I bought these 255x70x18 KO-2's for my Sahara 3 years ago. They are still like new. They are used on and off road and have performed excellently. They are great in the snow, rain, and dry roads. Relatively quiet on the highway. Next time around, I'll be getting KO-2's in a size or two up from stock. The only thing to consider is my gas mileage did drop a couple of mpg but its a small price to pay for the superior all terrain performance.

The tires look great should have the best reviews for the money you spend. But the truth is the wear is terrible. They do not wear evenly and the inside of the tire is not the same depth as the outside. Rotations don't help and I am disappointed in my purchase.

We put the new BFG KO2's in a 265/70 R17C (6ply) configuration on our stock 2003 Toyota 4Runner 4.7L v8 4x4 with 17" stock alloy's and have run them for just about 3500 miles running at 50 psi and have been very pleased with them so far. The size is a slight up-tic from the stock tire, but is the size recommended via a call to Michelain's customer support help-line. The clearance in the front wheel well when the tire is turned hard right or left leaves about and inch against the interior well trimming. We have not had any rubbing or collection of debris trapping therein. We chose the C class feeling it would be a good compromise given the GVW of the V8 4runner and our intended use and all-around passenger comfort as opposed to the E class 8Ply configuration. We bought the 03 4.7L V8 4x4 (108K miles) because we wanted an old school rig we could go into the hills with and not worry about putting some Colorado pinstripes on while four-wheeling through tight tree lined tracks, tow a trailer if needed and run the interstate to Denver from our home in South-Central Colorado. So Far - Very Good! Both the Rig and the Tires. We've never enjoyed, or been impressed as much with a vehicle as much as this old V8 4Runner and the BFG KO2's have simply improved the vehicle which previously had a set of Michelin all-season radials. I was very concerned about road noise with the KO2's, but decided that we were going all in for them in that we wanted a tire that would serve better, the purpose for which we'd bought the rig. These tires are amazingly quiet! And I'm terribly picky and sensitive to road noise. In my opinion their noise increase over the all-season Michelins is so minimal as not to be noteworthy. As for performance, in November we took them for a spin up the rough and rocky 4X4 track which leads to Balman Reservoir and Rainbow lake in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. We aired down to about 30 psi and were very pleased in that we weren't getting beat up by the 6ply's - this is a rough and very rocky road and the tires performed very well in dry, steep and steep track with loose gravel-scree and dirt. At higher elevation we ran into snow (perhaps 3" to start) and the tires did a great job their too. The only slippage was as we climbed in steep turning pitches where the rear end would slip a few inches out to the downhill side. Mostly due to the tracking of the trail itself. We stopped and turned back due to good sense and an extreme narrowing of the trail with a precipice on the right-hand downhill side of the track. The tires were willing; we on the other hand decided that in the fading light of day, good judgment and not the voice of the KO2's saying go for it was best. Also, upon returning to lower elevation and groomed dirt and pavement we did not observe and tire damage nor did the tread retain and gravel or rocks of any significance. - So Far- Very Good! On the highway we have enjoyed a confidant ride that does not pull or cause the vehicle to behave any differently than when we'd previously driven it on the all-season Michelins, a great tire for what they are designed to do -. As for fuel economy, if their is a negative it is negligible in that we've not noted any loss of merit in our mileage per tank - So Far - Very Good! As for paved roads and snow and ice, just last week on Saturday afternoon we happened to be obligated to drive in conditions that one would otherwise be advised to stay home and read about such adventures by a warm fire. It was Saturday, December 12th, the condition were snow, packing snow and straight-up skating rink (I've got 20 sliding, crash, ding and dent photo's to prove it!) You know, the footage you've seen scenes like it on the evening news people sliding while simply setting still - yah that stuff! The BFG KO2's were fantastic! I did put the 4runner in H-4 (four-wheel drive and but with the exception of those hard right or left turns in a tight circumference radius turn where the rear-end would give a bit of side-slip out and then recover, they instilled confidence and proved themselves a tire that, I will, without hesitation buy again and highly recommend to others.I gave the tires a 4-Star rating here as opposed to a 5 only in that we have not had them long enough to determine rubber compound longevity, overall durability and/or tread-live etc.,. All said, if you're thinking about a new All-Terrain or Snow Tire go buy BFGoodrich's All-Terrain KO2's, they will not disappoint.

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

I'm running 37x12.50R17's ATKO2 on a 2005 Jeep Rubicon. I daily drive it, wheel it in the rocks when I can. These tires perform better on wet roads vs a KM2 (slippage), are significantly quieter, and have worn very well over the past 2 years. I am a 25 year + BFG mud terrain guy; that tire was the only thing I would ever consider installing on any of my Jeeps. After running these tires, I seriously doubt if I will ever go back to a mud terrain. Sorry, KM2; I still love you, but these tires are flat out better for my style driving.

Well what can be said that everybody else has.I have bought these tires recommended to me by one of my best friend who unfortunately passed away 5 yrs ago not that it is so important but I bought them in 11/2006. The only reason I am replacing them is due to a windfall I received I have @least 80,000 miles on this set & are showing actually age cracking in between the tread that doesn't bother me that much I've driven on less & with less tread I was going to wait until next year but plowing season is just around the corner & I hate to put my tire chains on the ones I made last year the best with ice cleats they are used on the Alaskan haul road.

I have always have run TA KO's on my Jeeps for over 35 years. Currently on my '75 CJ5 and original owner '78 CJ7. Put the KO2's on my 4Runner. Could not be more pleased. Currently have 30k miles on them and had 11/32' at service. They are great tires off-road, rain, snow, and mud. They perform excellent on everything so far. It's all about tire pressure and your driving ability/habits.

Well, I've done some 30k on my 1st set of KO2 and compared to previous Duratracs they have some great advantages. On my Nissan Pathfinder I drive 95% on paved roads, the rest as weekend off-road warrior. KO2s have really exceptionally good sidewalls, resistant to puncture, wear and tear, you can beat them on sharp edges, accidentally drive on sidewalk, no damage on them. I've punctured Duratracs many times, had problems to balance them out, while with TA KO2s I've never touched them since I've put them on. They are silent on road, really, and they grab excellent on dry pavement and gravel roads. BUT they have disadvantages, like we all do. On first rain you need to double or even better, triple your safety distance, as they simply will not stop the vehicle when you want it to. Cornering on wet also barrely can be called cornering, as it is more straight line, same on first few inches of snow (on pavement). Try being a hero and attack a slippery grass, covered with an inch of snow, and you'll end up looking for rescue vehicle. They are like slicks there. Duratracs under same conditions dig into surface and pull you out, leaving battle scars on the snowy fields, but they do move the vehicle, whil KO2's are not so good at this. Will probably buy again,mostly due to SECURITY they offer due to really strong 10-ply sidewals.

I've only had this new KO2 tire for a short time and I can tell you it's very quiet and smooth on the road for an All Terrain tire. It's not a deep swampy slimy mud tire but it does great in almost all off-road conditions including mild mud and doesn't throw stones as much as the previous model, exactly what it was made for. BF G just needs to offer more sizes in a load C tire. In all, great all around tire and nothing is as good as a TA at what it was designed for.

I have been buying BFG AT's since 1979. Air adjusted for conditions and load every month, YES every month. I have never received less than 100K miles. My current tires are set at 45 psi all around for my 900 pound hitch weight and 10,000 pound trailer. that will be going 4000 miles 5 times this year
