Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT265/75R16/E 123/120R Tire forGreat off road traction
These came on my new JL Rubicon. Just came back from Moab-awesome fraction on the trails. Barely needed the lockers. Did cut them up pretty bad,chunks knocked out, gave them heck on the obsticalls. Over 50% ware in only 5000 miles, but all miles are off road & super tough trails on 16 psi. They hook up like super glue. Did more than I expected.Go anyware-period.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review Rocking rubi! .
11,000 Miles Needed 4 tires
i am a landscaper and snow removal company and I Bought these tires November of 17 and went all winter in them. great in snow in temperatures 40 and below to -5. then when April came around and it hit 65+ i chewed through the tires in a month. May 1st 2018 I had 11,254 miles on them and they were bald. Very Disappointed in them. went back to the All terrain T/A and get 35,000 plus miles based on towing 5/6 days a week.
On the Fence
My first set was the K.O. the truck (2003 f150 7700 series) loved them so much (lasted 110,000km). Mainly highway driving, light 4x4ing and hauling the truck camper (which weighed in at 2500lbs). Threw on the K.O.2 in the fall of 2016. Now that I have 20,000km on them I just did their second tire rotation, judging by the wear, I doubt I'll get more than 60,000 or 65,000. I'm not going to lie, not super impressed with the snowflake. As far as handling in the winter (Calgary, Canada), I haven't noticed a real difference between the K.O. and the K.O.2 They should have left them alone. Great tire, bad tread life.
We drove 120,000 miles from the East to West coast!
We purchased our Ko2 ALL Terrain tires when our car had 88k miles off the coast of SC. We drove to the California coast threw 30+ state and national parks. Shipped our SUV to Maui HI, and drove back across the country stopping at more parks. Our SUV has 201k miles and we are purchasing our new set of BFGoodrich All Terrain tires!! Simply the best tire on the market.Thank you!
Terrible tread life
Currently have 28000 kilometers on my raptor and these tires were the original Baja champion ko2s that came with the truck and they're currently sitting at 20% tread life, mostly even wear. How is this possible? They're rated for 50k miles, this is just over a quarter!
Daniel, we understand that you are frustrated. While there is no guarantee that you will obtain 50k, our team is glad to obtain more information and help with a solution. We will be in touch via email, or you can contact us at 866-866-6605 for assistance.
Poor quality tire
I bought my tires on 4/2017. These tires are all almost bald. Went every month for pressure checks and rotated tires and they do not last when you spend a grand you should get more than 16 months on these tires. Will never touch bfg ever again. Even my factory tires lasted longer.

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.
BFG KO2 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
I recently threw some 275 17Rs on my method wheels and immediately tried to push the tires pretty hard. At high psi they corner on tarmac decently but transmit every bump right to the cabin. I keep them at around 32psi and they do roll under a little if I take a corner to fast but they arent really meant for that. I dont know about wear life yet but expect good things when looking at the old KOs. I was lucky enough to use the tires recently in both sandy conditions and muddy conditions. They did great in both and are 100x better in the mud than the outgoing KOs. As far as issues go they love to hold onto rocks until you hit 35mph where they then release them making the most harsh cabin noise from rocks being thrown into the wheel well. The other complaint is tire noise. At the psi I keep them at they are about as loud as my magnaflow and sound pretty rad until you take a 100 mile highway trip where it gets pretty annoying. In conclusion great tires with few caveats. I hope they will last me a good amount of miles considering the price tag.
Balance problem
I replaced the tires on my 2018 raptor after 45,000 miles. I should have gone with another brand because these tires will not balance. They are the worst riding tires and I have had them balanced multiple times with no improvement. I wish I had never purchased them. They are a terrible ride and I can’t wait until I replace them. I will probably replace them before they wear out. I am very disappointed with them
