I've been running KO2s on my two 4-Runners in WA, CO, UT, NV and CA back country, since they replaced the KOs, and can confidently say your review is spot on. They hit the sweet spot of being really good at everything except gooey clay mud. I am getting over 40k miles before thinking of replacing them, and have never had a flat. I'd add one thought - they also stay in balance remarkably well. I run 275s. Great review.

Nope... slip sooo fast in mud, wear poorly, balance poorly, hydroplane easily... very not worth the money unless you live in the southwest and are willing to rotate them every 3k miles, or deal with bad ride and noise after the first 5 or 6k miles.

I have had my set of K02s on my Range Rover Classic for 3 years now and just love them. I rotate all 5 around for better wear and longevity. The thing is super solid in the snow with the AWD and they've been great wheeling the mountains here in Colorado.

Living in British Columbia, Canada we get 4 seasons plus we are Coastal so lots of rain/snow to quickly change the dry road you just rode in on. The M+S or Snowflake symbol is enforced regulation over our high mountain passes during winter. Travel corridors such as our #5 Coquihalla Hwy can suddenly offer snow over the summit in May/June when everything else is clear and dry. My work has me driving 3-4 hrs out on a weekly basis so there is always a handful of changing road & weather conditions I face on a regular basis not to mention our own recreational activities. My wife & I run KO2 A/T's on our Jeeps (daily drivers) and on our little Tracker (our street legal side by side). Been using KO2's since they came out in 2015. Not afraid to wheel hard with them. Yes, the M/T's are better for the dedicated off-road & mud however I'm specifically talking A/T's here as we are running a heavy sum of highway kilometers/miles. Summary: Even at less than 75% tread here's my feedback: For light-mid duty vehicles I'm set on the KO2's. For heavy duty, I see them being used however I personally would do more comparing with other brands/types if I ran a heavier duty rig (just my honest opinion) in more demanding conditions. Talk to the logging, mining & oil field operational folks for better feedback. That said ... KO2 A/T's Heavy rain/pooling on hwy - no major hydroplaning issues. Keeping in mind I'll run a set for 3 years, all year, without swapping. Snow - very good traction. Deeper snow, well that depends on your clearance. My Jeep has 4.5" lift on 33's x 12.5 with locker. I'm happy! Carry chains? Our other Jeep (stock) has 31's × 10.5 & 235's on the 'Zuke' ... all are happy all year round. Ice - In the past I ran studded Blizzak tires and yes they were awesome however I'd get pulled over for running studs in the city after driving back down from the high mountain pass. With or w/o studs they tended to hydroplane in the lower valley wet/melt conditions. Running the KO2 A/T's during icey conditions with a bit of weight I'm staying on the road still, starting/stopping with minimal slip. Basically not driving like a moron is the key. No such thing as 4 wheel stop on ice so 'Slow the hell Down!' Mud - KO2 A/T's slip a bit more however it hasn't left me at all devastated. Whereas my buddy with the M/T's (same general tread wear) will keep fairly straight I might fish tail a tad. We're talking +5% differance but not enough for my tears 😭 to start flowing. Again, what's your weight, clearance, capability & experience? And, ...don't bite into more than you can 'chew'! Sandy beaches etc. Not bad! I have a bit more 'float' on the 12.5's especially when aired down however our other Jeep on its skinnier 10.5" wide KO2's does practically as good. Hey, ... pick an intelligent line and don't dig down! Rocks & Rocky Terrain - I have enjoyed the performance of the KO2 A/T's on rock +80%. Have not slit my sidewalls...🤔 yet. Conclusion: Great tires if you do a lot of highway but like to go run off and explore overland at a moments notice. Fairly popular & easy to find them in any town that sells tires if you do happen to destroy one. Reasonable price point. There are better tires for dedicated mudding, rock crawling, stump-jumping, or crushing cars like Bigfoot. For your daily driver the KO2 A/T's are very much worth one's time and money to discover.

We've used these tires in all kinds of weather and terrain and they performed way better than expected. Currently I have them on my GX470 great combo!

Love ko2’s. They have done very well for me on the rocks and sand in Utah. Having a heavy 10ply tire is good insurance when I go into far remote places. Gives me peace of mind that I won’t get a flat.

That first 1m30 totally summed up the difference between mud and AT perfectly!! Also gave my brain a picture of how tread patterns actually work🤩thanks man!!

Dude thank you for an honest look at these tires! A great review showing your concerns from your neck of the woods!

living in California, mud performance isn't as much of a requirement but performance on rocks is everything - thanks for this review

I love my KO2's and while I'm in western Washington as well I knew my rig would see more road miles than dirt so road manners was a must. We just did a road trip to AZ and they were great so I'm happy with mine.

