Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - 35x12.50R17/E 121R Tire forSUPER TIRE
I have owned at least three sets of rear tires but in the 15 inch configuration. Although these aren't the KO2 series, they still are a super great tire. BF rated this tire at 50,000 miles. I have put as many as 90,000 miles on a set of them and still had tread on them when I bought new ones. I owned a 93 Chevy conversion van and I took it where some guys wouldn't take their four wheel drive trucks. Awesome traction in snow, rain and sand. I used this van to go deer hunting in the back woods of my state. Keep making a great tire BF!!!
Thanks for the awesome review Trucker44!
Strong and dependable but functionally worn out at 30k miles.
Very tough in Colorado and Utah off-road conditions in our AWD Transit van built out for off-roading. Not rock crawling. They were functionally worn out at 30k miles, 4/32". Not enough for the warranty but CO requires 6/32" for snow and we need that for the overlanding conditions we encounter.

So far amazing
Bought these for my '08 f150 4x4 for regular city use and off roading during deer season. They look great, are quiet (not sure what was wrong with the negative sound people), and handle amazing. They grab everything and grip it like a monkey on a banana. I will update this post after I test them out next weekend deer hunting.
Hands-down best all-around truck tire on the market. Period.
I bought my most recent set of the KO2's in December 2021. They're on my 2006 Chevy 1500 Z71. I have a little over 60,000 miles on them now and it's about time for another set. This next set will be my 4th set of these on 2 different trucks, and I've always got at least 60,000 miles every set. These are hands down, no competition the best all around tire on the market. I drive a half ton truck so I really don't need the 10 ply rating as far as weight goes so to offset for ride comfort I've always ran these tires at 28 psi and have never seen any downsides as a result. I've never had a tire failure from one, even driving them low (5-8 psi) without realizing it due to the super stiff carcass. Even with 0 psi in one the rim will still not go to the ground. They're a little pricey but are more than worth the trade off with how long they last as well as being the most quiet smoothest riding off-road tire on the market. I highly recommend to anyone looking for the best all around truck tire there is.
Worst Tire Ever
Have these tires on my truck, and unfortunately they came with the truck. I have had my tires balanced about 6 times within the past 6 months, also had them road force balanced twice and even replaced a tire. I drive mostly highway (85%) and they shake very bad at higher speeds. Cant wait for these things to run raw so I can get me some better tires.
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.
Excellent in MN year round!
I've had these tires on my truck since fall of 2017 and ran them year round. No issues at all driving in blizzards, deep snow or ice. Did great in heavy rain. Also did some light off reading and they handled great in dirt, mud and rocky terrain. They're a comfy and quiet ride on the highway. They've way outlasted the warranty as I've got about 70,000 miles on them now. I'd love to buy another set but the prices have went up too much.
Hi Kat, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. Stay tuned for a promotion we have coming up soon!
Terrible Treadwear
2006 Toyota Tundra DC with LT275/70R17 BFG AT KO2. I was always skeptical about these tires. Then the new tread design came out, I watched all their hype videos and decided to give them a shot. It seemed they put a good deal of effort into the new design. Boy, was I wrong. These tires are great for on road use, but that's about it. I've heard great stories about how people were getting 50k+ miles out of BFG's, I've got 23k miles on them and they are shot. I got stuck on a boat launch this weekend and had to be pulled out. I didn't realize how bad the tread wear had gotten. 15/32 tread depth should only be allowed for on-road tires, not tires marketed as AT's. I feel bad because I've been recommending these tires for the last 2 years. They were rotated every 6k miles. Looks like I will be going back to Mickey Thompson ATZ in the next couple of months, at least I know I will get at least 40k with them like I have in the past. STAY AWAY FROM THESE TIRES, THEY ARE JUNK!!!
lasted 1 trip. less than 500 miles
I just replaced my mickey thompson tires with bfg ko2 in 37". On my first trail ride one of my front tires got a torn sidewall. I have done this trail many times its not a really tough one. Never had a flat before. I was hoping these has good sidewalls but i guess not.

Great Tires!
I do a lot of highway driving and these tires have been giving me incredible mileage. These were the original tires on my 2014 Toyota Tundra. I have gotten 80k miles off each set. Rotate every 5k miles and worry free. I just hit 320k miles and about to put on my 4th set. Highly recommend!
