I have a 2006 Silverado 1500HD LT 6.0 50k miles original owner. I put a set of BFG KO Lt315/70r17D about 7 yrs ago 40k I love the tire so much I bought a set of BFG KO2 265/70r16E The KO2 looks great if it performs as well I will be happy. The KO have done me well in sand snow wet towing and still have 40 to 50% tread left but its been 7 years i dont want to risk a problem with old tires. Im going back to my original dia 30.4 to up my tow n brake rating. Ive driven on the beach and it rides ontop of the sand never digs in and my truck weighs close to 7k with a full tank of gas. I drove in 36" of unplowed snow no problem my front end and bumper was the plow lol. My MPG is 12 city 18 hwy with the KO Lt315/70r17D and should improve with the KO2 Lt265/70r16E or stay the same. there about 100 lbs rotating mass differance between to 2 and 400 to 500 rpm so the weight diff is a wash from the rotating mass. I will update after ive driven a bit so right now my opinion is based on my KO performance over the last 7 years

I bought the Ko2 tire the year it was released in Canada, October 2014 and have them on a RAM 1500 4X4. I wanted a AT tire I could run all year but needed the winter snowfake rating for legal reasons due to highway travel to Cariboo region of BC. I've been pretty happy with them overall. I've rotated them every 5000 km and they have worn pretty even, with only about 45,000 km on them now. I have used them in some pretty heavy snow conditions, and happy with performance, though not as good obviously as a dedicated winter tire. My off-roading has been pretty mild, mostly logging roads, a few rough goat tracks, a little bit of mud. Handled everything thrown at them, though I am not as hard on them as some may be. They make more noise than the original OEM tire on my RAM, and the fuel efficiency went down a bit, but not too bad in either respect and it is to be expected from a more aggressive tread. I've noticed quite a few bad reviews on this site, but my experience has been good, and I have noticed a few of the bad reviews state that the users have been using these tires for many years, some back in 2010. I think these reviews are confusing the regular T/A KO with the KO2's as to the best of my knowledge the KO2's were released in 2014 when I first bought mine. All said I would buy these tires again and would recommend them to others. When it comes time for replacement it will either be more KO2's or maybe Wrangler Duratracs due to my need for the winter snowflake.

285/70r 17 E load rated The ko's where great lasted almost 80 thousand miles pulled my 4000lbs trailer loaded with as much as 10 thousand lbs on it. Went thru 5 ft snow drifts with no worries. They pulled my GMC over and thru everything I could throw at it. Awesome tires. Will buy again. AA++

I have had these on my '93 3/4 ton Cheyenne Suburban for many years(3sets). WHEN PROPERLY INFLATED the wear is above average. I ride 265/16R/75 and get almost or at 60,000 miles per set. The road noise is more than acceptable for an AT mud and snow tires. I have no braking or handling issues. I run 75lbs all the way around for daily driving. I deflate to 65 in the winter/snow. This is an E load rating 10 ply. I've used these tires in just about every terrain and condition. Arizona and Utah desert. Sierra's and Rockies. Northern California coast. Black earth mud in the Midwest. River and creek beds everywhere... Summary- this is a streetable mud and snow tire with good wear at higher inflation pressure. NOTE- I am still running the KO and not the KO2. I got the last of the Ko's at last tire change.... Currently 18,3xx miles with about 30% worn.

I bought the KO2's to replace the stock Goodyear Wranglers on my 2016 GMC 1500 Z71. I had to have them rebalanced twice within the first 2 months. Excessive vibration continued after the balancing. I finally took them to the best tire fitter / balancer in town. They ended up having to shave 2 of the tires to get them to balance correctly. Now, with just over 31,000 miles on the tires, they are almost down to the wear bars. Also, since new, they have been loud on various road surfaces. Probably going to switch to Toyo's or Nitto's on my next purchase.

I had a set of all terrains years ago and they were great so I bought the new KO2 knowing I couldn’t go wrong but I did I’m very disappointed with these tires 14K miles and they are shot I rotated them once definitely will not be buying another set. 2006 2500HD Duramax

This tire is a great tire on many levels except one. It picks up rocks like no tire I have ever owned. I ended up pulling them off and selling the, put on a different brand. If you live on a gravel road, you will hate them. Otherwise they are great tires. Interesting that they advertise 'Rock Extractors' I think they meant Attractors!!

I just got a new set of 315/70 R17's KO2's for my 2014 Raptor and noticed that they do have the rim guard like the K/O's. My other complaint is the tire compound seems a fair amount softer then than the previous generation as well. Needless to say I'm not very happy and won't be getting any more BFG tires from now on unless the original All Terrain T/A KO's come back.

Bought these right after they first came out in 12/2014. LT285/75R16E (4) on a 2002 GMC Sierra Z71. No issues, no complaints. Traction on ice is decent and in slush/snow is outstanding. Trail mud is no match for them, combined w/my G80 rear diff. Pavement wise, fairly sticky, they will float a bit in heavy rain. no big whoop, just slow down. They do smell a bit like burnt rubber at first, then that goes away. I will be back when this truck needs new tires. Best All-terrain tire I've ever owned, period. I have recommended these to family and friends with trucks and SUV's.

I have a set of these KO2s on my Lexus GX460. I have 18,000mi on them now and the tread is half gone and the outside 1.5in is already dry cracking. And for the record, this vehicle is my commuter and half of the year the roads are covered with snow. What ever compound change you guys have made is not an appreciable one. I won't be buying another set of these.
