Nov–Apr), which creates slick roads, muddy rural tracks, and flash flooding.

With its aggressive tread pattern with wider, deeper grooves, KO3 will enhance traction and grip in wet, slippery, or muddy conditions — ideal for crossing creeks or traveling through inland villages.

Adaptability across surfaces

From tarmac around Suva and Nadi to coral coast tracks and sand near the beach — drivers in Fiji often encounter mixed surfaces.

With its All-terrain design for both on- and off-road comfort, KO3 will provide a smooth ride on sealed roads but capable of handling beach access paths, cane fields, or gravel backroads without needing to switch tyres.

Longevity and low maintenance

We know that drivers are looking for value long-lasting, low-maintenance options when it comes to tyres and as we all know, most of the time tyres are a grudge purchase.

With KO3’s longer tread life and chip-resistant compound, this will mean for you fewer replacements over time, less chance of sidewall damage, and greater value — especially for remote area where your tyre shops and options may be limited.

Off-grid and utility performance

Many in Fiji use four-wheel-drives for farming, tourism, construction, or reaching remote villages.

The KO3 has strong off-road traction and load-carrying capability. It will handle the demands of rural work vehicles, touring trucks, or off-grid adventures, whether it’s hauling produce or exploring interior highlands.

It’s especially suited to anyone in Fiji who drives a 4×4, SUV, or utility vehicle and needs a tyre that can handle both city life and village tracks without compromise.
