BFGoodrich's KO3 All-Terrain Lands for the JL Wrangler, 2018–2026

The replacement for BFG's long-running KO2 is now cataloged for Jeep Wrangler JL model years 2018 through 2026, and that fitment window is the only machine it's confirmed for here.

What verifiers say

If you own a JL Wrangler built between 2018 and 2026, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 is now available as a fitment for your Jeep. That is the compatibility we can confirm from the data in front of us. If you're running an earlier JK, a Gladiator, or anything else, don't assume it carries over — fitment is specific to the JL across those model years, and a size that bolts up to a 2020 is not automatically correct for a different platform.

The KO3 is the successor to the KO2, which spent roughly a decade as the default all-terrain for people who wanted one tire that could handle a weekday commute and a weekend trail. The brief for an all-terrain hasn't changed: enough tread void to clear mud and bite loose dirt, enough on-road manners and tread life to live with daily, and a sidewall tough enough to survive rocks. If you spend most of your miles on pavement and gravel with occasional dirt, that's the category you're shopping. If you live in deep mud or sand, a dedicated mud-terrain or paddle tire is a different tool.

What this brief will not do is quote you a load rating, a recommended inflation pressure, or a load range for any given size. Those numbers belong to the tire's spec sheet and, for inflation, to the placard on your door jamb and your Jeep's service manual. Guessing a pressure or assuming a load rating is how people end up with a tire that overheats, wears unevenly, or fails under load — the consequences land on the sidewall at highway speed, so it's not a corner to cut. Read the figure printed on the tire you actually buy and the placard on your actual Jeep.

A few practical notes if you're ordering. Confirm the exact size against your Jeep before you buy, especially if you're running a lift or oversized wheels — fitment to the JL platform does not mean every size clears every trim or suspension setup. If you're going up in diameter, factor in whether your speedometer calibration and gearing can live with it. And when the new tires go on, have them balanced and the alignment checked; a fresh all-terrain on a worn alignment will chew through its tread advantage fast.

For the JL crowd, the short version: the tire you've probably been waiting to replace your KO2 with is now listed for your Jeep. Match the size to your build, read the spec sheet for the numbers, and don't extrapolate this fitment to any other machine.
