The new KO2 is a horrible tire. I have had BFG tires on 4 Jeeps and 3 trucks before this set and have been great. The new set I have have been a nightmare. They have been to three different shops for 6 attempts at balancing them. They will not balance out. For the amount of time I have spent bringing these to a shop I could have purchased a new set of tires from a different manufacture. This will be my last set of BFG tires.

I have owned the original TKO and was a very satisfied customer until the new TKO2 was installed in Jan16. At first they were great in the snow and on the road but at 1800 miles they were vibrating pretty bad, dealer re-balanced, so no big deal I figured the roads were rough any thing is possible. over the next 8200hwy miles /6 months these tires have been re-balanced 7 times and tread wear is down over 40%. Dealer says at this rate by Nov. tires will be bald which should be roughly 20k by NOV! OUCH! Since the purchase these tires have created a bad pull especially upon braking and they are vibrating most of the time even after having road force balanced but I tried to deal with it. I have had the truck to 3 alignment shops and the truck has nothing out of spec. The brake shop found nothing wrong with the brakes. The tires aren't cupping but only wearing smoothly and evenly on front and rear. These tires are not near the quality that they used to have the reputation for. The older version on the same truck went 72k hwy/city and still had tread left but if I would have kept the newer version I would have had to buy all 4 tires at-least 3 times in order to achieve the miles on the older TKO set. That was pretty sickening looking at the cost of the future tire cost at that rate! I purchased 4 new Michelin's and so far after 2k they don't need balanced, no road noise, truck has no pull what so ever LOL I can let go of the wheel and the truck tracks straight! Its amazing all the troubles that these tires created! I took TKO2 tires back to the dealer and they contacted BFG. BFG purchased tires back at original purchase price so I can NOT complain about the customer service! BFG stood behind the product without question so hopefully BFG gets the problem fixed so I can have confidence in the tires again! I wouldn't recommend the TKO2 but would recommend BFG line which is owned by Michelin tire. The truck is a 2012 F350 diesel 4X4 crew cab short bed.

Just replaced my stock tires (SRA) with same size BFG KO2's. They add a nice look to the truck. They are a stiffer tire, load range E, max inflation of 80 psi. I run them around 50 psi. There is barely any road noise from tire. Almost the same as SRA's from factory. So no you will not hear humming noise from tires. They are stiffer and you will feel bumps a little more defined, as expected. so far so good:) I read reviews before buying them and this seems to be the way to go.

Have these tires on my truck, and unfortunately they came with the truck. I have had my tires balanced about 6 times within the past 6 months, also had them road force balanced twice and even replaced a tire. I drive mostly highway (85%) and they shake very bad at higher speeds. Cant wait for these things to run raw so I can get me some better tires.

Purchased these tires for my 2012 2500HD after lots of research and spent a decent chunk of money on them because I figured they would last a long time. I was wrong. Before these I had Federal Couragia M/T's that were the same size (35x12.5R18) and they lasted 2.5 years. Overall they're great tires. Excellent traction in mud and I was looking forward to testing them in the snow this year. They're just not meant for 3/4 tons, despite their E load rating. I've only put 4,000 miles on them and the rear tires have been chunking out and worn down significantly more than the front. I don't drive on gravel roads. I don't accelerate hard/quickly. I only drive asphalt and dirt. No steep grades. No spinning of the tires. No towing. The heaviest thing these tires have experienced besides the weight of the truck is 12 bales of hay and a buck. Definitely not enough weight or time to warrant this kind of wear. I don't know if I just got a bad batch with soft rubber or something, but I was very disappointed as one of the selling points on the KO2, is longer tread life. I don't foresee them lasting as long as they would on maybe a Jeep or a 1/2 ton. Took the truck in yesterday to Walmart to have the tires rotated (where I bought and had the tires put on) and the service manager said he'd never seen anything like the wear that he's seeing. They're wearing insanely quick for only having 4,000 miles on them. Bottom line is, KO2's are great but they can't handle the weight.

I got these about 2 years ago after a nail at a construction site got in my stock tacoma Tires. Every one says to get these on tacoma pages. So these are my 1st AT tires. So far i love them, they look great, they barely added road noise and they have handled mud and sand like a breeze. The handled the snowmageddon of Texas 2021 with ease. I would highly recommend these tires.

I have a set of these KO2s on my Lexus GX460. I have 18,000mi on them now and the tread is half gone and the outside 1.5in is already dry cracking. And for the record, this vehicle is my commuter and half of the year the roads are covered with snow. What ever compound change you guys have made is not an appreciable one. I won't be buying another set of these.

Had a set on 06 Z71 with 30k when I sold the truck, were only 1/2 worn. On my second set F-150 FX4 and 3 of these have 52k on them. I slammed one into a 12" drain curb to avoid an accident. Got a bubble in the side wall the size of an orange, Drove 40 miles without a failure.The replacement now has 23k on it and will be my spare. Both set are based on 275/65 r20. Averaged 65% On-road / 35% Off-road use. Bought to get another set.

They are great off roading in the southwest desert but very difficult to balance for highway speeds. I think I finally got it worked out. Long story short: go to an expert who cares, takes pride in their work, and does hunter road force balancing.i

I have been running these tires for 25 years on various vehicles. (GMC Sierra, Tundra, 4 Runner). IMO there is no other option. Living in BC we get all the weather and these tires have never let me down. I am getting close to 90000km out of a set. I do run them at a lower psi then the sidewall says but feel that helps them wear more evenly and and provides unmatched traction in snow and wet.
