Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT285/75R16/E 126R Tire forBest tire
Absolutely solid tires. I have had 5 sets of these since 2001. A set of 33x10.5r16 on a 2001 Wrangler, 3 sets of 265/70R17's on a 2006 Tacoma, and a set of 285/70R17's on a FJ Cruiser. Always got 80K out of them, on highway and off-road, and always seem to have good tread left on them, very puncture resistant on the trails when aired down, and ride quality is very good.

Amazing Sidewall, Grippy, Awesome Design
Just bought these late Monday Night on 04/01/24 for my 08 Dodge Ram 1500 V6. I went from pathfinder h/t to these BFGs, I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT Regret buying these! I have Hercules Terra Tracs on my Yukon Denali and they just pair up so amazingly! Just to have both of my vehicles with All Terrains just makes everything so much better! Not only do they ride easier but also makes the drive feel safe! Impressive with these LTs because these don’t feel heavy like over LTs Ive been around. I highly recommend these if anyone is looking for something new and different!
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
BFG AT KO2
Over the years, I don't know how many sets of these tires I've had on several different trucks now, I've lost count. Just put a new set on our '07 Xterra. They are awesome and always serve me well. They work great in the desert areas where we live and ride good on the highway. Haven't let me down yet and I intend to keep using them.
I would never buy these tires again
I will never buy a set of these tires again. Within six months of getting these tires they started to go bald. Had them rotated several times to keep an even tread and they still went slick. The old BFG's are a better tire but I don't think I want to even go back to those after this experience.
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.
Great daily driver
Great looking tire for an 'urban cowboy' like me, but I still like to have the 'real deal' ; no 'fake' tires for me on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler ! Replacing my Mickey Thompson ATZ's that finally wore out. These look way tougher, and probably are in fact. Yet they are as quiet . Sidewalls are a bit firmer which is a good thing with my new 1.75 in lift so no swaying at all. No squirming either with this tread pattern, Looking forward to some snow up here in Toronto, Canada Only complaint is that they are or at least look smaller for their size. Not sure how that is possible as a spec is supposed to be a spec. My dealer told me to expect that and I did see it in the blogs, so I should not have been surprised.
Thanks Ugene, for taking the time to submit a review.
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.

KO2 - Even Better Than KO
Have had multiple sets of the prior-gen KO, good tire. Good load carrying, generally quiet though even with rotations they'd 'start' to make some noise by 40K miles. Good mileage life; got 59K (60K rated tire, then) on my Suburban including heavy towing. Bought KO2s for my JKU Wrangler, have put 20,000 miles on them in the last year. Still quiet as new. Rotate every 3K (excessive for some, appropriate for my use). No suggestion they'll wear out prematurely. I've found them to be very good in rain and snow. Much better in rain (wet/damp pavement) than the prior rim protectors I'd had installed. Your mileage may vary, however based on mine ;), I highly recommend KO2s. Pictures taken right after returning from a 3,200 mile trip, doing 10 days in Colorado Rockies, a third of those days off road traversing some pretty sharp rocky areas.
Thanks for the awesome review JT123! BFGoodrich customers ROCK!
