very disapointed
after running the bfg all-terrain t/a ko for the past 5 years on 2 f 350s and a exployer and being completely satisfied I needed a new set and was told the new t/a ko2 may be replacing old t/a ko. so I did not want to buy a set of tires that couldent be replaced if one of them got an unfixable flat. so I bought a set of the 285/65/20 T/A KO2 to replace my set of wore out 285/65 20 T/A KO. what a disappointment! what used to be a rugged beefy looking tire that stuck out and accented any truck (witch is why most folks buy them) now leaves a gayping hole in my wheelwells even though there the same size! how can the same size tire weigh 3 lbs less and be 1 inch smaller in dia. yet cost more? BFG if it ant broke don't fix it!
Louder and rougher than the old KO.
My comment is about the new BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 in size 285/75-16 Load Range E. I don't really like them. Especially their ride quality, meaning noise, smoothness, and rut handling. I have had them on my 6000 pound midsize truck for almost 30 days now and have put over 1000 miles on them. I have tested them on highway, in the rain, off road, in packed snow, and on solid ice from freezing rain. I previously ran the BFG All terrain KO in 285/75-16 load range D. I have been through 3 sets of those with very good results. They KO2's were purchased as a new set of 4 matching tires and installed at a large well known tire retailer. I have tested them at 40 psi, and 38 psi. My opinion of the new BFG All Terrain KO2 tires compared to the original BFG All Terrain KO tires: The good; The KO2's; Had better off road traction on a dirt hill climb. Have as good or better traction in packed dry snow (20 degrees or less). Have about the same traction on solid ice (under 20 degrees). Are tougher abrasion wise, especially the sidewalls, tested that in volcanic rock. Have about the same road noise only on Smooth pavement. Seem to clean out rocks better. Seem to do better in the rain. Sidewall appearance is better. The bad; The KO2's Ride rougher over course pavement, bumps, and on dirt roads, meaning harsh, or jarring. Are noticeably louder on rough or course aggregate pavement, bumps, and dirt roads. Track poorly in ruts or along edges in pavement; this was very noticeable on rutted asphalt, on dirt trails, and on packed snow when changing lanes. Pick up and throw larger rocks then the original KO's did due to wider tread spacing. Required more weight to balance than the KO's. I think that the original KO's in load range D are a noticeably better highway tire because they had a better ride quality. They were quieter over rough pavement and softer riding over bumps and dirt roads, and they also tracked better in ruts. Not sure if this is because the new KO2's are E rated, or because of the tread design, or from the new compound. I rated them as good because I think that they would be a good tire in certain applications, like on heavier vehicles, or in the desert.
ko2 width isn't correct
The tire width is smaller than what is printed on the tire. My 2014 gmc stock 20 " tire, 275/55/20, is clearly wider than the 285/65/20 ko2 set that I just purchased. Not happy at all. almost 2 grand
Awsome is behind
One of the best tires I have owned.Great ride,traction,style,and the balance on a big tire is top shelf.If you have been waiting for a tire that can take you to town in style or through the back woods to the top of the mountain with no worries The Wait is over the k02 is here.
My 4th set of BFG AT'S KO'S 1st of KO2's
I mostly use on the street except during deer season best of both worlds
Best all around tire for 4x4 vehicles.
I have owned BFGoodrich All Terrain's & Mud Terrain's on a variety of 4x4 vehicles since 1986. On a daily driver / farm truck that is used in the field & on the road there is no better tire available.
I will buy this product again
I've used ko's before for daily driving and pushing snow. The new ko2's have better handling on the highway, less sway. Really like the way they look. I've run several different brands always come back to ko's . Now it will be ko2's without a dought. Try them you will like them.
Works Excellent on my Ford SDs
I recently put a set on both my SDs (2000 Ford Excursion and 2001 F250) both Diesel 4x4s. Wow what great tires! Highly recommend them to all who what a super versitile tire on and off road! The original KOs are great, but these are awesome!
Knock Out Great Tires
Great looking tires replaced BFG ATs on my Tundra at 40k. They are excellent in rain and mud. The KO2's kept me with BFG and will be tested towing snowmobiles 1000's of miles this winter. I expect great snow performance based on the miles in the mud. The tires are amazingly quiet. I will put a set on my Tacoma next. No change in fuel efficiency from the OE BFG AT
Awesome Tires
Yes I'm from Minnesota and all I got to say is impressive. I only have 2 285/75 r16 on the rear of my 1999 silverado 4wd and through ice and snow it is impressive. It's better then my Geolander ats-2. I try swinging the rear end of my truck loose and it just so hard for it to break traction and spin around.....this is on packed snow and ice. On snow it's like driving on pavement. On regular street it feels as normal as any tire base on my opinion. All I got to say is awesome BFGOODRICH you guys did an excellent job on this one.....it's going to be hard to come up with something better now. I also love the aggressive look of these tires. If your still wondering if you should buy this....... just get it.... I won't be wasting my time on here writing a review if I didn't love this tire that much.
