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.

Purchased and had installed 4 new KO2's a few months ago on my 09 F150. We had our first snow storm hit southwest VA and the east coast this past weekend and super cold temps. I was reluctant to purchase the tires because of the price. It was worth every penny, the tires way out performed my expectations. We were able to pull people out of ditches and there wasn't a single icy hill or un-plowed driveway that we couldn't go up or come down. I was overly impressed with the traction and control I had. very rarely did I even need 4 wheel drive. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

Several Weeks ago I purchased a set of KO2's for my 2012 F-150 King Ranch 4 X 4 (with Max tow package) to replace my factory highway tires. My truck is used in a wide range of driving conditions for South Louisiana, including high speed highway driving, local trips, towing my 9,500 lb travel trailer, and sometimes mud driving. I use my truck for my job as the director of the local levee district. These tires look and handle great. My fuel economy appears to be the same as before. Today, my new tires were put to the ultimate test. I was at the end of a new 3 mile dirt levee under constriction when it suddenly started raining very hard, which occurs frequently in South Louisiana in the summer time. This is the first time that I really needed to use my 4wd low setting. My new KO2's saved the day and I was able to get out of a potentially very bad situation. I honestly believe that I would have bogged down with my old tires and would have needed a tractor or bulldozer to pull me out. Great Tires!

Horrible vibration.... bfg is having problems with these tires. The belts are giving problems and they can't seem to get the rubber compound right. So unless you want to throw away a couple grand I would look elsewhere. I've had 3 sets under warranty and the local tire store won't even sell them anymore.

These are the only tires I would ever put on a 4WD truck. They get traction in all conditions -- dry pavement, wet pavement, mud, ice, and particularly snow. Even in the heaviest of snow, these tires just grip and go. I've watched other 4WD trucks spin their wheels accelerating from a stoplight (in snow), but I just hit the gas and go right by. I have absolute confidence my truck will never get stuck anywhere with these tires.

I just bought these after debating from alot of different brands . The appearance of my truck looks wicked now and rides very smooth , just drive on my loose gravel driveway and never slipped . I hope they do good in rain and snow and ice, and hopefully lasts a long time on my ram 1500 that i pull occasionally with a toyhauler .

I've only had these tires a few weeks so I am rating performance not longevity or tread life. I purchased these tires right before deer season here in Idaho. I tow a 31.5' travel trailer into the mountains. The roads were descent for the most part. The last mile before my camp they turned seriously muddy with huge puddles. With my truck in 4WD high the tires performed amazingly well. We also had packed snow on the mountain roads and they did great in those conditions as well. And they look beefy on the truck. Much better than on the store shelf.

I’ve had these tires on my 2014 Tundra (77K miles) for 7 years. Had a couple flats - one replaced one patched - and not caused my manufacturing in the slightest. Have them mounted in some Black Rhino wheels. These have endured blazing Oklahoma sun, rock, mud, and a lot more in between. Would highly recommend these tires. They aren’t rated for long distances and have far surpassed the estimated mileage.

I have been driving on AT/TAs for many years, so when the new KO2 came out I jumped at them, figuring they had to be an improvement. They are wonderful in snow! I drive skiing three or four days a week, and they handled the deepest snow with ease. They also corner very nicely, and are relatively quiet. However, they shimmy at highway speeds, and my dealer simply cannot get them balanced. I've had them in three times, and each time the wobble changes slightly, but never goes away. I'm afraid I will have to either go back to the good old KOs, or look for a new tire, before my teeth rattle out!

Just upgraded my 4Runner - selected these based upon a few reviews and, honestly, their aggressive look. What I got was much, much more: phenomenal on road performance, super rain/wet performance, super snow performance, no buzz on highway, and more traction than I could ever use.
