Vibration, cannot be balanced
These are some of the worst tires I've ever owned. Vibrated from day 1, and cannot be effectively balanced out. They ride like they are made of rock, even in their lower load rating. I was surprised by how little noise they made, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about them. I'll definitely be avoiding BFG products in the future.
The best tires for my use.
I have been running BF Goodrich All Terrain tires for 34 years. This last set on my 2014 Toyota 4 Runner were the KO2. I got the most mileage out of these at 64,000 plus miles I am ready to replace them with new. They still have legal depth tread , but I drive fast in the heavy rains of Florida and enjoy the comfort of the deep tread pattern of a new set. I use mostly on road , but I do go off road on a regular basis to travel to hunting and camping areas. I have lived in states with snow and the performance was always predictable. In the mountains with rock and clay they always got me where I needed to go. I would say the only area you need to avoid from my experience are the deep swamps since it’s not an aggressive mud tire. I choose this tire because it’s quite on the highway and rides like a Cadillac. The most important maintenance to get your money out of these tires is check the air pressure I run 36psi an do not miss a rotation at 5k miles on my 4 runner and jeeps. My Pickups were 4K mikes. Another reason I choose these tires Is I find myself alone exploring off road and the confidence of the sidewall technology and strength of tire lets me enjoy the scenery instead of worrying about getting a flat.
Thanks for the awesome review, Gunner. BFGoodrich customers ROCK!

Awsome tire
I bought the KO2 for my mazda cx5. I put on 245/65R17. They are aggressive and make my suv look like a beast. Amazing tires gorgeous look and extremely good in the woods. The traction is unbelievable. I will definitely be buying BF Goodrich all terrain Tires again.
Thanks for sharing, Jon, and thanks for your commitment to BFGoodrich!

Does what I ask...
First let me say that I believe that mine is a near perefect test case for these tires. I installed these tires while towing a large 5th wheel trailer through Albequerqe, enroute to Salt Lake. Date Code (3315) on the sidewall of tire indicates the tires were made the 33rd week of 2015. Got on the interstate and they did a great job (no sway or crabbing) all the way to SLC. My truck is not a daily driver. Used mainly for hauling RV trailers for business. I religiously rotate my tires with every oil change (3K to 5K). Wear has consistently been even all along. I camp with my family 5 to 7 times a year pulliing a 12K pound fifth-wheel trailer LOADED! (no issues whatsoever). I average 600 miles a month (7176 yearly) driving the truck (2006 Dodge Laramie 2500 Megacab) around town and camping occasionally. Today, I am 53 months into these tires. They show some small signs of cracking at the rim line I have driven them for 31,705 miles (more than 20,000,00 reviolutions so far) and the ride is getting hard to ignore ('kidney punches' if you will at every railroad crossing and pothole) so I Iowevered the tire pressure from 70psi (pulling trailers) to 60 when not pulling. I am somewhat dissappointed that 31K is all of the miles I got out of them, but I admit pulling trailers has hastened the wear a little not to mention the crazy torque a diesel engine can put on the tires WHILE pulling a large trailer through the rocky mountains. I don't do burnouts and I don't 'horse' my truck around town (too old for that). After lowering the pressure, the ride improved a little but is still hard. Tread depth guage (see pic) indicates I am exiting the 'green' (ok to drive) zone and entering the 'yellow' zone meaing I could if I wanted to... probably coax another year out of these tires but... With all I have to lose by playing the 'safe tire' game including the whole family loaded and leaving town, I will not risk it and will replace the tires this month. They have been great. This tire pattern has been around FOREVER (I first saw it in the 80's) and honestly it is dumb and superficial but I am a little tired of this tread pattern. No complaints at all but I may look for a little more aggressive (Mud Terrain) tire that is still quiet (relatively) on the highway.
Excellent tires so far
I bought the tires about a month ago, so far they are everything I was wanting. the ride is a bit more ridgid but I expected that, the tires aren't noisy on the highway, they are really good on wet pavement and they look great on my truck.
Thanks for sharing, Nitromethane!

Looks great but...
Look great but... They looked great rode great but I pull a camper with my Ram 1500 just about every weekend put just over 20k on tires and already at the wear bar. Didn’t last as long as hoped. I rotated the tires every 5000 miles and wore evenly just didn’t last... maybe I had a bad set. Tire size was 35/12.50 R20

mileage sucks!
I bought mine March of 2019 and put them on my 2018 Ram 2500 diesel. I have almost 15,000 miles, all road miles, and they already need to be replaced. I have not towed or hauled anything heavy, have zero off road miles and had only one extended road trip from California to Idaho. I have rotated the tires every 5,000 miles. The wear is even and I have not had any issues I can think of that would have made them wear so quickly and the tires have not been abused. Other than tread life, I have not had any issues with the tires.

GOAT of Tires
I've had a set on my F150 FX4 since 2016, gotten 62k miles out of them and if not for some sidewall damage up front the backs still have another 20k left in them. These are a great tire and will run for ages if you rotate them every 5k
Thanks for the awesome review, Ian P. All-Terrain T/A KO2 customers ROCK!

Great Tire
I am now on my 2nd set of KO2s. They are on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. My first set went 110,000 kms. I do a 5 tire rotation every 10,000 kms. I now have 60,000 kms on the 2nd set and they are still going strong. The tires are way quieter than the stock tires that came on the Rubicon. The traction is great in all conditions (it does decline as the tires wear - but this is to be expected. Note: I installed the next size up from the recommended for the vehicle (went from 31” to a 32.8”)
Thanks for the great feedback, BWP!
