Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - 32X11.50R15/C 113R Tire forgreat tread wear and traction for my Raptor
Use my Raptor for going hunting in winter and and run into muddy conditions most of the time. These tires have excellent traction and rid themselves of mud easily. I have never had any slick over with these tires. I rotate tires every 6,000 miles and check alignment. Absolutely no road noise on dry pavement and excellent wear. After 17,000 miles they still look new. Very pleased
Like everything about them but the tread life
I bought these to put on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK unlimited Rubicon Recon about three years ago , they look great and drive great no problems , the road noise was minimal, good in snow, rain, sand, gravel , great on the highway only drawback is I only have about 42,000 miles on them and not much tread left , I live in the UP of Michigan where we get 300” of snow and backroad logging trail trips are frequent, so a good tire is a must .
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.
My last set lasted 108k miles.
I just replaced a set of these tires with 108,000 miles on them. 275/70R17 on a 9,500lb Ford E-350 4x4. Mostly pavement miles with use in rain and snow; occasion dirt and mud use/mild off-road. They have performed admirably in every condition I've used them and held up for an amazing number of miles. A fantastic value all around and I won't buy anything else for this rig.
K02
I been buying bf goodrich for a long long time, mid 1980's. The all-terrain on a seperate set of rims and bf goodrich TRUCK TA for non winter months back around 1986. (since mergers, Truck T/A no longer available) I wanted the solid white letters and selection as I recall was BF Goodrich only. Also my muscle car also had T/A on it. Anyways I have close to 40,000 on the ko2 and they are at 3/32, very noisy, dispite 5000 mile rotation and no uneven wear. How I see other comments stating many more miles on them is confusing to me. Anywhy, since the mid 1980's I think a change in choice is coming. Every time I bought a new 4-wheel vehicle, i worked with the dealer to get the tires swapped out for the bf goodrich. Not satisified.
We understand the All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires on your truck did not meet your expectation in terms of mileage. A member of our Consumer Care team will be in contact with you. You may also reach our office at 1-866-866-6605.
Fequent Flats
I drive off-road for work frequently and we have used dozens of different tire brands. I can say of all the tires we've used I have gotten the most flats with this tire. The tires seem to pick up small rocks in the tread that then work their way into the tire and cause a leak within a few miles. I am impressed with the tough sidewalls. A lot of other tires get side wall cuts but not these.
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.
KO2
Got my 5th set of new BFG's KO tires on my truck now! Upgraded to the new KO2 tire and love them. Rides, handles and looks even better than the old KO tires. The last set lasted a long time and these new KO2's are even better. Just bummed that I can't get them in my trucks size anymore after this new set with RWL. Makes the truck look sporty.
More quiet than anticipated
I like the tire's ride and performance, although I've only experienced dry pavement and gravel so far. Even at greater inflation than my previous tires, they have a comfortable, slightly cushioned feel that dampens pavement irregularities I used to feel. They are also quieter than I expected. I'm entirely pleased so far - waiting for the snow to fall. They also seem to shed gravel pretty well before I reach pavement unlike my previous tires.
Great Performance, But didn't last
Tire size 285/75/R16 mounted on a 6.5" Rim. These tires performed great! Up until about 2/32's tread they did great in rain, snow, and regular driving conditions. I never used the tire for off road purposes as I have a 2WD Truck. I did mainly on road driving and towing a trailer about 4-5 days a week. The few times I was off road they performed well in everything but mud. I always ran max psi in the rear tires so that may have contributed to poor tread life, but it was mainly an issue with towing. I got around a year out of these tires or about 25,000-30,000 miles. I would recommend this tire for anyone not regularly towing a trailer. Great performance and if I have a vehicle that doesn't tow, I would happily purchase these again.
