Upgrade
Just put these on my new crew cab 4wd Silverado. Good interstate feel but I bought them for off road in national parks etc. and for snow and ice driving. I am retired and travel cross country for enjoyment. I need tires to meets a road warrior demands. Highway, rock trails, mud logging roads, dirt and gravel roads, as well snow and ice in the mountains ranges and high plains. This new tire gives me the strength and durability I want while maintaining good highway feel.
BFG AT KO FAN
I have had three sets of the old BFG AT KO. On and 94 Jeep, 02 Tahoe and 01 F150. They were all great tires with good traction in Montana's seasons. My 01 F150 does a lot of time hunting in the mountains, crossing creeks and plenty of snow and gravel. I've had two flats in 15 years running AT KO tires and they came on my 01 with over 50K on that set. When in came time to put new tires on my (wifes) 2011 F150, I chose the K02 to replace the factory tires. My wife loves the compliments on the aggressive look. The new KO2s are better than the old ones in almost every way and I immediately replaced the tired and worn KOs on my 01 with the KO2. I have been equally impressed. Great traction, quiet, better ride quality. My only complaint is that they are rock throwers where I don't recall the old ones throwing rocks. Not a big deal. I also can't comment on the tread life as they are fairly new. On my 11 F150 the gas mileage did decrease some over the factory tires. But the factory tires were garbage and I pull a 28' Travel Trailer with this pickup and I am willing to give up a couple mpgs for the benefits of the KO2.
30,000 mile tire!
My raptor is less than 1 1/2 years old and has 21,000 miles on it. Mostly highway miles with some off road and no towing. They have 1/3 tread left. My brother bought his raptor a few months after mine and has 30,000 mostly highway miles on it for work and his are smooth. We like the tire otherwise. We've had several raptors with them wearing these tires most of the time. When we are off-road they seem to do well in most conditions but they do not do well for mileage wear.
Todd, sorry to hear you're not happy with the mileage. We'd like to get involved. One of our Consumer Care Team members will be in touch with you. Meanwhile, you are welcome to contact us at 866-866-6605.
Tread
These tires are awesome I have a little over a year with them and they look new ride quality is amazing. I thought they looked small on my truck and honestly feel I could have gone bigger lol. "they look like they are wearing" I told a friend he goes "what you have like 3 years left of tread those things are beefy" all in all good tire money well spent
Awesome, Greenmachine! Thanks for taking the time to submit a review.
BF Goodrich AT KO2 RAM 1500 review
After having had 3 other brands of tires on my RAM 1500 I gave these a try because it's what most people use for this truck in Michigan. I've tried them in rain, gravel, snow and daily commuting. I can not speak to their longevity. I can say that there is no road noise to speak of. I will say that traction is excellent and you will feel confident in the vehicles handling. They look amazing and I love the tread design. The reason I waited to try these was they are a bit more expensive than other options, but if you buy online you will find the best deal. This was my first time doing that with these tires and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. I had them within a couple days of placing my order and saved considerably. There is only one negative thing I've noticed and that is gas mileage. Yes, it will go down with this tire and I'm sure it varies, I lost about 1 mpg. You have to realize that any tire you have on a truck year round is a compromise. I'd rather loose a tiny bit of fuel economy than put my truck sideways on for lack of traction. So this won't detract from my five star rating. I have yet to try these on icy commutes, but that's an experiment I'm willing to participate in with the special winter rating. I don't know if they'll match the Blizzacks I've owned for winter conditions, but remember the idea is compromise for a tire one can run year round. It's a really good tire for the price point. If you're on the fence about these, all I can say is they have not disappointed me yet.
Best AT Tire out there ... and I have tried a many!
I replaced the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KO on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Willy's Wheeler with these and it is like a completely new car. NO tire noise. None. Of course that might be easy compared to a set of MTs that are worn and are as noisy as a tank division passing by. Love these and thye will also go on my F-150 that has Falken Wild PEaks on it now.
Tread wear
I have 25000 mile on these tires and they are worn out. For the money I payed for a set of these tires You would expect a little more mileage out of the. I have purchased these tires before and had good luck with them but not this set. I'm looking at trying a different brand this time. They say 50000 mile warranty but dont expect getting that.
We understand the All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires on your vehicle did not meet your expectation in terms of mileage. A member of our Consumer Care team will be in contact with you. You may also reach our office at 1-866-866-6605.
Real world gravel expectations
I’ve put 38k miles on these so far & they are getting pretty worn out. Will change out at 40k miles. I’ve been running them on my company pickup checking wells for almost a year now. Starting & stopping constantly. Rough washed out lease roads & miles & miles of Oklahoma gravel. I drive roughly 150+ miles a day with most of my time spent on gravel. Tires showed wear fast but then held up very well after initial gravel chips. Wore perfectly even across all 4 tires. Rotated every 5k miles. My pickup weights roughly 8500lbs. Anything over 35k miles checking wells out here is a very good lifespan on any tire I’ve ran. I had very low expectations initially but was pleasantly surprised with the performance
Great tire
I have had three sets All Terrains on my last two trucks. Smooth as my Michelin’s and good for 50-60K miles. Will replace my Michelin’s in 30 days to the K2s. My son likes them so much he installed them on wife’s new truck. These guys with problems must have bent wheels or thrown wheel weights. Love them!!! I tow a 8K lbs of trailer 12k miles per year
Thanks for the awesome review Eldoman. BFGoodrich customers ROCK!
I really don't understand why so many dislike them
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 ;)
