Customer reviews for BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT245/75R17/E 121S Tire forBest Tire Ever Had
I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport. Never really liked the stock tires which are 225/75R16. In wet weather tires were terrible. Put these oversized 265/75R16 on and 100% better. I am amazed at how good these tires are! Would definitely recommend these tires!
Not happy with Mileage
I have always liked the BFG All-Terrain T/A's. They handle well and get great grip. However, the current set of T/A KO2's I've had on my wife's Suburban for less than three years, under 50,000 miles and need to replace three of them because they are down to the wear bars. With no mileage warranty on the All-Terrain T/A's, I'm going to look for another tire. She doesn't drive hard by any stretch, seems like I should get more longevity out of them.
We understand the All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires on your Suburban 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.
Don't buy if you are towing
Bought these less than a year ago and the rear tires are worn considerably more than the front I only have about 10K on them now. Noticed considerable wear around 6K. I mainly use this truck for towing my camper. I'm not heavy on the gas so it's not from spinning the tires. Looking to go to some Cooper's Don't buy if you are towing.
BFG KO2 Best Tire Ever
I switch from another ATM tire and wow what a difference!!! The BFG KO2 is amazing! Truck runs so much smoother on and off road. I looked at other tires as well. After lots of research and now having driven the KO2 I can say there is no comparison. The BFG is a far better tire over all. I would highly recommend the KO2 to anyone that wants a great tire!!!!
Outstanding Performance
The T/A KO2 is an exceptionally strong performing tire on a 2015 CCSB Silverado1500 that has a FabTech 6" lift with heavy coilovers, UCAs and professionally arched Springs. I run 305/65/R18, so I have zero clearance issues. I demand serious duty from my truck and tires. Driving 25-50 miles of poorly maintained gravel roads daily and then taking it cross country quarterly. These tires ride smoothly and quietly on the highway. When pressured up a bit they pull a loaded car hauler through the Rockies without complaint. I am impressed with their mud and snow performance most of all. They are the surest footed tire I have driven on wet/icy roads. In deep snow they bite when others would not. I depend on this truck to get me to work in adverse conditions. These tires have greatly contributed to its success. The only complaint I can muster is that my first set lasted just over twenty six thousand miles before they seemed a little too thin to keep as the snow began to fly this year. However, BFG was very good to me and made an accomidation that made it quite easy for me to decide to buy into another set. While awaiting the arrival of my new tires, my dealer put on a "demo" set of tires from a competitor (a shoe with a wing) they were loud and sloppy by comparison. It really reinforced to me how important a superior set of tires are to a hard use vehicle. I doubt I will ever run any other tire on this truck. I wholeheartedly reccomend this tire to anyone that demands a lot from their machinery. Yes, the T/A KO2 is that good
So Far - Very Good!
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.
Great overall and long lasting.
I’ve had these tires since I purchased my JK over 4 years ago. Over 40K miles on them and I’d say they still have another year or so. I’ve driven with a uhaul from Michigan to Colorado and back and then from Michigan to California. Remember that the tires don’t break in until 10k miles or so and then rotate 4-6k miles…they will last forever.
Very dissatisfied with the BFG KO2
Installed on my '14 Ram 2500 in Feb. 2016. They Only lasted only 29k miles. They did not wear evenly even-though I rotated them and had my alignment checked 3x in the 13 months I owned them. I had one tire wear so badly that the store I bought them from offered to replace it at no charge but I opted to buy 4 new tires of a different brand instead.
Excellent Snow and Wet Traction
Purchased a set of 4 KO2's 4 1/2 years ago for my 2003 Silverado Z71 1/2 ton LB. Extremely pleased with the traction in rain and snow. However tread wear looks to be an issue. Currently have 34k on these tires. I will be lucky to get another 10k. I am religious about checking pressure and rotate every 6k miles. Was expecting to get at least 50k out of these. Would like to buy another set of KO2s but undecided at this point.

31/10.5 R15
I bought these tires less then a year ago and I dont like them. They collect every single nail on the road. The tread life is a joke 15/32 and now I'm at 6/32 hasn't been a year yet and I dont drive very far, I always wanted to leave mi and explore but no way I'm doing that with these tires I'll probably run out of tread before I hit Colorado..
