Great off road
Bought these about a month ago and in the short time I’ve had them I’m impressed. Super quiet on the road and great off road. I’ve done some light/moderate over landing with these and I’ve had no problems with them.
About to buy my second set...
These tires have gone way further than I expected they would. I bought my '04 4Runner in the summer of 2019 and it's now fall 2021, and it had these tires on it already. I don't remember whether they were brand new or not, but I know they had a lot of tread on them. I've taken these tires from Northern California up to Oregon, down to San Diego and back to Northern California, to Texas and back to Northern California, back to Texas again and then on to New England and drive them daily. Tens of thousands of road miles on them as well as hundreds of miles off-road through moderately rough, rocky terrain. I've been pretty careful to have them rotated and balanced somewhat regularly. They've simply never ever given me any trouble, and one of the most shocking things to me is they hold air like no tire I've ever seen before. I check them often and I really don't ever remember having to add anything except for a couple pounds, and that was only once or twice! I've probably put about 50,000 plus on them and they still have just enough tread to still be legal, but I just scheduled with a tire shop to put on another pair of them. There is literally nothing negative about my experience with them. I'm sold on 'em for as long as I keep my 4Runner. I've never seen a more solid tire.
AWESOME
I’ve had these tires for 6 months now and I have put 30,000 miles on them. They’re holding up great and I still have plenty of tread left. I’m a road trip junkie but I LIVE for riding backroads, muddin & hitting the trails. From the Colorado Rockies to the east coast beaches in NC and all along the gulf coast these tires have NEVER failed me on/off-road throughout 16 states regardless of the terrain.
Good tire, but wear fast.
Same experience as below. Tires showing excessive wear on my raptor. At 30k Dealership reached out for warranty claim and told there’s nothing that will be done. Mainly highway miles. I’d say 35-40k miles is a more realistic tire life.

LOVE these tires!
I forgot how wonderful the driving can be with new tires! They feel smooth as butter! we got the BFG All Terrains. Just in time for winter weather. No slipping around with these big boys. Jon Howell was a great help in giving us all of the different brands and options so we could choose our best fit. Thank you!
Best tire for my service trucks
I utilize these tires for all of my service trucks and we are very pleased with their performance
30,000 mile tire!
My raptor is less than 1 1/2 years old and has 21,000 miles on it. Mostly highway miles with some off road and no towing. They have 1/3 tread left. My brother bought his raptor a few months after mine and has 30,000 mostly highway miles on it for work and his are smooth. We like the tire otherwise. We've had several raptors with them wearing these tires most of the time. When we are off-road they seem to do well in most conditions but they do not do well for mileage wear.
Todd, sorry to hear you're not happy with the mileage. We'd like to get involved. One of our Consumer Care Team members will be in touch with you. Meanwhile, you are welcome to contact us at 866-866-6605.

Tried Them All, But Keep Coming Back To The KO2
I work in farming/agriculture here in California and though we don’t get a whole lot of rain annually, when we do, it can be a challenge getting around the ranches. This is my 4th set of BFG AT and believe me, I have tried a lot of different brands over my 30 years. Put about 40,000 miles a year on my trucks (current is 2020 Chevrolet HD 2500 Diesel) and literally 1/2 is on farm where we sprinkler irrigate on clay loam soils where you can get stuck pretty easy if A. You don’t know how to drive in mud or B. You don’t have tires that “clean out”. I’ve run Coopers, Good Year wrangler MT and AT, Bridgestone, Michelin and the list goes on. Others we’re good tires but there is always the trade off between how they wear, noise, clean out mud, life etc. Last set was BFG MT which I never had to worry about getting stuck but between the road noise, ride, cupping and having to replace at 30,000 miles due all the above I came back to the BFG AT KO2 just last month. I can get 60,000+ miles easy out of a set even on my 3/4 ton as long as I rotate. I recommend on bigger trucks to rotate every 5,000 miles as the tire shop honors the free rotation and they are the ones that got me to do that and they’re not even listed on Website and they sell more of these than anyone in a 200 mile radius I’d bet money as Ag is huge and there are 1,000’s of company 4x4’s used every day here. BTW I also run the KO2 on my Jeep Rubicon in 35”. They are expensive tires, especially lately due the pandemic, but all tires are, but they’re quiet and smooth on road and aggressive off road and I literally get about 25% more miles out of them than the others. NO BRAINER
I really don't understand why so many dislike them
Bought them last fall for my overlanding rig, ran them hard for over a year now & put ~20,000 miles on them. I will likely re-buy another set in 285/70R17 (C-rated) once tread runs out on the current set. Overall very happy and confused why a lot of people in the community keep thrashing this tire ... the below is fully based on my own experiences, I do not claim to be an off-road expert nor did I have a lot of comparisons with other truck tires. I paid for my tires. PROs: + Ability off-road ... I have been throwing rock gardens/shelves, deep sand, muddy forest roads, desert roads, deep snow at these tires and never had any traction issues off-road. If other tires are even better I haven't been in a situation (yet) where that would've mattered ... the areas where I feel they excelled at (even vs. other off-roaders I met on the trails) were: (1) deep snow and (2) deep sand - others got stuck and we didn't + Quiet on the highway, light, didn't affect fuel consumption much (~1 mpg) when I switched from the stock tires in 255/75R16 to 265/70R17 KOs (they are the lightest tire in this class ... which is noticeable in terms of performance, breaking, MPGs) + Even wear & durable: 20,000 miles, rotation every 5,000 miles, balancing after 15,000 miles - still enough tread for another 20-30k + Looks: Subjective but I like them over a lot of other A/T tires CONs: - Tendency to hydroplane in wet conditions - scary, but manageable - Traction on packed snow or ice is not great - didn't run into these conditions off-road but on regular streets in the winter I got into some sketchy situations - They wander a bit when changing lanes at higher speeds (>75mph) ... but that's to be expected when getting C-rated tire on a ~6,000lbs rig (fully loaded) Some other thoughts: > C-rated over E-rated tire all day ... been pushing them aired down on sharp rocks and haven't had any flats or cracks in the tire > the weight does matter ... especially on our somewhat underpowered Tacomas (even with re-gear) ... it's nice to have a bit of extra punch vs. some other A/T tires that are 20% heavier > In dry / sandy states these tires are really hard to beat. In some rainier / wetter states like Washington there are other tires that perform better in wet conditions ... but so far not enough to change my mind ;)
Exceptional - long life tires
I couldn't afford to buy the new BFG Ko2 tires. I bought them from someone who had used them for about 100,000 miles. I used them for the last 2 years, mainly off-road in search of farms up way in the mountains. Most of the roads in the mountains of Romania are not paved: stone and mud ! I can't believe the tires are so durable. The profiles are still very good: 10 mm I was looking for buting new tires but yet, are expencive . Nevertheless, the price is worth off
