BFGoodrich ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2 Reviews

good tyre balanced, great for off road and road use

Terrible in the wet

Theses are my Forth set over the years and just don’t seem to be as good as the past sets with tyre wear 

These were brilliant and after 110,000 the time to replace them has finally come.  Only started to get a little noisy recently which is a contrast to the Mickey Thompson AT's I had on a previous vehicle that you could hear coming a mile away after 40,000.  I spent a heap on recovery gear and only needed it once while on these boots.  Great at getting through the mud on tracks etc.  When I buy my next ute later in the year I will be asking the dealer if they can fit a set on these on it.  

Have run these on my vehicle since about 3 weeks of ownership now done 85,000km on them and they'll likely see 100,000km. All along they have never let me down, seen mates cop punctures on the same tracks I'm on and they just keep copping everything I've thrown at it. Always exceeded my expectations of grip on road in all weather when you consider it's an aggressive all terrain. Have mates with the same car and different tyres but these have been the best overall. Some say they have wet road issues, and I'm honestly only starting to see it now after 85k km... Still have the confidence in them, but would understand those in utes at this point might feel differently. Would I run them again? Absolutely! But I'll be going the KO3 instead. Those wet road concerns reportedly addressed and improved sizing options means I'll be going up another size, but definitely only sticking with BFG. 

The BFGoodrich have been an amazing value for money tyre. With over 90,000 of general daily use and off-road adventures, they have been a great allrounder. 

Awesome all round offroad tyre, rotated and balanced every 10=15k and still at least half tread left at 65k. Have taken them everywhere..... rocky terrain, river crossings, dirt roads, dirt highways, deserts, beach, slick sloppy mud hills and the odd patch of bitumen. Air down well, never had a punture which says a lot if you knew where theyve been, no chunking or damage of any kind....., sounds odd but i kinda want them to wear out so i can try the ko3's.... :)

I am currently on my second set of BFG KO2’s and have gotten fantastic mileage out of both sets. Have always heard they last ages and they really do. Worth noting I have only run a set of 4 and not adding in a spare to the rotation too, like some people might do for extra longevity. Honestly, with regular rotation, good balancing and alignments and running your spare in the rotation I can see someone doing a 100,000km on a set. Admittedly, they’re not great in the wet but incredible off road. I have punished both sets over the coarse of about 7 years and have not had one puncture. I would estimate I have done 75,000+km on my current set and could easily get another 20 however I was slack in my wheel rotations and a dodgy wheel alignment has robbed me of getting my full moneys worth. I will consider another brand this time round and hope I don’t regret it. Overall, a good all round AT, cool traditional pattern, last forever. With the premium price tag, when you factor in they will more than likely outlast other brands, I think they’re totally worth the cash. Also worth noting, some people hate on the KO2; pretty much exclusively Ford Ranger Raptor owners as they come out the factory on KO2s however as they are built overseas, the BFG compounds in Thailand etc are not the same compounds that we have here in Australia. They wear poorly here with our course road surfaces and maybe even the heat. Besides; the next gen Raptor owners treat every set of lights like a 1/4mile so people I know that have Raptors whinge they only get 40,000km tops out of a set of the standard issue Raptor BFG KO2s. Wonder why..  So do not be discouraged by them. Although they are the same tyre, the compound difference makes them about as comparable as apples to oranges when with Aussie spec KO2s. 

OEM on my Ranger Raptor and have done 42,000kms so far with at least 10 to 15,000kms remaining before they retire. I've been to Fraser Island, Moreton Island, Birdsville and the Simpson Desert with no punctures. They are a great all-rounder and also handle the odd 10hr highway trip very well. Can be a bit skatey on wet bitumen, but a very reliable and robust tire. Eyeing off K03 as the replacement set already!

Use BFGs exclusively for 40 years on the Land Cruiser 60 series then the Y61 Patrol and now a 150 Prado on beach sand, gravel, stony outback corrugated tracks and Red mud and slippery grey stuff and they never let me down. When I bought the Prado they came with another top branded tyre. On a trip to Karijini I had a rear sidewall blew out at 110 kms travelling on the black top .  I turned around drove into Tom Price and changed the lot. Now have 62000km on them now and still some to go. They have been all over the place on many a dirt road , from cape Arid up the   Canning stock route to Kunanurra down  the Gibb,. From steep point in WA along  the gun barrel and over the summo to Byron bay, up the cape and back to Perth diagonally and the BFGs have not failed me once. I don’t do hard core weekend warrior stuff. They are just great tyres that won’t let me down. 

Great off road; did Cape York, Gibb River Road and lots of beach driving in WA. Also good on road but a bit noised, especially as they wear down.

I've been to Cape York, telegraph track ,really rough stuff and these tyres I tell everyone get them forget the rest .best tyres I've ever used in 40 yrs of driving 4wds