I've run KO2s on a bunch of vehicles. I really love them.. especially on my 4Runner. Planning on replacing them next year when they are due for it.

I have tried Tokyo Open country, Nitto terra grapplers and Wranglers and the K02s are by far my favorite for mixed road offroad and snow. Took them to Moab and drove them all last winter and have been really impressed. Have not been in too much mud so may be different if I lived somewhere else.

Love the break down in the categories and legit getting out ther on the terrain

I love these tires, we use them on the farm. Pulling wagons out of muddy fields and snow we cut through deep drifts. Wear factor is excellent and road noise is quiet.

That is one of the most informative reviews with really worthwhile information. Thank you.

What you said at the end it was meant the most to me. A tire that always balances and my truck always can align means the most to me. Tbf every AT and MT tire I’ve owned has done very well but not all of them have given me the easiest experience when it comes to typical maintenance except for BFG tires...

Great review! Originally put them on because I needed a D or E load tire for towing a trailer and this was all I could find for a 20" rim at the time. They've been great towing or in the dirt. This winter in Texas I drove for hundreds of miles on snowy and icy roads and they did excellent. Will buy them again.

Growing up in Santa Barbara California and wheeling all over the Mojave and death valley they are outstanding in the rocks sand and snow. We don’t really have much mud at all so I’ve never really had any experience with mud. But for everything else and the great on highway characteristics make this a truly amazing AT Tire

I love the KO2s I put on my FJ Cruiser! They have been amazing in snow, both on highway and off road. They absolutely crush it in the rocks, and do surprisingly well in the peanut butter mud we tend to get here in Colorado. I've had them for 2.5 years, and was very happy BFG made the LT285/70/17 in a C Load Rating after I asked them to for several months. This allowed me to keep most of the acceleration and braking performance, while having a much tougher tire for the off roading I do.

Great honest accurate review. Thanks for that .I have run BF Goodrich all terrain tires in their various forms for 40 years. Where I live on SaltSpring Island I am at the end of a 11 km logging road built with sharp shot rock,shale mud and snow in winter . Some of my neighbours have run other tires and eventually switched to the BFG,S . In 40 years I have only destroyed 1 of these tires and it was totally my fault , spinning in sharp shale and destroyed the sidewall. I am 60 now but used to wheel pretty hard had various vehicles over the years that always had front and rear lockers ,winches front and back and custom suspensions . These vehicles were used while I worked in the patch and logging as well and the tires never let me down. My current rides are a chev 3500 crew cab long box with lockers front and back and winches . This unit has a 100 gallon double wall slip tank in it and various chain saws and crap and corruption in it all the time. I use it to pull a 8000 lb 26 ft crew boat on a tandem axle trailer . Tires are often carrying a great deal of weight under severe conditions and they stand up well. If they did not I would use something else. My other ride is a 1953 Dodge M-37 and unfortunately I keep it bone stock so BFG does not make a bias ply all terrain in 9x16 tube type tire otherwise I would give them a try so I am stuck with the military non directional tires that last about 10,000 miles at best and are like driving on billiard balls on wet pavement.

Good Info especially at the end about tire wear. Thanks a lot man!

If you’re not hard core in the mud, these are by far the the best overall tires you can purchase. On most any trail on the weekend, and still a good ride to work Monday morning.

Can't get much more of a detailed review than this. Thanks

I have them on my 19 Raptor just north of you in BC. They've been great in soft beach sand, dry silty trails, and in mountain offroad snow. Mine are wearing great too. I've heard some complain about wet road performance, but I've been impressed with mine so far. Great vid.

I too Love these Tires! I have been amazed by how they do on rocks. I'd love to see a comparison with the KM3's.

Great way to do a review, I really appreciate the thought you put into all of your tech videos. I'm not sure on the KO2s but many of these ATs (like my Grabber ATXs) have a Severe Snow rated version (3PMS) and non-3PMS version which will give you a softer/tackier compound at the expense of longevity. Besides for daily driving on snowpacked/icy Montana highways, really impressive on deep snow and wet rocks with the softer rubber.

I'm on my second set, and am amazed how well they wear. The most durable tire I've ever used. Plus, they are practically run flat tires. I unknowingly drove to California and Back to Oregon twice(On and off road) with a big screw in one of them, and never had a flat.

On every four wheel drive vehicle I’ve ever owned I’ve had bfg ko2 on them I feel like they are the best total value in a truck tire. And unless your driving in absolute slop they do everything well and very predictable.

