Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT265/70R17/C 112S Tire forAmazing tread life!
These KO2's are wearing much better than the original KO's. I currently have 75,000 miles under a Ram 2500 Cummins with plenty of tread left. Only rotated 3 times & I'll bet these make it to 95,000 before I hit the wear bars. These tires are great on the highway, mud, snow, ice & sand. Incredible tires all around! Mind blown
Amazing Tire for Winter Driving
I have had these tires for just over 1 month and we have had 19 out of 27 days of below 0 and snowing weather and these tires have been amazing. I have a 2011 F150 and this is my 4th set of tires and hands down the best Snow and Ice tire I have had yet.
So glad to hear of your great experience with All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, oakley0.
Great looking tires.. really get out of balance quick
Was really excited about putting these tires on my van. After 1 week, I had to take them back to my retailer to have them balanced again . Since... Have had them back five times in 3 months, every time with excessive amounts of weight added to balance(Not the rims). Took them to another dealer out of town and ended up having them tell me 14oz. of weight on 2 of 4 tires and that they were very out of round. Since have met another gentleman that had the same problem on his F250 pickup. Have also had one tire already replaced with another that has the same problem. Really disappointed how out of round these tires are. They grip the road great. Do well in gravel roads and dirt. But at 55-65mph they now have a howl and are going out of balance very quickly. Van was aligned and ball joints replaced before putting on the new tires and rims. Hoping BFG will take care of these. Maybe just a bad batch.
Best tires I’ve owned
I purchased these tires almost 2 years ago and they have barely worn. These ko2 tires perform so great in the snow! Honestly these tires are perfect. Definitely the best all terrain tire ever made. i purchased nitto tires before and they suck in snow.
Thanks for the comments, Caleb1295!
Sensational
On my 5th set. Big trucks (1 ton) to AWD car Take everything I throw at em. High speed desert. Wet rocks. Cactus. Roots. Snow. Mud. Highway. Towing above 20,000 GVW. Burnouts. Sliding dirt/asphalt. If you’re looking for tires that performs, these are it. Sure they don’t regenerate tread, they’re tires. You get what you pay for. these tires have never failed to get me and my family back home after an unthinkable adventure. One name. One Baja legend. BFG!
BFGoodrich customers ROCK! Thanks so much for taking the time to submit a review Super Dan!
Excellent longevity and ride, handling etc.
These tires have been on my 2009 JKUR for just shy of 8 years, nearly 38,000 miles, and the tread still looks new. I live in the northernmost Sierra Nevada mountains, get a lot of rain, a little bit of snow, and 105-110°+ in the summers. Aside from around town and a whole bunch of logging and forest roads, I'm taking it on mini camping trips to the desert, to the Klamath mountains, and I camped my way up Highway 1 from Eureka to the Olympic peninsula. I've also driven it to Blaine Washington and back a few times on the highway. Also a lot of highway driving down to the southern part of the Central Coast of California and both on and off-road and at Oceano Beach down in that area many times. I have occasionally towed a 12 ft x 6 ft cargo trailer with two Harley-Davidsons or a Harley-Davidson and a Triumph down to Santa Maria and back which is an 850 mi round trip, (and Interstate 5 has absolutely horrible craters in the lanes, particularly the right lane where I'm usually located when towing). I've also towed a few different military trailers with either cargo, camping gear, or sometimes a flatbed military trailer with a single motorcycle. I've been in the habit with my past few vehicles of purchasing six wheels and tires and I do six wheel rotations and rotate them approximately every 5,000 mi. I run LT35x12.50-17R on AEV Pintler wheels on my 4.5" lifted Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited and during the listed mileage I've been running ARB Old Man Emu Sport shocks and Metalcloak true dual rate coil springs on a primarily Synergy equipped short arm system and a Dynatrac Pro Rock 44U front axle housing with RCV axles and Reid Bros. steering knuckles and Timken unit bearings, Ten Factory rear axles and CJ Tatton double cardan drive shafts. I looked at some of the one star ratings on here and read with their road, and I don't understand how they wore their tires out so quickly. Both the sidewalls and the tread on all of my tires look absolutely excellent. Being as how these are E rated tires and the OEM tires are C rated tires, I run approximately 26 psi on the street. If I'm towing a trailer, particularly if it's somewhat heavy, I bring the rear tires up to 28 or 29PSI, maybe 30 at the max. And occasionally I'll bump the front tires up a couple of pounds as well.
