Bought 265-70-17s for my new Tacoma, was super excited having owned older version of the ATs and loved the new look. From day 1 they were impossible to balance, have 3+ ounces of lead on 3 of the tires and over 4 on the 4th. They have a bad crown in them even though being run on a 17 x 8.5 rim(should be the correct size as far as I know). Though somewhat balanced they ride super rough on roads, like riding on tires made of wood, picking up every bump despite having a custom Bilstein suspension. I would not buy these again and I am looking for other good AT options to replace these bad tires with.

Tire size 285/75/R16 mounted on a 6.5" Rim. These tires performed great! Up until about 2/32's tread they did great in rain, snow, and regular driving conditions. I never used the tire for off road purposes as I have a 2WD Truck. I did mainly on road driving and towing a trailer about 4-5 days a week. The few times I was off road they performed well in everything but mud. I always ran max psi in the rear tires so that may have contributed to poor tread life, but it was mainly an issue with towing. I got around a year out of these tires or about 25,000-30,000 miles. I would recommend this tire for anyone not regularly towing a trailer. Great performance and if I have a vehicle that doesn't tow, I would happily purchase these again.

Just upgraded my 4Runner - selected these based upon a few reviews and, honestly, their aggressive look. What I got was much, much more: phenomenal on road performance, super rain/wet performance, super snow performance, no buzz on highway, and more traction than I could ever use.

My comment is about the new BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 in size 285/75-16 Load Range E. I don't really like them. Especially their ride quality, meaning noise, smoothness, and rut handling. I have had them on my 6000 pound midsize truck for almost 30 days now and have put over 1000 miles on them. I have tested them on highway, in the rain, off road, in packed snow, and on solid ice from freezing rain. I previously ran the BFG All terrain KO in 285/75-16 load range D. I have been through 3 sets of those with very good results. They KO2's were purchased as a new set of 4 matching tires and installed at a large well known tire retailer. I have tested them at 40 psi, and 38 psi. My opinion of the new BFG All Terrain KO2 tires compared to the original BFG All Terrain KO tires: The good; The KO2's; Had better off road traction on a dirt hill climb. Have as good or better traction in packed dry snow (20 degrees or less). Have about the same traction on solid ice (under 20 degrees). Are tougher abrasion wise, especially the sidewalls, tested that in volcanic rock. Have about the same road noise only on Smooth pavement. Seem to clean out rocks better. Seem to do better in the rain. Sidewall appearance is better. The bad; The KO2's Ride rougher over course pavement, bumps, and on dirt roads, meaning harsh, or jarring. Are noticeably louder on rough or course aggregate pavement, bumps, and dirt roads. Track poorly in ruts or along edges in pavement; this was very noticeable on rutted asphalt, on dirt trails, and on packed snow when changing lanes. Pick up and throw larger rocks then the original KO's did due to wider tread spacing. Required more weight to balance than the KO's. I think that the original KO's in load range D are a noticeably better highway tire because they had a better ride quality. They were quieter over rough pavement and softer riding over bumps and dirt roads, and they also tracked better in ruts. Not sure if this is because the new KO2's are E rated, or because of the tread design, or from the new compound. I rated them as good because I think that they would be a good tire in certain applications, like on heavier vehicles, or in the desert.

I bought a new 4x4 truck in 2012. It had 20 inch rims on it and I thought at the time the tires were not 4x4 tires (Pirrelli Scorpions ATR) well they were good on the street but after hunting the other day, not even getting off county roads, I had two flats. That was it. Searched the internet for tires but found only passenger grade tires for my rims. I go to my tire dealer and he says BF Goodrich has one, I'm thinking regular T/A, He says no KO2. LT 275 55 R20. Bought them fast and could tell the difference right away. they stuck to the road better in curves (didn't feel like oversteer). Have driven through some mucky mud and didn't even need the 4 wheel drive. Great tire so far, will have to see in time the wear.

Putting my second set on my truck this week. Got 85,000 miles in five years out of the first set. Drive paved roads and construction sites daily. Rugged and dependable. Only have one plug in a tire after five years on construction sites. Picked many screws and other debris out of the treads, but they are tough. Smooth ride and great traction in snow, mud or loose excavations. Only tire I will ever put on my truck.

The BFG All-Terrain T/A has always been my favorite AT tire. Have used the on a Datsun pickup, a Jeep Wrangler, a Jeep Cherokee, and currently have the new K02 on my GMC K1500 Suburban. Have tried lesser quality/less expensive tires, but always end up coming back to these.

They are great off roading in the southwest desert but very difficult to balance for highway speeds. I think I finally got it worked out. Long story short: go to an expert who cares, takes pride in their work, and does hunter road force balancing.i

I shopped carefully for the right tire. I do a lot of off-roading in all kinds of terrain, from rock crawling, dirt, gravel, snow, and mud (though I try to avoid deep mud). These tires have been excellent off road and on. Obviously, if you're looking for a dedicated mud tire, you can do better elsewhere. But if you tackle a bit of everything and you don't want tires that are loud on the highway, these are for you. They aren't any louder than the stock street-biased tires that came on the Jeep. I have been extremely pleased with them and would definitely buy again.

starting off i have to say I have never liked the looks of the KO tires but having tried every brand of all terrain and mud tire out there I decided to give them a try. Unbelievable is all I can say. I have 80,000 miles on them now and still life left. They preform great on and off the road. I guess you can't always go by looks.
