Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT315/70R17C 113T Tire forBFG Loyalty
First, I don't work for Michelin and no involved with BFG in any way other than being a loyal customer. I have been buying nearly exclusively BFG tires since I was 16. I am now 29 and just bought something like my 12th set of tires for vehicles my wife and I have owned. Everytime with the exception of two sets I have bought a Michelin family tire. I absolutely love the All Terrain T/A KO so I was naturally a little worried about them making the change to another version. The previous AT KO I had on my 2009 Ram 1500 I took off with 77,247 and they had somewhere between 2 and 3/32nds left. I find the tires to be phenomenal and I never even had a flat during that run of a lot of miles. I am so far impressed with the KO2 it is quiet and rides really nice grip seems great but no winter driving yet. I do wonder why they stopped putting the rim protection bead on and why they would not offer a raised white letter anymore? I went down a size from 285/65R20 to 275/65R20 to save a little cash so commenting on MPG probably is not apples to apples but I have not noticed a change thus far. Quality like these tires include is a great piece of mind and when you calculate the cost per mile I think you will find they are a very good deal in reality.
Best a/t tire
Bought a truck with these tires installed, at first wasn’t a fan but after these past couple months of heavy rain and freezing temperatures. They’ve won me over, with their overall durability and performance I’ve gone from being stuck in mud with my wife to being able to maneuvering my way out while other vehicles tried to follow suit and had to be pulled out. I’m definitely not easy on my truck and the fact that these tires took everything I threw at them with ease and still exceeded the 50,000 mile expectancy is no miracle but BFG at its best. Looking for to a buying new set and getting back in the road
Life Saver Maybe
The K02s were installed on our Ram 1500 4X4 about 10,000 miles ago. We drive it primarily on road but frequently off road on Mojave Desert trails. We bought them because we like the K0s on our vintage Jeep. These tires are exceptional both on and off road. They handle better on road than I imagined and did not change the fuel mileage at all from the stock street tires. My biggest concern before buying them was sound (we do a 500 mile road trip to monthly) but I needed tires with off road capability. The only time I notice the sound is while braking and it isn't annoying. Off road performance is everything I hoped and more than we need. Flats were my main concern and so far so good. The real test for the tires was on a 70 mph section of Interstate 10. My wife had nearly passed a big rig when the driver weaved into her, his left front wheel with lug nut spikes contacted her right rear. She felt the nudge and got the truck to the shoulder across three lanes of traffic without spinning or losing control. The spikes took chunks out of the wheel and broke the bead resulting in a total loss of air pressure. The sidewall of the tire was sliced but when we looked at it the carcass was not penetrated. The tire was not punctured and would still hold air if there wasn't a hole in the wheel. My wife said after correcting from the initial impact the truck handled predictably the entire incident. We'll put T/A K02s on all our future trucks as long as BF Goodrich makes them. Thanks for a great product!
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.
new set hurt the rating.......
I have had a couple of sets of these tires. 2017 Tundra and 2018 Ram 2500. i will say that when it comes tp performance in both snow and back mountains in the Smokeys they are great. But after my last set being installed about 8 months ago i have to question the value now that the Ram needs to have them replaced. I have always gotten good milage out of these, but now only 8 months....... not to happy. might be trying a new tire to see the difference.
Hi royal423, thanks for sharing your experience with the All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Of course air pressure plays a great role in fuel economy. Also, new tires, having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance compared to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. All things being equal, over the life of the tires, the fuel efficiency should improve.
5th set of all terains
Every truck I have owned from 1985 to present gets a set of All Terrain tires. I just purchased my 5th set of these tires, they are the only tire I will purchase anymore. I usually get 50,000 miles plus out of these tires and never have any issues on or off road. Great TIRE BF GOODRICH.
GREAT Tires!!
Great tires. I just purchased my second set of KO2s for another truck. I didn't have to look at anything else. They ride smooth, very quiet and they have a really nice look. Perfect tread for my needs which is mildly off-road and 4WD. I highly recommend the KO2 tires.
About to buy my second set...
These tires have gone way further than I expected they would. I bought my '04 4Runner in the summer of 2019 and it's now fall 2021, and it had these tires on it already. I don't remember whether they were brand new or not, but I know they had a lot of tread on them. I've taken these tires from Northern California up to Oregon, down to San Diego and back to Northern California, to Texas and back to Northern California, back to Texas again and then on to New England and drive them daily. Tens of thousands of road miles on them as well as hundreds of miles off-road through moderately rough, rocky terrain. I've been pretty careful to have them rotated and balanced somewhat regularly. They've simply never ever given me any trouble, and one of the most shocking things to me is they hold air like no tire I've ever seen before. I check them often and I really don't ever remember having to add anything except for a couple pounds, and that was only once or twice! I've probably put about 50,000 plus on them and they still have just enough tread to still be legal, but I just scheduled with a tire shop to put on another pair of them. There is literally nothing negative about my experience with them. I'm sold on 'em for as long as I keep my 4Runner. I've never seen a more solid tire.
2017 and now on my 2020 Raptor
Everyone that knows about the F150 Raptor also knows they come with BFG KO2's. Well since I have been driving a Raptor since 2017, I am certain I'm aware of how poorly these tires stay together. I can provide pictures of chunks of tire missing and can even show pictures of chunks about to go missing! And these issues start EARLY! As in within 10,000 miles. My 2020 only has 21,000 miles and I have to start looking for new tires????? 50,000 mile warranty is extremely laughable! I give one star to 50,000 miles, its more like 15,000! The picture only shows one instance. All four tires have the same issue all around the tire! I want to keep the stock tire setup, but I really don't want to buy new tires every 15,000 to 20,000 miles! I am wondering what BFG has to say about this!

AT-T/A KO's the Competition!
I purchased my first set 11/21 and got about 35k miles out of them, which is about average for me. I've tried Michelin LTX M/S and they I slid around in the rain, but got about 42k miles out of them. I've tried GY, Yokohama and Bridgestone as well and the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 2 worked all around the best but they stopped making that design and went to the Revo 3 and not as good. But I know I'll never get the 55k miles out of the BFG as they state on the limited treadwear warranty but they stick to the ground even when driving. The handling is great and they wear evenly. The sidewalls are more stout which is good for the off-roading and rubbing against curbs. I have not seen any of the sidewall cracking that others have complained of and I know what they are talking about after being in the Tire Business for the last 40 years. I've seen more that most have imagined. I just purchased my 2nd set last week. I drive a 2005 Chevy Silverado 4 WD and have 449k miles on it, so I'll keep buying the these BFG's till someone can convince me to change.
