I put about 30,000 miles per year on my little Ranger pickup, and spend a lot of time travelling over mountain passes in the winter. I've been very happy with my KO2s. Good traction in winter weather, especially with 4 wheel drive. With all highway travel, and not a lot of weight I got 80,000 miles on the first set and just replaced them. If it were summer I would have held off for another 5k. Would have been 5 stars, but they got a little noisy toward the end.

Good grip starting on inclines at stop lights. Maintains as good or better contact with road was someone could expect in deep water of 6-12" Reasonable allowance for road noise when on a jeep. It's not a highway specific tire nor a mud tire. Good all-around. If after specific use, go with highway tire or go mud tire. Like the grip of these on wet roads better than the slightly more mud tire from another major brand that came with the Jeep Wrangler in 2002.

Liked everything about the tire EXCEPT it wore out at 27,000 miles. Had them on my 1997 F-250 4x4 diesel pickup and the dealer said the heavy pickups eat up the soft rubber. Went to a tire with a 60,000 mile warranty as the KO2 has no mileage warranty.

I switch from another ATM tire and wow what a difference!!! The BFG KO2 is amazing! Truck runs so much smoother on and off road. I looked at other tires as well. After lots of research and now having driven the KO2 I can say there is no comparison. The BFG is a far better tire over all. I would highly recommend the KO2 to anyone that wants a great tire!!!!

First off, awesome tire. I have been very impressed with the ride quality, wear, and handling of these tires. I had them installed on a 2012 F150 King Ranch and they replaced the stock tire. Size is LT275/65/20. Typically drive about 3000k a month, mostly interstate or highway. Also frequently used off road on hunting property access roads, power lines, and fields. I used to have the original BFG AT KO's and wasn't too sure about purchasing the AT KO2's. After a few thousand miles I have come to realize it was the best tire purchase I've made. I will summarize my thoughts on each category: Look - Didn't know if I liked the aggressive sidewall look at first because it didn't look "clean" to me but honestly the look has grown on me. After all this isn't a passenger car tire! Ride - If you've ever had premium tires (G-Year, Michelin) then you know what a difference they make over knock offs. This is my second set of BFG AT's (KO2 this time) and these tires ride as good as or better than the stock Michelin's that came on my truck. The ride is actually less harsh than before and absorbs all kinds of potholes, bumps, and road wear with a soft feel. There is no more abruptness to the ride of my truck anymore which is surprising due to the E Load rating. Most E tires I have had in the past were much stiffer and felt like riding a dump truck due to the bouncing around. Not the case here. Also there is no shake or vibration in the wheels which is important to me as I spend a lot of time both in the woods and on the interstate. Noise - Honestly this part of the tire is a huge difference than the previous BFG AT's and one of the biggest upgrades in the design and quality that must have been made. I've had plenty of experiences with the MT K02's which were fairly loud if you didn't rotate them, and other all terrians that you heard hum down the road. My opinion is that the road noise is so minimal I did not notice any difference in going from a road tire to the all terrains. Towards the end of the rotating cycle you can hear a soft hum as you cruise down the road in lower speeds with the windows down. However I can't hear them with the windows up and have no problem talking on speakerphone while driving at any speed. I rotate every other tire change (so every 8000 miles). Handling - This tire has done very well in every condition I have been in. A few examples: - In my state, we have terrible roads and therefore when it rains the roads are very dangerous because of hydroplaning. I actually bought new tires (this tire) after almost losing control on the interstate from hydroplaning. Have not had that issue since and never felt a loss of control with these tires. - Off road: These tires go well in all muddy situations from rain soaked farm soil to damp clay. This tire (or any really) isn't the best with dryer or very wet clay as it will just cake into the tread. I haven't had that happen with these tires as they are pretty self cleaning in most conditions. - Did not slip on very steep and very slick boat ramp pulling a 7000lb boat out of the water in 2wd. - Never tested in snow as we rarely get any! Cons / Considerations I haven't had many issues with this tire but I bought it knowing what to expect. A lot of the negative points people make (about any item) are due to having different expectations or a lack of knowledge of the product and usually a combination of both. This review is about an All Terrain tire, with aggressive tread and is heavy, and has an E load rating. Knowing these facts are critical in basing an opinion before providing negative feedback. That being said here are mine: - The tires themselves are hard to clean around the edge due to sidewall tread pattern. Mud likes to stay in the little grooves. This is being picky but that mud is hard to get out without a decent scrub. - I rotate every 7.5k to 8k miles which is longer than recommended 5k. That last thousand miles will have a little bit of tire hum. This isn't a negative or a con to me but just something to point out. -If you drive gravel roads a lot and don't like rock dings, be weary of this tire. It loves to pick up gravel and sling it all over the place. This isn't a huge problem for me but if you are buying tires that stick out past fender you will throw them all down the side of your truck. - This isn't' really a negative but I would note fuel MPG did decrease. HOWEVER, I went to a much heavier tire and a bigger tire. I would say while MPG did decrease it was only by 1mpg. These tires are load E range and not necessarily designed to go on 1/2 ton trucks. They are made for the F250's or larger where there is need to have 75psi in the tires. Overall I've been very impressed with the quality of the new BFG AT KO2 and would recommend this tire over the originals. It is quieter, has a better ride, and handles equally as efficient as any all terrain I've driven on. If you ever had the originals, or any other subpar off road tire then do yourself a favor and purchase these. You get what you pay for and more.

