Several Weeks ago I purchased a set of KO2's for my 2012 F-150 King Ranch 4 X 4 (with Max tow package) to replace my factory highway tires. My truck is used in a wide range of driving conditions for South Louisiana, including high speed highway driving, local trips, towing my 9,500 lb travel trailer, and sometimes mud driving. I use my truck for my job as the director of the local levee district. These tires look and handle great. My fuel economy appears to be the same as before. Today, my new tires were put to the ultimate test. I was at the end of a new 3 mile dirt levee under constriction when it suddenly started raining very hard, which occurs frequently in South Louisiana in the summer time. This is the first time that I really needed to use my 4wd low setting. My new KO2's saved the day and I was able to get out of a potentially very bad situation. I honestly believe that I would have bogged down with my old tires and would have needed a tractor or bulldozer to pull me out. Great Tires!

I put the BFG TA/KO (old style) on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ in 2014, at about 40,000 on the vehicle. Just had to replace nearly 5 yrs later, at 132,000. That's 90,000 miles (set of 5 so still 72,000 average). The new TA/KO2's have improved treads which seem to channel water out from under the tire better and they are quieter and smoother on the highway. No decrease in economy noted. Hopefully, I will get 90,000 miles out of this set of 5! Great tire.

I buy this tires in Los Cabos BCS Mexico in July 2012, the road here is dirt like the Baja 1,000 race, i work in every corner of this town, installing air conditioners in my pickup truck... I grabbed screws and everything you can imagine from hitting him in the corners etc. If you want something that lasts and strong I recommend them.

First used this tire on a 1977 Jeep Cherokee Chief driving from Ft. Bragg, NC to Ft. Richardson, AK and 3 years of spirited and tough Alaska driving. Drove back to Alaska in 1981 in a 1955 Willys Jeep wagon in December and the tires took me through the worst winter could hand out once again. I've since used them on two other Jeeps, a 2001 Cherokee and a 2006 Commander and a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, all 4WD vehicles used for hunting, fishing, exploring as well as daily driving. Today they were installed on my 2017 Ram Rebel replacing the original A/T tires which were good highway tires but not good enough on snow and ice. Thanks BF Goodrich for protecting me and my family for 40 years and providing so many good memories along the way.

I have been a big fan of the original KO 1's. I would easily get 30,000+ miles out of a set. I purchased a set of the KO 2's and they are almost worn down to failing inspection. They did great in the snow, ice and mud. However, I only have about 15,000 miles on them. The tread life on the KO 2's are horrible compared to the originals. I rotate, drive reasonably easy, and stay mainly on the pavement. My vehicle is not a heavy one. I have several friends reporting to me the same thing. If you expected decent miles out of the KO 2's ,similar to the originals, you will be disappointed. Hey BF Goodrich, bring back the originals!

I live in Buffalo NY, one of the snowiest, iciest and whiteout-est places in the country. For many, many years I have used KO2’s for my winter tires. Dont believe the lies. There are two types of tires. Spring-summer-fall tires and WINTER tires. The winter tires must have the mountain with snowflake symbol cast into the sidewall. If it aint there it aint a winter tire. At least it wont save your life in a snowstorm. Dont cheap out. The guy in the ditch, cheaped out. Next, you want thinner tires to cut through the snow. Remember those old wooden sleds with the two metal rails that always sucked because they cut through the snow down to the grass and stopped dead? Thats what you want in a snow tire. Not a wide tire like a snowshoe. You need to contact the pavement to stay on the road. I use 265-65R18 on my Sierra’s and I always blow past the unprepared, wide tired or all season guys on the thruway and a lot of them are 4WD. These KO2’s are a softer grippy compound with a strong sidewall to grip the curves in the road and keep you square in your lane. You will not believe the control you have. Change these out to your summer tires after the snow is gone. You will burn them up on dry pavement. That saves you money in the long run. I get at least 6 winters out of mine. They have some road noise. A hum to remind you you are protected during the winter and a hum to remind you to change them out in the spring. It is not an annoying hum if you realize they are there protecting you. Tires and brakes are the most important things in your life while you are in your vehicle. Buy the best for both. Start with KO2’s. You will thank this review.

I've been using TAKO II's on all my trucks for years. Load Range E. Awesome tire for all round driving, off roading and snow. Chevrolet and GMC 2500HD 4x4's. We also pull a 34' fith wheel. I usually get around 40K miles with proper rotation, PSI and truck maintenance. Love these tires and would highly recommend them. The only tire I buy for my trucks.

I bought a set of 4 KO2s on July 2017 for my F150 Raptor. The ride is good and the handling is great especially in snow. They now have close to 50,000 miles and have decent thread remaining. I’m looking to replace with same tire next Spring. I have my dealer rotate and balance twice a year and check air pressure routinely.

These tires have been awesome! I have almost 10k on my set of 32's and they still look brand new. I have been in deep snow, compact snow, light mud, rocks, sand dunes and Tarmac. So far these tires have surpassed my expectations and have surprised me. I was first looking at KM2's but factored in the daily commute also. These tires are quite. Tarmac handling is is very good. I live in Seattle, WA. The rainy state. These tires are on my 1990 pickup 4x4. The rain performance is pretty awesome I'm not sure what some people are talking about hydro planing. I've gone 70-80mph through standing water and Heavy rain with full confidence and had never hydroplaned. Snow performance is good. I did get stuck once up in the mountains where I should have had no business playing around in. I did air them down to about 8-10psi with no beadlocks. (Desperate attempt, it was 6am and 0 degrees). Tires didn't debead even after driving on Tarmac to the cabin. Snow was 5feet high with deep snow banks on each side. With no winch, I was able to dig and rock it out. Even pulled my buddy half a mile back down the one lane road while he was stuck in a deep snow bank. 32's were just to small. As far as ice, no tire is going to be good unless you have studded tires or chains. I haven't experienced any "real" mud but light mud it handled great. These aren't mud terrain tires so I'm not expected them to be awesome. Sand dunes and beaches they had no problem in. Overall this tire I can say is the best "all-terrain" tire. People check your load rating and tire pressures and make sure you have them aired up correctly to get the most mileage out of them.

Installed on my '14 Ram 2500 in Feb. 2016. They Only lasted only 29k miles. They did not wear evenly even-though I rotated them and had my alignment checked 3x in the 13 months I owned them. I had one tire wear so badly that the store I bought them from offered to replace it at no charge but I opted to buy 4 new tires of a different brand instead.
