Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - 33X12.50R20/E 114S Tire forPerfect tire for my Michigan Ram 1500
Have had these tires on for 3 months now. Driven through standing water and 12" of snow here in Michigan. These tires go through everything! I don't drive too fast, but took these tires up to 85 mph just to test, without any issues. I feel more road at low speeds with a slight increase in noise. And so far, that's the only "down side" which I consider negligible. Above 30 mph they feel like, sound like any other quality highway tire. Love the way they look! Can't wait for a 18" snow dump just so I can go drive around again.
Thanks for sharing, Mike!
Awesome Tires
Yes I'm from Minnesota and all I got to say is impressive. I only have 2 285/75 r16 on the rear of my 1999 silverado 4wd and through ice and snow it is impressive. It's better then my Geolander ats-2. I try swinging the rear end of my truck loose and it just so hard for it to break traction and spin around.....this is on packed snow and ice. On snow it's like driving on pavement. On regular street it feels as normal as any tire base on my opinion. All I got to say is awesome BFGOODRICH you guys did an excellent job on this one.....it's going to be hard to come up with something better now. I also love the aggressive look of these tires. If your still wondering if you should buy this....... just get it.... I won't be wasting my time on here writing a review if I didn't love this tire that much.
So far so good
I purchased a set of these tires for my 18 F150 a few months ago and have about 7000 miles on them. Spring and summer performance was good. Road noise is at a minimum. I just got the chance to try them in the snow, about 8 inches, they performed very well. So far I'm happy with these tires.
So glad to hear of your great experience with All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires.
Amazing
I'm running 37x12.50R17's ATKO2 on a 2005 Jeep Rubicon. I daily drive it, wheel it in the rocks when I can. These tires perform better on wet roads vs a KM2 (slippage), are significantly quieter, and have worn very well over the past 2 years. I am a 25 year + BFG mud terrain guy; that tire was the only thing I would ever consider installing on any of my Jeeps. After running these tires, I seriously doubt if I will ever go back to a mud terrain. Sorry, KM2; I still love you, but these tires are flat out better for my style driving.
Not the same as the old All Terain T/A's
I have been buying BF Goodrich TA All Terrain tires for all of my vehicles for as long as I can remember. From an old 1996 Toyota T100 , 2006 Chevy Tahoe, and most recently my 1995 Ford F350. I can't say I'd every buy them again after the new model composition was released. The tires on my F350 are less than one year old and completely bald. ZERO tread life left for over $1000 worth of tires! I've towed a trailer twice and other than that the miles on them are unloaded, normal driving conditions. I will not buy BF Goodrich tires again, please note all of the other reviews pointing out the new short life expectancy of these tires! They kept the price of the old tires and changed to some horrible rubber.
Best off-road tire I've ever had!
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.
Excellent longevity and ride, handling etc.
These tires have been on my 2009 JKUR for just shy of 8 years, nearly 38,000 miles, and the tread still looks new. I live in the northernmost Sierra Nevada mountains, get a lot of rain, a little bit of snow, and 105-110°+ in the summers. Aside from around town and a whole bunch of logging and forest roads, I'm taking it on mini camping trips to the desert, to the Klamath mountains, and I camped my way up Highway 1 from Eureka to the Olympic peninsula. I've also driven it to Blaine Washington and back a few times on the highway. Also a lot of highway driving down to the southern part of the Central Coast of California and both on and off-road and at Oceano Beach down in that area many times. I have occasionally towed a 12 ft x 6 ft cargo trailer with two Harley-Davidsons or a Harley-Davidson and a Triumph down to Santa Maria and back which is an 850 mi round trip, (and Interstate 5 has absolutely horrible craters in the lanes, particularly the right lane where I'm usually located when towing). I've also towed a few different military trailers with either cargo, camping gear, or sometimes a flatbed military trailer with a single motorcycle. I've been in the habit with my past few vehicles of purchasing six wheels and tires and I do six wheel rotations and rotate them approximately every 5,000 mi. I run LT35x12.50-17R on AEV Pintler wheels on my 4.5" lifted Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited and during the listed mileage I've been running ARB Old Man Emu Sport shocks and Metalcloak true dual rate coil springs on a primarily Synergy equipped short arm system and a Dynatrac Pro Rock 44U front axle housing with RCV axles and Reid Bros. steering knuckles and Timken unit bearings, Ten Factory rear axles and CJ Tatton double cardan drive shafts. I looked at some of the one star ratings on here and read with their road, and I don't understand how they wore their tires out so quickly. Both the sidewalls and the tread on all of my tires look absolutely excellent. Being as how these are E rated tires and the OEM tires are C rated tires, I run approximately 26 psi on the street. If I'm towing a trailer, particularly if it's somewhat heavy, I bring the rear tires up to 28 or 29PSI, maybe 30 at the max. And occasionally I'll bump the front tires up a couple of pounds as well.
Tried Them All, But Keep Coming Back To The KO2
I work in farming/agriculture here in California and though we don’t get a whole lot of rain annually, when we do, it can be a challenge getting around the ranches. This is my 4th set of BFG AT and believe me, I have tried a lot of different brands over my 30 years. Put about 40,000 miles a year on my trucks (current is 2020 Chevrolet HD 2500 Diesel) and literally 1/2 is on farm where we sprinkler irrigate on clay loam soils where you can get stuck pretty easy if A. You don’t know how to drive in mud or B. You don’t have tires that “clean out”. I’ve run Coopers, Good Year wrangler MT and AT, Bridgestone, Michelin and the list goes on. Others we’re good tires but there is always the trade off between how they wear, noise, clean out mud, life etc. Last set was BFG MT which I never had to worry about getting stuck but between the road noise, ride, cupping and having to replace at 30,000 miles due all the above I came back to the BFG AT KO2 just last month. I can get 60,000+ miles easy out of a set even on my 3/4 ton as long as I rotate. I recommend on bigger trucks to rotate every 5,000 miles as the tire shop honors the free rotation and they are the ones that got me to do that and they’re not even listed on Website and they sell more of these than anyone in a 200 mile radius I’d bet money as Ag is huge and there are 1,000’s of company 4x4’s used every day here. BTW I also run the KO2 on my Jeep Rubicon in 35”. They are expensive tires, especially lately due the pandemic, but all tires are, but they’re quiet and smooth on road and aggressive off road and I literally get about 25% more miles out of them than the others. NO BRAINER
31/10.5 R15
I bought these tires less then a year ago and I dont like them. They collect every single nail on the road. The tread life is a joke 15/32 and now I'm at 6/32 hasn't been a year yet and I dont drive very far, I always wanted to leave mi and explore but no way I'm doing that with these tires I'll probably run out of tread before I hit Colorado..
On my third vehicle
Have had these (and previous versions) on three vehicles, now running them on a Subaru Crosstrek with a few off-road mods. Slightly louder than OEMs on pavement at freeway speeds, but far, far better off-road performance allows us to access remote trailheads and campsites we couldn't really get to before. Also, pleasantly surprised that switching from 18' OEM wheels/tires to 15" wheels/KO2s made this the most comfortable highway vehicle we've ever had, even with stiffer springs. My wife actually prefers it over her Lexus for our long road trips.
