would recommend on rural basis use
real traction on gravel, and mud it´s very excellent , water traveling over pavement roads works very nice, these tires cut water like hot knife on butter, only con it´s about durability tends to wear too fast.
Second set on my landrover, 60,000 miles/set no punctures
Mostly on road in my 130 Defender, 25% towing. I have had two sets on, 60,000 miles a set ! No punctures ! More than capable on any surface I encountered . Just going for a third set !
Overland tire
First off, overall this is a considerably good tire. The first thing that stands out about this tire is it's wear life. The set I have on my 2003 Toyota Tacoma, I have had for about 7 thousand miles and they look close to brand new. The last set that I had last 60 thousand with good tire rotation and matenance. Great tire wear even for an all terrains. The second thing I'd like to address is the gas mileage. My gas mileage didn't drop horrible when I installed these tires. Part of the mileage loss was was because I climbed from a 265 to a 33. But since It is an all terrain it saved me some mileage for sure. Overall mileage loss was minimal. Next topic of discussion is performance, by far one of the most important things about a tires. These tires have been great in almost ever application I have put them in. The only situations it some what lacked in was deep northwest mud and sand. Not that they were expected to our perform a mud terrain of course, but they became relitively slick if the mud was not slung out of them and with the sand being very course. In the snow and ice as well as the road driving, the tire performed very well with out much error. I believe this is a well designed tire that I would recommend to anyone looking for this type of package
I would buy these tires again
Put tires on 2013 f250 diesel. They have 66,000 miles on them and will go another 10k. They have been tough to keep balanced but lasted just as long as the factory michelins I replaced with 72,000 miles
Good tire
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.
Would not recommend
Would not recommend the new "improved" design BFF KO2 all-terrain tires. 10k miles on a set of E-range tires in my 2500HD, rotated twice and aligned once. Tread is more than 60% worn. Tires do not last long and very noisy. Sidewall reconstruction made the truck wander more while driving than the previous model. Ruined. Very dissatisfied.
I would never buy these tires again
I will never buy a set of these tires again. Within six months of getting these tires they started to go bald. Had them rotated several times to keep an even tread and they still went slick. The old BFG's are a better tire but I don't think I want to even go back to those after this experience.
Very good AT tire
Ran these on our Chevy Tahoe. Here are my disclaimers. 1) I buy my tires where rotation and balancing is free. 2) I rotate and balance the tires every 3500-5000 miles depending on how they appear to be wearing on the front. 3) I keep the air pressure at the optimal setting for the Tahoe and 5) I can tell when my vehicles need alignment and do so as soon as I see the alignment is out of spec. I've run BFG A/T's on most of our 4x4's since the early 90's. The last set we wore out ran 117,000 miles and our tire dealer said they had, at least, another 10,000 miles of tread on them, that was on our 2002 Chevy Tahoe. That is the longest I've made a set last. Most of the time, depending on the vehicle, my F-150 I only get about 70,000 miles out of a set. The F-150 wears the front outer edges faster than out Chevys. These tires are a very good balance of on road and off road compromises. They are okay in mud but you must spin them up a bit higher to clean out the tread. They are exceptionally good in snow and very good in icy, slush mix we have up in northern Ohio. When I lived in California, I found they were pretty good on sand and loose dirt. Overall, I would rate them one of the best tires Ive owned over the past 40 years. I personally don't like the look of the new sidewall design but the current tire is a bit better than the last generation so I can live with the design. I'm sure in another 4-5 years BFG will update the tire again. I've never had a BFG AT fail due to the manufacturing process. I have punched a hole through the sidewalk on a construction site and I have put a few nails through them over the years.
So far amazing
Bought these for my '08 f150 4x4 for regular city use and off roading during deer season. They look great, are quiet (not sure what was wrong with the negative sound people), and handle amazing. They grab everything and grip it like a monkey on a banana. I will update this post after I test them out next weekend deer hunting.
Soft ride and quiet...
Just got back from a road trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The KO2's we're great. No road noise and a nice smooth ride.
