Disappointed
Installed 275/65R20 TA KO on my F350 at 30K miles. Now at 55K miles and running bald on one and close on the other of a pair. Rotated every time the vehicle went to dealer for prescribed service, and within Goodrich warranty requirements. Suspect early failure due to use on gravel road - we have 1.5 mile gravel road with 300 foot elevation gain. Rubber looks torn. Snow traction is good in light snow, but not in 12” or greater on slight incline.
BFG All-Terrain T/A
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.
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.
Tahoe Z71
I have a set that I am having to replace after putting on less than 40k miles on them. Really disappointed in the tread life and I will consider nittos next time. On the good side, I have been through so horrible terrain including gumbo like mud, loose sand and a little bit of ice and I have never been stuck once. I truly feel confident when driving my vehicle and I'm sure the tires have a lot to do with that.

Unbelievable
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.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review, Stan, and thanks for your commitment to BFGoodrich tires!
235/60R17
Very disappointed in these tires. I have had these tires since the first of July 2021 they were great for the first few weeks and now they have horrible road noise it sounds like a jet plane. I was on the phone with a friend and she asked if I had my windows down that is how loud they are. I have to turn the radio up loud just to hear it. They ride smooth just horrible road noise.

Great looking tires.. really get out of balance quick
Was really excited about putting these tires on my van. After 1 week, I had to take them back to my retailer to have them balanced again . Since... Have had them back five times in 3 months, every time with excessive amounts of weight added to balance(Not the rims). Took them to another dealer out of town and ended up having them tell me 14oz. of weight on 2 of 4 tires and that they were very out of round. Since have met another gentleman that had the same problem on his F250 pickup. Have also had one tire already replaced with another that has the same problem. Really disappointed how out of round these tires are. They grip the road great. Do well in gravel roads and dirt. But at 55-65mph they now have a howl and are going out of balance very quickly. Van was aligned and ball joints replaced before putting on the new tires and rims. Hoping BFG will take care of these. Maybe just a bad batch.
Best off-road tire I've ever had!
My son highly recommended these tires to me because of his history with them on his Isuzu Trooper. I put them on my Jeep Cherokee Trail-Rated Trailhawk 6 years ago. 23,000 miles on them now and I could not be more pleased with them! The tread is still almost like new. At least 10,000 of those miles have been off-pavement, and probably 2,500 miles on rough, rocky, sometimes steep backroads and trails, as I am an enthusiastic off-roader living in a central Idaho town surrounded by mountains. The traction is awesome in snow and mud, and the tougher sidewalls have been a real boon over sharp rocky trails. I have NEVER yet had a single flat!! They are also completely quiet and smooth on-highway for me. I thoroughly and enthusiastically endorse these tires! I will certainly buy them again if this set ever wears out, lol.
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.
