Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - 32X11.50R15/C 113R Tire forWell designed but not well made.
I bought these 2.5 years ago. And have about half the useable tread left. I thought they did really well in sand. They did decent in mud and snow. They didnt live up to the hype when it came to stopping in snow and rain. They also started splitting and cracking in the sidewalls I went back to the place I bought them and they said I needed new tires but no warranty was offered by the shop or BFGoodrich. Not what I was expecting from a baja champion tire.

Great Tires On and Off the Road
Have used the T/A All-Terrains for years. On full sized pickup trucks and now on my FJ Cruiser. They just keep getting better! I am running LT285 70R17s on my FJ and they are great on the road and amazing off the road. Highway noise is less than you would expect for this type of tire. Wear is truly surprisingly good!
Great Tire
I just bought a set of the KO2's and so far I am very pleased. They are a lot more aggressive than the original KO's. They have a little bit of road noise but you will get that with any aggressive tire. Can't wait to use them in the snow and hit a mud hole with them.
KO’s /KO2
I love my BFG KO2s on my jeep wrangler JK Unlimited. I’ve had them on my jeep since my very first one when I was 15 years old all I ever ran on them had the first gen KOs now KO2s on my other jeeps the performance in the mud saying rain snow been to great and with the mileage you can get out of them I lower the pusher down to 18 psi rock crawling with factory rimes and never lost a bead wile pushing on the side wall against rocks and climbing out of mud hole and climbing up steep hills wile raining with red clay they always surprised me and ever one else I go riding with in the Jeep seen I hang with all of them I’m 28 and never ran anything other then KO’s and KO2S never had a flat tire had 5 Nails in one back tire but never lost air and never took them out for the life of them just all around good tires could not be happier with them
Love them!
I have had KO2s on full size 4WD trucks and I now run them on my new Subaru Outback Wilderness. They are a bit heavier and more noisy but that's to be expected. I have had these across sand dunes (deflated), deep mud, rock and in deep snow and they just can't be beat! I've read a couple state that they dry and crack but I've never had an issue in that regards. I highly recommend them.
Best A/T tire out there!!!!
I bought a set of 5 tires for my Hummer H2 overland rig thru Tire Kingdom. The tire buying experience was awful...but once everything was done I forgot about it when hitting the trail. We started the beginning of the Trans-American Trail and gravel all the way. With these tire I had loads of confidence driving up and down the mountains in NC and TN. Getting these was the best upgrade for the truck. Now the rest of the guys that were with me want a set!!!!
Extreme confidence
Excellent traction in all conditions. 59,500 miles and still have 4/32 tread. 50 years of driving and testing tires and this is my third set and hope they will always be. No hype just fact. Excellent ride low noise great handling on my 4x4 1/2 ton Ram.
Very Disappointed!!
I've had countless sets of KO's over the years, this is my first set and last set of KO2's They just were very disappointing compared to the KO's in thread life. They have worn like the truck has an alignment issue yet the truck was aligned when they were installed and double checked after about 10k miles as the KO2's were wearing poorly.
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.
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!
