Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT315/70R17C 113T Tire forAll-Terrain T/A KO2 - SIMPLY THE BEST
On my 3rd set of these tires over the years! I insist on these tires they are superior in every way to the competitors in my opinion. They give excellent tread off road or in the snow, but yet they are quiet on the freeway. The tread lasts forever it seems, also you just cant go wrong.
So glad to hear of your great experience with All Terrain T/A KO2 tires, The Mailman.
Great overall and long lasting.
I’ve had these tires since I purchased my JK over 4 years ago. Over 40K miles on them and I’d say they still have another year or so. I’ve driven with a uhaul from Michigan to Colorado and back and then from Michigan to California. Remember that the tires don’t break in until 10k miles or so and then rotate 4-6k miles…they will last forever.
Third 4x4 I'm putting them on
Have had these on a 2011 Jeep Liberty 4x4, a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and now putting them on my 2016 Chevy Tahoe LTZ 4x4. Great treadwear, quiet off road tire, high quality, never a flat, sidewall or tread. Ran them in Texas running cattle and now in NW Arkansas mountains in all kinds of weather. Love these tires!
More quiet than anticipated
I like the tire's ride and performance, although I've only experienced dry pavement and gravel so far. Even at greater inflation than my previous tires, they have a comfortable, slightly cushioned feel that dampens pavement irregularities I used to feel. They are also quieter than I expected. I'm entirely pleased so far - waiting for the snow to fall. They also seem to shed gravel pretty well before I reach pavement unlike my previous tires.
Awesome Tires
I purchased these tires around 2 months ago, and they are awesome. Been in the snow, mud, rain, and asphalt and have held up to their expectation. Very quiet tires as well, I don't really hear much if i am going over 25. Definitely would recommend these tires for anyone who is looking for an all around awesome tire.
Thanks for sharing the love Austin64!
Sidewall Failure
This is my 8th set of BFG KO2s on my personal rigs, and I run a fleet of 23 trucks at work with them. The latest set I purchased for my personal truck exactly one year ago. Everysingle tire is cracking on the side wall in a radial pattern. These are not weathering cracks or old tires. These cracks are thick enough to stick a quarter in them. Between all four tires there are 69 cracks in the side walls of my tires in a perfectly radial pattern. These tires were made January of 2023.
LE, sorry to read that you are experiencing this. Present your vehicle to an authorized BFGoodrich retailer for an inspection of the tires. Ask the dealer to call us with their findings at 866-866-6605 while you are there, so that we can determine how to proceed.
Better than Original BFG AT
First off, awesome tire. I have been very impressed with the ride quality, wear, and handling of these tires. I had them installed on a 2012 F150 King Ranch and they replaced the stock tire. Size is LT275/65/20. Typically drive about 3000k a month, mostly interstate or highway. Also frequently used off road on hunting property access roads, power lines, and fields. I used to have the original BFG AT KO's and wasn't too sure about purchasing the AT KO2's. After a few thousand miles I have come to realize it was the best tire purchase I've made. I will summarize my thoughts on each category: Look - Didn't know if I liked the aggressive sidewall look at first because it didn't look "clean" to me but honestly the look has grown on me. After all this isn't a passenger car tire! Ride - If you've ever had premium tires (G-Year, Michelin) then you know what a difference they make over knock offs. This is my second set of BFG AT's (KO2 this time) and these tires ride as good as or better than the stock Michelin's that came on my truck. The ride is actually less harsh than before and absorbs all kinds of potholes, bumps, and road wear with a soft feel. There is no more abruptness to the ride of my truck anymore which is surprising due to the E Load rating. Most E tires I have had in the past were much stiffer and felt like riding a dump truck due to the bouncing around. Not the case here. Also there is no shake or vibration in the wheels which is important to me as I spend a lot of time both in the woods and on the interstate. Noise - Honestly this part of the tire is a huge difference than the previous BFG AT's and one of the biggest upgrades in the design and quality that must have been made. I've had plenty of experiences with the MT K02's which were fairly loud if you didn't