I was really excited to get my first set of BFG all terrains. I've wanted a set for a long time and finally pulled the trigger. I was quickly let down as these tires are absolutely impossible to balance. I have been to 3 different shops and none can get them balanced at interstate speeds. They all take a lot of weight to try and even get close to balanced so its not like you can put the good ones on the front and the bad on the back. Definitely not what I expected from what is supposed to be a top quality all terrain. Several rebalances and also trying different air pressures haven't helped at all. Causes steering wheel to shake at interstate speeds and you can feel the back tires "hop" due to imbalance. These tires have some good qualities and if they would balance correctly I would be very pleased. Several shops have tried and failed. I have other seats of less expensive mud tires that balance out with no issues, not sure what went wrong with these.

Has been my favorite tires for a long time . Just put a fresh set on my F250 today the ones I took off had 70000 miles on them and maybe 15000 left to go . Why replace them because they are made in the USA and I want to do something to keep it that way .

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.

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.

I have had three sets of these tires. I love them. I have had them on a 89 Jimmy, 05 Silverado, and 02 Land Cruiser. I drive them hard and have never had issues. If I get a nail I plug it and keep driving. Every vehicle I put them on I sell before I need new tires. I rode them very hard in Africa and had zero issues.

These tires have been on my 2009 JKUR for just shy of 8 years, nearly 38,000 miles, and the tread still looks new. I live in the northernmost Sierra Nevada mountains, get a lot of rain, a little bit of snow, and 105-110°+ in the summers. Aside from around town and a whole bunch of logging and forest roads, I'm taking it on mini camping trips to the desert, to the Klamath mountains, and I camped my way up Highway 1 from Eureka to the Olympic peninsula. I've also driven it to Blaine Washington and back a few times on the highway. Also a lot of highway driving down to the southern part of the Central Coast of California and both on and off-road and at Oceano Beach down in that area many times. I have occasionally towed a 12 ft x 6 ft cargo trailer with two Harley-Davidsons or a Harley-Davidson and a Triumph down to Santa Maria and back which is an 850 mi round trip, (and Interstate 5 has absolutely horrible craters in the lanes, particularly the right lane where I'm usually located when towing). I've also towed a few different military trailers with either cargo, camping gear, or sometimes a flatbed military trailer with a single motorcycle. I've been in the habit with my past few vehicles of purchasing six wheels and tires and I do six wheel rotations and rotate them approximately every 5,000 mi. I run LT35x12.50-17R on AEV Pintler wheels on my 4.5" lifted Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited and during the listed mileage I've been running ARB Old Man Emu Sport shocks and Metalcloak true dual rate coil springs on a primarily Synergy equipped short arm system and a Dynatrac Pro Rock 44U front axle housing with RCV axles and Reid Bros. steering knuckles and Timken unit bearings, Ten Factory rear axles and CJ Tatton double cardan drive shafts. I looked at some of the one star ratings on here and read with their road, and I don't understand how they wore their tires out so quickly. Both the sidewalls and the tread on all of my tires look absolutely excellent. Being as how these are E rated tires and the OEM tires are C rated tires, I run approximately 26 psi on the street. If I'm towing a trailer, particularly if it's somewhat heavy, I bring the rear tires up to 28 or 29PSI, maybe 30 at the max. And occasionally I'll bump the front tires up a couple of pounds as well.

after running the bfg all-terrain t/a ko for the past 5 years on 2 f 350s and a exployer and being completely satisfied I needed a new set and was told the new t/a ko2 may be replacing old t/a ko. so I did not want to buy a set of tires that couldent be replaced if one of them got an unfixable flat. so I bought a set of the 285/65/20 T/A KO2 to replace my set of wore out 285/65 20 T/A KO. what a disappointment! what used to be a rugged beefy looking tire that stuck out and accented any truck (witch is why most folks buy them) now leaves a gayping hole in my wheelwells even though there the same size! how can the same size tire weigh 3 lbs less and be 1 inch smaller in dia. yet cost more? BFG if it ant broke don't fix it!

Several Weeks ago I purchased a set of KO2's for my 2012 F-150 King Ranch 4 X 4 (with Max tow package) to replace my factory highway tires. My truck is used in a wide range of driving conditions for South Louisiana, including high speed highway driving, local trips, towing my 9,500 lb travel trailer, and sometimes mud driving. I use my truck for my job as the director of the local levee district. These tires look and handle great. My fuel economy appears to be the same as before. Today, my new tires were put to the ultimate test. I was at the end of a new 3 mile dirt levee under constriction when it suddenly started raining very hard, which occurs frequently in South Louisiana in the summer time. This is the first time that I really needed to use my 4wd low setting. My new KO2's saved the day and I was able to get out of a potentially very bad situation. I honestly believe that I would have bogged down with my old tires and would have needed a tractor or bulldozer to pull me out. Great Tires!

Bought them last fall for my overlanding rig, ran them hard for over a year now & put ~20,000 miles on them. I will likely re-buy another set in 285/70R17 (C-rated) once tread runs out on the current set. Overall very happy and confused why a lot of people in the community keep thrashing this tire ... the below is fully based on my own experiences, I do not claim to be an off-road expert nor did I have a lot of comparisons with other truck tires. I paid for my tires. PROs: + Ability off-road ... I have been throwing rock gardens/shelves, deep sand, muddy forest roads, desert roads, deep snow at these tires and never had any traction issues off-road. If other tires are even better I haven't been in a situation (yet) where that would've mattered ... the areas where I feel they excelled at (even vs. other off-roaders I met on the trails) were: (1) deep snow and (2) deep sand - others got stuck and we didn't + Quiet on the highway, light, didn't affect fuel consumption much (~1 mpg) when I switched from the stock tires in 255/75R16 to 265/70R17 KOs (they are the lightest tire in this class ... which is noticeable in terms of performance, breaking, MPGs) + Even wear & durable: 20,000 miles, rotation every 5,000 miles, balancing after 15,000 miles - still enough tread for another 20-30k + Looks: Subjective but I like them over a lot of other A/T tires CONs: - Tendency to hydroplane in wet conditions - scary, but manageable - Traction on packed snow or ice is not great - didn't run into these conditions off-road but on regular streets in the winter I got into some sketchy situations - They wander a bit when changing lanes at higher speeds (>75mph) ... but that's to be expected when getting C-rated tire on a ~6,000lbs rig (fully loaded) Some other thoughts: > C-rated over E-rated tire all day ... been pushing them aired down on sharp rocks and haven't had any flats or cracks in the tire > the weight does matter ... especially on our somewhat underpowered Tacomas (even with re-gear) ... it's nice to have a bit of extra punch vs. some other A/T tires that are 20% heavier > In dry / sandy states these tires are really hard to beat. In some rainier / wetter states like Washington there are other tires that perform better in wet conditions ... but so far not enough to change my mind ;)

I purchased these tires almost 2 years ago and they have barely worn. These ko2 tires perform so great in the snow! Honestly these tires are perfect. Definitely the best all terrain tire ever made. i purchased nitto tires before and they suck in snow.