I bought these a year ago for my 2011 Z71 1500. I had the original KO's on my truck before and absolutely loved them. These ones were great for the first 20,000 miles but have became very loud over the last couple months. It has gotten so bad I hate driving my truck places and am looking to get rid of them. My old set had about 50,000 miles before I replaced them in order to go on a trip in Oregon but these haven't lasted half the duration the old ones did and I am very disappointed.

I tried General Grabber AT3’s and Goodyear Wrangler Adventure AT w/Kevlar. Both vibrates horribly. Goodyear allowed me to return them after the warranty replacements were even worse. I’ve not been able to afford a set of KO2’s until now but wow, I have been missing out. These things are quiet, ride silky smooth in at all speeds, and my fuel mileage has gone up almost 2 mpg since having them installed. No other changes. I’m confused by this because these tires actually weigh a couple of pounds more (each) than the Wranglers. But, I’ll take it. I am hopeful with diligent rotations and alignment maintenance these things will last a long time on our 04 F250 SD.

Over the years I have owned at least a dozen or so sets of these. By far they are the toughest, quietest on the road, best traction in the dirt, on/off road tire I've ever owned. Some of these tires currently on my trucks are over 10 years old and still look and perform great with no sidewall cracking. I will never buy anything else for my 4x4 trucks.

I recently purchased my third set of these tires on a third different vehicle. Each set has performed flawlessly. I had a set of these on a TJ Jeep, Land Rover LR4 with 3" lift, and currently on a new F250. Road noise is minimal and comparable to most other A/T tires. I have not experienced any issues with balance. These tires perform well in rain and snow/ice as well as off road. The current set is 36" tall on factory 20" F250 wheels with no issues. I have gone over 60k miles on a set of these on my old Land Rover with a fair amount of tread left. I have convinced a number of friends to spend a little extra on these vs Yoko's and other AT/MT tires and so far all have been happy with the ride and wear. I will continue to purchase these as long as I am driving a truck/suv.

First, I don't work for Michelin and no involved with BFG in any way other than being a loyal customer. I have been buying nearly exclusively BFG tires since I was 16. I am now 29 and just bought something like my 12th set of tires for vehicles my wife and I have owned. Everytime with the exception of two sets I have bought a Michelin family tire. I absolutely love the All Terrain T/A KO so I was naturally a little worried about them making the change to another version. The previous AT KO I had on my 2009 Ram 1500 I took off with 77,247 and they had somewhere between 2 and 3/32nds left. I find the tires to be phenomenal and I never even had a flat during that run of a lot of miles. I am so far impressed with the KO2 it is quiet and rides really nice grip seems great but no winter driving yet. I do wonder why they stopped putting the rim protection bead on and why they would not offer a raised white letter anymore? I went down a size from 285/65R20 to 275/65R20 to save a little cash so commenting on MPG probably is not apples to apples but I have not noticed a change thus far. Quality like these tires include is a great piece of mind and when you calculate the cost per mile I think you will find they are a very good deal in reality.