rotate them, and other all terrians that you heard hum down the road. My opinion is that the road noise is so minimal I did not notice any difference in going from a road tire to the all terrains. Towards the end of the rotating cycle you can hear a soft hum as you cruise down the road in lower speeds with the windows down. However I can't hear them with the windows up and have no problem talking on speakerphone while driving at any speed. I rotate every other tire change (so every 8000 miles). Handling - This tire has done very well in every condition I have been in. A few examples: - In my state, we have terrible roads and therefore when it rains the roads are very dangerous because of hydroplaning. I actually bought new tires (this tire) after almost losing control on the interstate from hydroplaning. Have not had that issue since and never felt a loss of control with these tires. - Off road: These tires go well in all muddy situations from rain soaked farm soil to damp clay. This tire (or any really) isn't the best with dryer or very wet clay as it will just cake into the tread. I haven't had that happen with these tires as they are pretty self cleaning in most conditions. - Did not slip on very steep and very slick boat ramp pulling a 7000lb boat out of the water in 2wd. - Never tested in snow as we rarely get any! Cons / Considerations I haven't had many issues with this tire but I bought it knowing what to expect. A lot of the negative points people make (about any item) are due to having different expectations or a lack of knowledge of the product and usually a combination of both. This review is about an All Terrain tire, with aggressive tread and is heavy, and has an E load rating. Knowing these facts are critical in basing an opinion before providing negative feedback. That being said here are mine: - The tires themselves are hard to clean around the edge due to sidewall tread pattern. Mud likes to stay in the little grooves. This is being picky but that mud is hard to get out without a decent scrub. - I rotate every 7.5k to 8k miles which is longer than recommended 5k. That last thousand miles will have a little bit of tire hum. This isn't a negative or a con to me but just something to point out. -If you drive gravel roads a lot and don't like rock dings, be weary of this tire. It loves to pick up gravel and sling it all over the place. This isn't a huge problem for me but if you are buying tires that stick out past fender you will throw them all down the side of your truck. - This isn't' really a negative but I would note fuel MPG did decrease. HOWEVER, I went to a much heavier tire and a bigger tire. I would say while MPG did decrease it was only by 1mpg. These tires are load E range and not necessarily designed to go on 1/2 ton trucks. They are made for the F250's or larger where there is need to have 75psi in the tires. Overall I've been very impressed with the quality of the new BFG AT KO2 and would recommend this tire over the originals. It is quieter, has a better ride, and handles equally as efficient as any all terrain I've driven on. If you ever had the originals, or any other subpar off road tire then do yourself a favor and purchase these. You get what you pay for and more.
I would buy this product
The new BF are the best ones I ever bought... that is the only truck tire I run on my personal trucks.. (whole life ) my F 350 super duty , leaf spring lift n bilstiens shocks .. Those bf run like there cushions .. absorb a lot if the road abuse .. traction A+..... grabs n goes ... stops on a dime.... little pricey but worth every dime..... I'm happy there R n D department has done there homework.....
Best AT tire I've ever used.
I have 80,000 (Yes, 80k, you read that correct) miles on these tires on my 2022 F-150 work truck and they have been flawless. They are amazing in the snow, decent in the mud, and have acceptable minor road noise. They are balanced great, and I'm getting another set installed next week. Rotated them every 10k miles, have seen their fair share of pavement, dirt, mud, rocks, and snow and they've been the perfect tire for what I've needed. I see these reviews about low tire life and not balancing... etc, and that completely boggles my mind, I don't know what you guys are doing... but whatever it is... It's obviously something wrong.
never again
I only have 20 thousand miles on the tires and they are wore out I have a 2016 f250 I had my tire dealer check my truck out and there is no issue with my truck .Bf goodrich will only give me 43 percent rebate on the tire not acceptable .I won't even bother putting a nother set on I'll pay full price for a better tires
