BFGoodrich tyres OE on re-engineered Toyota Hilux AT35

Toyota and authorised converter Arctic Trucks have revealed their newest off-roader, the Hilux AT35, will be fitted with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tyres as original equipment.

A professionally re-engineered high mobility vehicle that has been specially developed to handle the most challenging landscapes with ease, the Toyota Hilux Arctic Trucks AT35 will be fitted with LT315/70 R17 All-Terrain tyres as standard.

The tread design is said by the manufacturer to increase all-terrain traction and on-road and off-road mileage in all conditions, including snow, mud and rock.

Dependent on vehicle application, customers also have the option to fit BFGoodrich KM3 Mud-Terrain tyres, and an on-board inflation/deflation kit can be installed as an option, with a 12V performance compressor mounted in the engine bay. The KM3 tyres are designed with large tread blocks for greater traction on mud, providing strong grip from any approach angle, resulting in a more aggressive off-road tyre.

Commenting, Carrim Bundhun, project and commercial development lead at Arctic Trucks UK, says: “The owners and operators of our vehicles range from builders and farmers to utility companies, rescue teams and beyond, all working in some of the most aggressive conditions, so we needed a tyre partner that would deliver enhanced performance, control, and mobility over a range of challenging terrains.

“We have previously fitted BFGoodrich tyres on both personal and development vehicles, and they’ve always delivered, whatever the conditions. For the Hilux AT35, they completely transform the vehicle and push the boundaries of what it can do. The larger tyre variation gives our customers a smoother and faster ride over rough surfaces, combined with better traction in difficult conditions.”
