Not for on road use
I have owned three previous versions of this tire on my Superduty and liked, but this set has a very soft rubber. I can easily bend the tread blocks with my fingers. I have worn 2/32 in 2400 miles. When I make a quick lane change the soft compound will rebound the truck the other direction when the lateral load is taken off. I will not want to tow a trailer with these tires until they wear down more, which should be in short order. I have not used them off road yet, but i bet they are very good off road. These should not be advertised as All-Terrain as the road is not a good use for these, and for the majority of people that is the main use. .
Amazing
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.
Dry Rot
Had them on the F 150. Never off road. After two years the sidewall peeled off one ! Bf Goodrich does not make the raised white letter anymore for this size tire Which is what the other three are. I will replace all 4 with something safer.
Best Tire I have ever owned.
I just put 55,000 miles on a set of 285 65 20 ko2 tires on my F350 Platinum long bed with replacement bumpers. I could have gotten another 10k out of them easily, but I35 construction in Dallas claimed one tire, so I replace the whole set and went back with the same size and same ko2. Smooth ride, great traction dry and wet, great in hot and cold weather. The ride is quite and soft. The tires have a heavy side wall so there is none of that spongy/swaying uneasy feeling in the steering. Most of my driving is on pavement 90% the other 10% is on dirt roads. I rotate every 5k.
Great Tire
I got a full set of these about a month ago. So far so good. Road noise isn't bad at all for an AT tire. As always the service and help from BigO was fantastic
ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2
I have been a big fan of the original KO 1's. I would easily get 30,000+ miles out of a set. I purchased a set of the KO 2's and they are almost worn down to failing inspection. They did great in the snow, ice and mud. However, I only have about 15,000 miles on them. The tread life on the KO 2's are horrible compared to the originals. I rotate, drive reasonably easy, and stay mainly on the pavement. My vehicle is not a heavy one. I have several friends reporting to me the same thing. If you expected decent miles out of the KO 2's ,similar to the originals, you will be disappointed. Hey BF Goodrich, bring back the originals!
Great tires
Got 99,500 miles out of the pair I replaced (on a toyota tundra) went with the same tires again, couldn't be happier, noise isn't so bad, good traction, great wear.
I would not buy this tire again
I purchased a set of All Terrain A/T 275/70 R18 from the Chevrolet Dealer in St. George, Utah. The have lasted 20,000 miles and 10 months. This is my first set of BF Goodrich tires and I am very disappointed is tread wear. Mostly used on highway.
Excellent tire
I put these on my truck a couple weeks ago. These are my first BF Goodrich tire so I had no idea. I had Grapplers on and wasn't very happy with them. I knew as soon as I backed out that I was riding something special. It was like riding in a Cadillac compared to my previous tire. They hug the road and ease through every turn. I feel like I'm riding on air. These tires are not shoes, they are work boots. I've had them on some pretty rugged terrain and they performed flawlessly. Every vehicle I own will have some sort of BFG on them from now on. I would also like to add that I was going to get some other brand tire because I needed some front end work done also and it was going to be too much. My mother in law surprised me with these for a great price. I was disappointed at first but quickly fell in love with these tires.
Best tires owned
Have the Lt tires on every rig we have owned, dad put a set on his Honda Element. The last set I got was for our wood/back country truck 94 f250 4x4. We Spend a lot of time in the rough backcountry of idahos wilderness, many miles from the pavement, these tires hold up in it all. I never worry to much about getting stuck or having a flat. They have great traction in the snow and mud. I get good life out of them. am a little disappointed that I can't get a set of 33s in an 18 for my new f150.