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!

On the Fence
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.
So Far - Very Good!
We put the new BFG KO2's in a 265/70 R17C (6ply) configuration on our stock 2003 Toyota 4Runner 4.7L v8 4x4 with 17" stock alloy's and have run them for just about 3500 miles running at 50 psi and have been very pleased with them so far. The size is a slight up-tic from the stock tire, but is the size recommended via a call to Michelain's customer support help-line. The clearance in the front wheel well when the tire is turned hard right or left leaves about and inch against the interior well trimming. We have not had any rubbing or collection of debris trapping therein. We chose the C class feeling it would be a good compromise given the GVW of the V8 4runner and our intended use and all-around passenger comfort as opposed to the E class 8Ply configuration. We bought the 03 4.7L V8 4x4 (108K miles) because we wanted an old school rig we could go into the hills with and not worry about putting some Colorado pinstripes on while four-wheeling through tight tree lined tracks, tow a trailer if needed and run the interstate to Denver from our home in South-Central Colorado. So Far - Very Good! Both the Rig and the Tires. We've never enjoyed, or been impressed as much with a vehicle as much as this old V8 4Runner and the BFG KO2's have simply improved the vehicle which previously had a set of Michelin all-season radials. I was very concerned about road noise with the KO2's, but decided that we were going all in for them in that we wanted a tire that would serve better, the purpose for which we'd bought the rig. These tires are amazingly quiet! And I'm terribly picky and sensitive to road noise. In my opinion their noise increase over the all-season Michelins is so minimal as not to be noteworthy. As for performance, in November we took them for a spin up the rough and rocky 4X4 track which leads to Balman Reservoir and Rainbow lake in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. We aired down to about 30 psi and were very pleased in that we weren't getting beat up by the 6ply's - this is a rough and very rocky road and the tires performed very well in dry, steep and steep track with loose gravel-scree and dirt. At higher elevation we ran into snow (perhaps 3" to start) and the tires did a great job their too. The only slippage was as we climbed in steep turning pitches where the rear end would slip a few inches out to the downhill side. Mostly due to the tracking of the trail itself. We stopped and turned back due to good sense and an extreme narrowing of the trail with a precipice on the right-hand downhill side of the track. The tires were willing; we on the other hand decided that in the fading light of day, good judgment and not the voice of the KO2's saying go for it was best. Also, upon returning to lower elevation and groomed dirt and pavement we did not observe and tire damage nor did the tread retain and gravel or rocks of any significance. - So Far- Very Good! On the highway we have enjoyed a confidant ride that does not pull or cause the vehicle to behave any differently than when we'd previously driven it on the all-season Michelins, a great tire for what they are designed to do -. As for fuel economy, if their is a negative it is negligible in that we've not noted any loss of merit in our mileage per tank - So Far - Very Good! As for paved roads and snow and ice, just last week on Saturday afternoon we happened to be obligated to drive in conditions that one would otherwise be advised to stay home and read about such adventures by a warm fire. It was Saturday, December 12th, the condition were snow, packing snow and straight-up skating rink (I've got 20 sliding, crash, ding and dent photo's to prove it!) You know, the footage you've seen scenes like it on the evening news people sliding while simply setting still - yah that stuff! The BFG KO2's were fantastic! I did put the 4runner in H-4 (four-wheel drive and but with the exception of those hard right or left turns in a tight circumference radius turn where the rear-end would give a bit of side-slip out and then recover, they instilled confidence and proved themselves a tire that, I will, without hesitation buy again and highly recommend to others.I gave the tires a 4-Star rating here as opposed to a 5 only in that we have not had them long enough to determine rubber compound longevity, overall durability and/or tread-live etc.,. All said, if you're thinking about a new All-Terrain or Snow Tire go buy BFGoodrich's All-Terrain KO2's, they will not disappoint.
Great tires!!
I just purchased a second set of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2’s for my 2014 Ford F-150 FX4. I got 60,000 miles on the last set of tires making sure to rotate them every 5,000 miles. These tires perform awesome in mud and deep snow. Thanks for a great set of tires!!
So glad to hear of your great experience withAll-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, Walleyewizard!
