Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT265/75R16/E 123R Tire forSo far so good
This is my second set of these tires for my 85 Suburban better known as "the sub". Ran the last set for 50k+ Over the last 12 years. Not my every day commuter car more my Home Depot, dump, skiing, hunting rig. These tires have seen it all and still look good. Only one repair all that time on a hunting trip (figures). A large screw caught up with me. That was several years ago. Could still run them but figured about time for a new set. I'll stick with BFGs.
Awsome is behind
One of the best tires I have owned.Great ride,traction,style,and the balance on a big tire is top shelf.If you have been waiting for a tire that can take you to town in style or through the back woods to the top of the mountain with no worries The Wait is over the k02 is here.
Nice tire but wears quicker than expected.
Have these on a Classic 2007 Sierra 2500 LBZ. Were excellent tires at first, off-road performance was better than expected with newer tread. Read some of the reviews with people saying they have 50-60k on them and still have plenty of tread life left. I do some minor towing of a 21 foot wake boat on the weekends and occasionally some bigger stuff. I have approximately 16,000 miles on them and they are definitely past half way worn. Seems I might be lucky to get 25k out of them. I do have a locker in the rear which I know accelerates wear, but I figured I'd easily get 30k out of a set compared to others. Rotated regularly and pressures always kept up. Tires are wearing evenly. They are a nice tire for the most part. They ride comfortably for an E range on a 2500 and are wearing evenly compared to a lot of other tires I've seen.But now as they are worn down, off road performance has drastically gone down and they just seem to be wearing much faster than most people say. I do come to expect some accelerated wear with the truck being a 2500, having a locker and a somewhat heavy foot, but not getting 20-25k out of set when others are reporting 50k+.

Great tire
Overall great tires about to buy another set. I have a set of 35 12.50. 17 10ply e rating on my 2013 ram 2500 cummins. I am now at 63,000mi and still have decent amount on all except one, and it's only slick because I just had to hook up to someone on a rock road and it chewed it up. Being that it is a 10ply ride is a bit rough and I went from 20mpg with street tires to around 17mpg with these but not something to make me want to change tires. Performance in mud is very suprising considering it is only an all terrain. I hade them drag me thru a slick top field with a six horse trailer loaded down with 3 horses and camping gear. Defiantly getting another set, but most likely will go to a 37 12.50 17.
Best on/off road combo tire made!
If you DONT have a 4wd vehicle AND go off roading then this is NOT the tire for you! If you do this is the best on and off road tire you can get for the money. The sidewalls on this tire are the strongest of any tire on the market and can easily handle the toughest enviroment. If your looking for a good on and off road tire that is quieter then most other tires this is it. If your looking for a quiet tire, Then consider not going off road and getting yourself a street tire. These tires were made for OFF roading using a daily driver type vehicle. If you dont go off road dont buy this tire. The traction for this tire off road as well as in the snow is awesome. Off road tire wear on this tire is better then most other tires. On road tire wear for this tire isnt the best. Do NOT expect more then 30,000 miles out of this tire. Buy this tire if you are going off road often on a vehicle that you also want to drive on road frequently. Again DO NOT buy this tire if you dont go off road for more the. 30% of your total yearly driving.
Amazing AT tires!
These are some serious All-Terrain tires! They're really the best of "all worlds". I spend most of the time on pavement and they handle the road like street tires. I like the way M/T tires look but hate the way MT's handle on road. These AT's have a real nice aggressive stance. My concerns with E Rated tires is that they would be too hard for every day use. I run these at 35 psi and they are not too firm for the road. I love the fact that these are also snow rated - This signifies that these tires have been tested for packed snow. MT's gather the packed snow around the nobs and you have poor traction. The KO2's are tried and true! I'll stick with them.
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!
Never could have made the trip home out this tire!
I purchased 4 of the All_Terrain T/A KO2 tires for my 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. We had to take my granddaughter's best friend home to Maine from upstate NY. They got about 1 mile using a rental AWD car only to find it couldn't even go up an incline with the show on the ground. They very slowly came back and used my Jeep for the trip. Trip went well getting to Maine... then even more snow came down resulting in most of the Mass Pike being closed due to the number of accidents, etc. Thus the switch to the two lane roads and while we passed a lot of vehicles off the road, or or unable to go up simple very gradual inclines we never had an issue. Even a number of 4 wheel drive pickups had problems with the snow and ice. The tires on my Jeep did exactly what the ads say - provided traction in snow and ice! It's easy to road test a tire but to count on the tires holding the road, getting you through the night back home is a different kind of test! I race sports cars thus have a feel for how good a tire is. I never really cared about what tires were on my Jeep till this time I counted on them getting me through the night and the snow storm! The local Mr Tire store convinced me to buy them as they were the best - their word - for the Jeep even if your not off roadi'ng it! They are amazing tires! This is also one of the few times I have ever reviewed a set of tires!
K02
I been buying bf goodrich for a long long time, mid 1980's. The all-terrain on a seperate set of rims and bf goodrich TRUCK TA for non winter months back around 1986. (since mergers, Truck T/A no longer available) I wanted the solid white letters and selection as I recall was BF Goodrich only. Also my muscle car also had T/A on it. Anyways I have close to 40,000 on the ko2 and they are at 3/32, very noisy, dispite 5000 mile rotation and no uneven wear. How I see other comments stating many more miles on them is confusing to me. Anywhy, since the mid 1980's I think a change in choice is coming. Every time I bought a new 4-wheel vehicle, i worked with the dealer to get the tires swapped out for the bf goodrich. Not satisified.

Street, Mountains, Desert
I've had several sets of these tires on a number of vehicles including Jeeps and Toyota Tacomas. Every few years when they finally wear out, I research the market thoroughly for the best tire that can handle both tough off road jeep trails and provide a quiet, solid drive on a highway and I inevitably return to KO2's. Yes, you can find better rock crawling tires and yes, you can find better street tires, but you can't find better tires that will be 9/10 in both. Over the years, I bought a couple alternatives, none came close. If you spend 80% of your time on street/highway, but still need aggressive tires for the desert and mountain trails, this is the tire you want.
