Great AT tire!
Ive had these tires in rain, snow, ice, dirt and highway and love the grip, traction and lack of noise a similar type tread produces. In Mammoth, during a blizzard that lasted 4 days, I didn't put my chains on and felt extremely solid.
Good tire but has balance issues.
I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra Limited 4X4 with 275/65/18 tires. I purchased the tires over two years ago and have put about 12,000 miles on them. Overall I'm very happy with the tire. I knew I'd lose some fuel mileage when I switched from the stock Rugged Trails. I'm averaging 13 mpg compared to 15 mpg previously. I pull a tandem axle trailer for our Boy Scout troop every month. Fully loaded it weighs in around 7,000 pounds. I've also maxed out the truck pulling a S250 Bobcat and they handled it great great. The difference in handling on and off road is exponentially better. I've driven them in snow a few times and didn't need to put it in four wheel drive to go up hills from a dead stop. Of course I drove them too hard to find their breaking point which was considerably more than I would have expected. My plow truck has Gdyr Dtrac on it and the KO2's are much quieter and handle the snow and ice much better. These tires were about $400 more than a Gdyr tire that I was also looking at. Other than the price, the only complaint that I have is keeping them balanced. They've been rotated twice and each time the tires have needed to be rebalanced. Talking with the dealer, they've had to do this a lot with the KO2's. I'm told that they are wearing good so time will tell what kind of mileage I end up getting out of them. I purchased a high quality tire so I'd expect to get good wear out of them.
Excellent tire
I recently purchased four B F Goodrich All Terrain T/A LT275/60/r20 tires for my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD. Living in the southwest U.S. I drive many dirt roads and many mountain roads. Recently I ended up in a very large sand pit. These tires were a god send. They cut through the sand just like it was a super highway. I will be putting quite a few miles on them shortly on unimproved mountain roads. I finally have the confidence to go where I use to avoid. These tires are awsome!!
Poor Tread Life
Purchased November 2015 for 2011 F250 4WD Crew. Tread lasted only 18000 miles before it was gone. Tread wear was very uniform across all tires. They simply don't last on heavier trucks.
My forth set of All-Terrain tires absolutely the best
I own a jeep wrangler use my jeep everyday on and off road, keep tires rotated these tires will wear good and last as well,I got 55,000 mi. on last set.
Excellent Tires - Love them
Overall dry driving, sand dunes, camping and very snowy roads. Positively the best tires I've ever owned. Used them on my 2005 F-150 and preformed unbelievably well. I was afraid they would be to noisy on the interstate but I was very wrong, smooth and quite. And when I needed the traction in snow and sand well what can I say, these tires are the beast. Was heartbroken when I traded in my old Ford for a new one. Guess what my first purchase will be on this new Ford, yup a set of BF All Terrain K02's, can't wait.
Third set on three different vehicles
I recently purchased my third set of these tires on a third different vehicle. Each set has performed flawlessly. I had a set of these on a TJ Jeep, Land Rover LR4 with 3" lift, and currently on a new F250. Road noise is minimal and comparable to most other A/T tires. I have not experienced any issues with balance. These tires perform well in rain and snow/ice as well as off road. The current set is 36" tall on factory 20" F250 wheels with no issues. I have gone over 60k miles on a set of these on my old Land Rover with a fair amount of tread left. I have convinced a number of friends to spend a little extra on these vs Yoko's and other AT/MT tires and so far all have been happy with the ride and wear. I will continue to purchase these as long as I am driving a truck/suv.
great tire but noisy
I've been using these tires for a few weeks now and they're amazing. The only complaint I have is the noise. They are pretty loud for an all terrain tire, but I guess that's what you get for wanting an aggressive tire.
Great features
Great tires best I've had will recommend them to people
Decent tire
I mainly use this tire for city and highway driving and occasional offroading as it is my daily driver. I love the look of the tire and how quiet it is on the road. Offroad use is great i love the extra protection of the sidewalls and meaty traction. My only complaint is that when driving on highway between 50 and 70 mph my truck shakes and has bad vibrations that goes throughout the truck. I had a shop look over everything suspension wise and said it was all good. Many other people i talk to say they have the same balancing issue with the bfg k02. Overall i am dissatisfied with these tires and will be buying something else in the future. Great tire for offroad but not a daily driver for any street use.
