I bought these not for off road (although I'm glad to have that option)... I bought them as a snow tire and they are AWESOME. Drove from Vermont to Syracuse, NY in an ICE storm, straight through the Adirondacks and never slipped once. I live outside NYC but spend a lot of time in Vermont and haven't used 4 wheel drive up there yet and you know what this winter has been like. My Suburban used to be AWFUL in snow, now it is a beast. You can not make these tires slip slide or fail in any way. Highly recommend. Thanks BF Goodrich!

I live in Buffalo NY, one of the snowiest, iciest and whiteout-est places in the country. For many, many years I have used KO2’s for my winter tires. Dont believe the lies. There are two types of tires. Spring-summer-fall tires and WINTER tires. The winter tires must have the mountain with snowflake symbol cast into the sidewall. If it aint there it aint a winter tire. At least it wont save your life in a snowstorm. Dont cheap out. The guy in the ditch, cheaped out. Next, you want thinner tires to cut through the snow. Remember those old wooden sleds with the two metal rails that always sucked because they cut through the snow down to the grass and stopped dead? Thats what you want in a snow tire. Not a wide tire like a snowshoe. You need to contact the pavement to stay on the road. I use 265-65R18 on my Sierra’s and I always blow past the unprepared, wide tired or all season guys on the thruway and a lot of them are 4WD. These KO2’s are a softer grippy compound with a strong sidewall to grip the curves in the road and keep you square in your lane. You will not believe the control you have. Change these out to your summer tires after the snow is gone. You will burn them up on dry pavement. That saves you money in the long run. I get at least 6 winters out of mine. They have some road noise. A hum to remind you you are protected during the winter and a hum to remind you to change them out in the spring. It is not an annoying hum if you realize they are there protecting you. Tires and brakes are the most important things in your life while you are in your vehicle. Buy the best for both. Start with KO2’s. You will thank this review.

I replaced my old T/A KO tires with the new KO2 after only 25k miles on my F150. The old tires rode about average for an A/T tire and went with the new KO2 after hearing & reading great reviews. I could not be happier with the smooth/quiet ride that I get on the road and the off-road performance is every bit as good as the old KO's. I've only had them for a few thousand miles so I can't speak about wear yet or snow but would definitely recommend these for anyone looking for an A/T tire that rides smooth without the hum of normal off-road tires.

I have owned 2 Rubicons, one JKU and one JLU, over the past 14 years and never ran any other tire than these tires (in 32 and 35 inch). I have never suffered a puncture or any sidewall damage over 200,000 miles. Why would I ever risk buying another tire?

I bought a used Ford Escape 2 years ago with these tires already on it. I've put 32,000 miles on it ( I drive over 50 miles each day to work). The backs ones still look like new. The front have some wear on them which is my fault for not getting an alignment. They were very good in the snow both winters. I get so many compliments on them. I am definitely planning to buy these when they need replaced.

I bought this tires for my 2012 F350 4x4 back in May of 2018. I have 36000 miles on them and I'm already having to get new tires. I drive mostly on the paved roads. Every now and then I have to put my truck in 4 wheel drive but it's rare. I rotate my tires every time I change my oil every 6500 miles. I will not buy BF Goodrich tires again.

My son highly recommended these tires to me because of his history with them on his Isuzu Trooper. I put them on my Jeep Cherokee Trail-Rated Trailhawk 6 years ago. 23,000 miles on them now and I could not be more pleased with them! The tread is still almost like new. At least 10,000 of those miles have been off-pavement, and probably 2,500 miles on rough, rocky, sometimes steep backroads and trails, as I am an enthusiastic off-roader living in a central Idaho town surrounded by mountains. The traction is awesome in snow and mud, and the tougher sidewalls have been a real boon over sharp rocky trails. I have NEVER yet had a single flat!! They are also completely quiet and smooth on-highway for me. I thoroughly and enthusiastically endorse these tires! I will certainly buy them again if this set ever wears out, lol.

These were the stock tires on my 2019 4runner (SR5 Premium w TRD t, and multiple auto shops have expressed how they can't believe these are the original tires on the car. They still have a lot of life left in them, but I am deciding to proactively replace them at 90k. I am replacing them with the exact same tire. They handle Tahoe snow extremely well. Highly recommend!

Bought KO2’s in 2015 and have put 40000 miles on them. They have been across the country a few times now both on highway and gravel roads. I have taken them OFF ROAD on super rocky trails. Beat them up and still have enough tread to get me through the next year. no wear problems at all. Plus they look aggressive.

Good grip starting on inclines at stop lights. Maintains as good or better contact with road was someone could expect in deep water of 6-12" Reasonable allowance for road noise when on a jeep. It's not a highway specific tire nor a mud tire. Good all-around. If after specific use, go with highway tire or go mud tire. Like the grip of these on wet roads better than the slightly more mud tire from another major brand that came with the Jeep Wrangler in 2002.
