Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - 35x12.50R17/E 121R Tire forAwful
I’ve always ran these tires on all my trucks throughout the years, the last two or three trucks I have put them on have been getting harder and harder to balance. Just put a set on my 23 ram power wagon and they are god awful, nobody can balance him them. BFG you have one job and make the tire round. Never will purchase a BFG product again

Inconsistent wear
Mounted on a 3500 cummins. Rotated every 7000 miles, tires are at 33,000 miles currently. Two of the four tires are wearing extremely fast. I ordered these as one of the first people in my area. First, only two tires were delivered unfortunately, and the shop mounted them. These two tires have >50% tread still. 2 weeks later, the other tires came in, brought the truck back in, and now those tires have worn very fast (almost no tread left). Tires have been rotated carefully (too pricey not to!) but I can't stop the 2 from wearing quickly. It seems to me there are inconsistencies in the manufacturing process that need to be figured out. I've had alignment checked, but the truck is sound. Besides that, they work great offroad, and in snow/ice
Simply amazing
I have put these on my 93 Silverado Z71. I have put these on my 95 S10 ZR2 I have put these on my 2010 Tacoma TRD off road I have put these on my 2016 jku Rubicon. I do a lot of road travel, as well as off-road, as well as things I probably shouldn't do, and I have never been let down. I have pushed them to the 90 plus mile mark on the turnpike and crawled with them down at Windrock off-road park. I have yet to find something these tires could not handle
Fantastic tire
I have been buy one he KO2’s ever since they came out had two sets on my nitro first set lasted me 4 years and second set year half great shape when I sold it to buy my truck. When I bought my truck two months later bought a set for the truck and ran them for 4 years never had a problem. Six trips to Michigan couple trips to West Virginia, back and forth to work and numerous trips hauling cord wood and traveling around during hunting season. I put my tires to work, I have been in mud, deep snow, thick slush and ice. Never had an issue hardly have to put my truck in 4WD in harsh driving conditions. September I’ll be putting on another set. Just wish I could get them with raised white letters in my side 275/60R20. Would look so much better. Keep make these tires. I’m a big BFgoodrich fan I only my BfGoodrich tires.
Everything cracked up to be
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.
Good tire
I bought the Ko2 tire the year it was released in Canada, October 2014 and have them on a RAM 1500 4X4. I wanted a AT tire I could run all year but needed the winter snowfake rating for legal reasons due to highway travel to Cariboo region of BC. I've been pretty happy with them overall. I've rotated them every 5000 km and they have worn pretty even, with only about 45,000 km on them now. I have used them in some pretty heavy snow conditions, and happy with performance, though not as good obviously as a dedicated winter tire. My off-roading has been pretty mild, mostly logging roads, a few rough goat tracks, a little bit of mud. Handled everything thrown at them, though I am not as hard on them as some may be. They make more noise than the original OEM tire on my RAM, and the fuel efficiency went down a bit, but not too bad in either respect and it is to be expected from a more aggressive tread. I've noticed quite a few bad reviews on this site, but my experience has been good, and I have noticed a few of the bad reviews state that the users have been using these tires for many years, some back in 2010. I think these reviews are confusing the regular T/A KO with the KO2's as to the best of my knowledge the KO2's were released in 2014 when I first bought mine. All said I would buy these tires again and would recommend them to others. When it comes time for replacement it will either be more KO2's or maybe Wrangler Duratracs due to my need for the winter snowflake.
Really Pleased!
I recently purchased a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ and it came with brand new BFGs. Been on a couple moderate trails and the tires handled the terrain very well. The Jeep is my daily and when driving on surface streets and the freeway they are quiet. I highly recommend the BFG AT KO2 Baja Champions.
The BEST tires I have EVER owned
I installed these on my 2005 Ford F150 a little over a year ago, and I LOVE these tires. They ride like a dream, handle like a sports car tire with hardly any noise. I rotate mine at EVERY oil change which is around 3,000 miles and they still look brand new. My truck rides better than my wife's car and the off road traction is amazing. BFG, you have my business with a superior product. Thanks
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. .
Great tire in all scenarios
I bought these back in September. 285/65r20. On 2010 f350. I driven maybe 2,000 miles or so and they have been nothing but great. First I have driven in snow with just weight in the bed. And not once in that 3inches of coated roads had use 4wd even going up hills! But when we had a blizzard 12inches of snow I used 4wd and these just plowed through it no slipping course I did only 30-35 no faster. But still they were outstanding. The weight helps because it weighs down the rear tires. Second just last week I was driving to Maine. And hit a nail yes the nail punctured the tire. But at 75mph the tires didn’t cause any front end issue etc. it was able to be safely driven to the side of the highway. Where when the tow truck came he was able drive it on the trailer and all the tire needed was a patch. These are outstanding tires. The sidewall didn’t rip. And the tire didn’t do what you expect. Which is blowout. I highly recommend these.
