Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT245/75R16/E 120S Tire forMember photos
I would NOT buy this product again.
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.
worst tires ever.
just bought these for my 2102 silverado - worst tires ever. only have 30 miles on them and wish I never spent the money on these BFG tires. On the highway in a corner there is no stability to the truck. feels like it wants to spin out. These tires are not recommended AT ALL.
Better than Original BFG AT
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.
Wear differences
I have done a lot of information searching on this tire. BFG are the best tires i have owned. I believe the different reviews concerning tire wear is from the "tread feature" and mileage warranty. If you check your tires for severe rating with no mileage warranty or DT with mileage warranty I bet the fast wearing reviews have the softer compound tires. BFG T/A KO2 are the best
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review Binder. We appreciate your feedback.
Worst tires I’ve ever owned
So I bought these tires for my 2000 Ford F-350 I’m had no problem with them great tires but as soon it would rain they were horrible it was like driving on ice I’d go to take off from a green and all they would do is spin and I would hydro plan ever time there was a puddle and the truck would fish tail ever time I went around a turn but there not noisy like some A T tires but they suck in the rain
One Year Tires
I have a 2014 Ford Raptor. The original BFGoodrigch tires were awesome and lasted four years. Last year I replaced them with the TA KO2, and they only lasted one year. The tread is almost gone. I would not recommend these tires for a Ford Raptor.
We understand the All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires on your 2014 Ford Raptor 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.
Great traction and long tread life
In regards to tread wear, I have had these on both my 91 Cherokee and my 97 F-150. Every set of tires has lasted me 70K miles plus. Traction always very good in mud or sand and very good in snow. 1st set of (4) was in 1995 and last set purchased was 2015. Different generations of BFG A/T tires but always got me through anyplace I didn't belong.
So glad to hear of your great experience with BFGoodrich tires Howdy! It's much appreciated!
This Tire does everything I ask!
I have over 30,000 miles on this Tire and I still have enough tread for this Winter. I have gone many new places with a simple Tire upgrade and I will purchase these again. The only thing wrong with this Tire is it’s behavior on wet roads but ever where else, it fully succeeds!
Not for on road use
I have owned three previous versions of this tire on my Superduty and liked, but this set has a very soft rubber. I can easily bend the tread blocks with my fingers. I have worn 2/32 in 2400 miles. When I make a quick lane change the soft compound will rebound the truck the other direction when the lateral load is taken off. I will not want to tow a trailer with these tires until they wear down more, which should be in short order. I have not used them off road yet, but i bet they are very good off road. These should not be advertised as All-Terrain as the road is not a good use for these, and for the majority of people that is the main use. .
Won't Purchase Again
I bought these tires 3 months ago for my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. After searching days for tires and reading numerous reviews I thought these would do great in the many different seasons we have here in Ohio. Well they are absolutely horrible in the rain and snow slush and I have less than 3000 miles on them and they are already wearing tremendously. Definitely disappointed especially for the price and brand. Won't be buying these again.
