I have been a big fan of the original KO 1's. I would easily get 30,000+ miles out of a set. I purchased a set of the KO 2's and they are almost worn down to failing inspection. They did great in the snow, ice and mud. However, I only have about 15,000 miles on them. The tread life on the KO 2's are horrible compared to the originals. I rotate, drive reasonably easy, and stay mainly on the pavement. My vehicle is not a heavy one. I have several friends reporting to me the same thing. If you expected decent miles out of the KO 2's ,similar to the originals, you will be disappointed. Hey BF Goodrich, bring back the originals!

I drive off-road for work frequently and we have used dozens of different tire brands. I can say of all the tires we've used I have gotten the most flats with this tire. The tires seem to pick up small rocks in the tread that then work their way into the tire and cause a leak within a few miles. I am impressed with the tough sidewalls. A lot of other tires get side wall cuts but not these.

My first set was the K.O. the truck (2003 f150 7700 series) loved them so much (lasted 110,000km). Mainly highway driving, light 4x4ing and hauling the truck camper (which weighed in at 2500lbs). Threw on the K.O.2 in the fall of 2016. Now that I have 20,000km on them I just did their second tire rotation, judging by the wear, I doubt I'll get more than 60,000 or 65,000. I'm not going to lie, not super impressed with the snowflake. As far as handling in the winter (Calgary, Canada), I haven't noticed a real difference between the K.O. and the K.O.2 They should have left them alone. Great tire, bad tread life.

All I can say is wow. These tires are far better the the previous version and I thought those where great all around tires except for deep snow or mud. But the new KO2's eat everything up and spit it out. I just finished the Great Lakes Raptor Excusoins Snoball event in the Upper peninsula of Michigan and these tires performed better then expected they where unstoppable in the deep snow, ice, or whatever was encountered it ate it up. I am very impressed with the new design it a winner.

Bought 265-70-17s for my new Tacoma, was super excited having owned older version of the ATs and loved the new look. From day 1 they were impossible to balance, have 3+ ounces of lead on 3 of the tires and over 4 on the 4th. They have a bad crown in them even though being run on a 17 x 8.5 rim(should be the correct size as far as I know). Though somewhat balanced they ride super rough on roads, like riding on tires made of wood, picking up every bump despite having a custom Bilstein suspension. I would not buy these again and I am looking for other good AT options to replace these bad tires with.

I put the BFG TA/KO (old style) on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ in 2014, at about 40,000 on the vehicle. Just had to replace nearly 5 yrs later, at 132,000. That's 90,000 miles (set of 5 so still 72,000 average). The new TA/KO2's have improved treads which seem to channel water out from under the tire better and they are quieter and smoother on the highway. No decrease in economy noted. Hopefully, I will get 90,000 miles out of this set of 5! Great tire.

I have gotten 40K on the last set of KO's and now KO2 tires. It's the only tire I will run on my truck. I've had them on a 1979, 1999, 2005, 2015 GMC Sierra, currently on a 2013 Hennessy Velociraptor and have never been stuck once in snow or Ice. Living in the PNW, we get our fair share of wet weather. Great in rain and mud as well. a must have if you want the best traction available in a non-studded tire.

Installed on my '14 Ram 2500 in Feb. 2016. They Only lasted only 29k miles. They did not wear evenly even-though I rotated them and had my alignment checked 3x in the 13 months I owned them. I had one tire wear so badly that the store I bought them from offered to replace it at no charge but I opted to buy 4 new tires of a different brand instead.

I just bought a set of the KO2's and so far I am very pleased. They are a lot more aggressive than the original KO's. They have a little bit of road noise but you will get that with any aggressive tire. Can't wait to use them in the snow and hit a mud hole with them.

These tires have been awesome! I have almost 10k on my set of 32's and they still look brand new. I have been in deep snow, compact snow, light mud, rocks, sand dunes and Tarmac. So far these tires have surpassed my expectations and have surprised me. I was first looking at KM2's but factored in the daily commute also. These tires are quite. Tarmac handling is is very good. I live in Seattle, WA. The rainy state. These tires are on my 1990 pickup 4x4. The rain performance is pretty awesome I'm not sure what some people are talking about hydro planing. I've gone 70-80mph through standing water and Heavy rain with full confidence and had never hydroplaned. Snow performance is good. I did get stuck once up in the mountains where I should have had no business playing around in. I did air them down to about 8-10psi with no beadlocks. (Desperate attempt, it was 6am and 0 degrees). Tires didn't debead even after driving on Tarmac to the cabin. Snow was 5feet high with deep snow banks on each side. With no winch, I was able to dig and rock it out. Even pulled my buddy half a mile back down the one lane road while he was stuck in a deep snow bank. 32's were just to small. As far as ice, no tire is going to be good unless you have studded tires or chains. I haven't experienced any "real" mud but light mud it handled great. These aren't mud terrain tires so I'm not expected them to be awesome. Sand dunes and beaches they had no problem in. Overall this tire I can say is the best "all-terrain" tire. People check your load rating and tire pressures and make sure you have them aired up correctly to get the most mileage out of them.