I’ve used a lot of different tires over the years. Always end up back at KOs and now KO2s. No, they aren’t the best for some things, they’re ATs, they aren’t supposed to be the best for some things. BUT, for the price, they wear well and do most things satisfactorily . They’re pretty quiet on the road, they do sand , some mud, they aren’t mud tires , but can get you through normal mud you may happen upon. I live in the south, so snow is just not on the menu, but I’m told they do ok, I wouldn’t know. I run them on everything truck we have, from the k5 blazer to the 2500 Hd Duramax , The wrangler, all out stuff. I’m done trying new stuff, for an AT, these just work for me.

I was an early adopter of the the KO2 in the 37" size. Was very happy with the performance in all conditions. The only problem was that they were 3/4" out of round. Sold them cheap and moved on~!

I've been running the Goodyear MTR w/ Kevlar. 33x12.5/15 Nothing but praise. They are amazing offroad and handle extremely well on the road. And despite being a daily driver and putting on 40+ miles per day, i end up having to replace them due to age long before the tread wears down enough for replacement. All you have to do is make sure your alignment is set and you rotate them every oil change.

Xj on 33s, I've had them for a little over a year with a few off-road trips and 20k miles. Original measurement was 15/32" now at 12-13/32. I usually run 30psi and will air down to about 15. Living in Virginia I'm waiting for snow to test them out.

I had a set of these on my Jeep for years. After they wore out I replaced them with set of BF Goodrich KM3. After modifying my Jeep during the covid19 bs. I wanted more grip. So I could go to the places I couldn't go to before. These KM3's are pretty good on the highway and definitely great offroad in mud and on these dusty rock covered trails here in northern Nevada. Thanks for the video! 🇺🇸

How would you compare the KM3s to KO2s on highway and offroad? I'm also in northern NV (I live at the lake) and am curious about your experience.

@@bigslacker666 On the highway they both work great. The KO2's definitely had less noise in my Jeep. Offroad the KM3's definitely more gripping power, the KO2's do well offroad especially when new. I admit the KO2's are better in snow on the street driving, the KM3's are okay, a bit slippery on ice but do very well in snow mud mix offroading. I hope this is what you're looking for.

Absolutely love my KO2's. I dont do much mud wheeling so they are the perfect tire for me. They are amazing in the rocks as you have said. The warranty is also fantastic on these tires.

I’ve had my KO2’s for 7 years with almost 90 thousand miles on them in cold winters, hot summers, rocky roads and pavement and I’m finally going to replace them with another set. I didn’t take care of them, I never rotated them and should’ve kept up with my Jeep’s alignment, imo my KO2’s would’ve probably lasted for 110 thousand miles. Best tires I’ve ever owned. The KO2’s that I will be putting on my Jeep now Have been updated with different materials hopefully they have the same quality as original. From what I hear they are also in process of upgrading them again.

Nice review. I skipped over these and went for Nittos a few years back and have been super happy.

I ran down 3 sets of KO's on my '97 f150 off road. Mostly highway and heavy haul (4-7k loads), and a lot of windy driving on the Missouri Ozark roads. Also, a lot of gravel road driving and the performance in deep snow on uphill grades was beyond impressive. I'm looking for a set of KO2's for my (new to me 2011 ecoboost super crew). What else can I say. Sold for life!

I absolutely LOVE these tires and it’s nice to see that u agree. I’m ok with it not being recommended for mud.

Yep; have realistic expectations, and you won’t be disappointed.

My KO2s are great on Cape Cod beaches! They recommend that you air down to 15 PSI and I have had no problems on soft sand there.

I love my BFG’s. Also in the PNW. I have mounted these on my last 4 LT/SUV rigs. Favorite story, I bought an 2014 New FJ Cruiser TRD, the BFG was mounted from the factory. I sold the rig at about 180k miles, same set of tires. It was a daily driver South Puyallup to Settle daily commute. Never has an issue.

I think we need a snow wheeling play list!

gold standard tire for “general” use

Wanted to find a review on these KO2's your vid came up. I clicked, watched until 8:29 and ordered my new KO2's just now! And subscribed! It's becoming rare to find a legit keep it to the point informative chanel that I can get direct answers quickly and about things that actually matter! Thanks man for saving me the hassle of deciding between the KO2 or the nitto grappler.

We ran a full set of 5 on a 03 F350 SRW hauling a 15K 5th wheel 40' Raptor. Doing 5 tire rotations we got 44K miles over 3 years, we still had a good summers worth of tread when we bought the next set.

I've had 2 sets of KO2, skittish on wet tarmac, pretty good off road. I went with Coopers ST Maxx next and love them.

I just watched another video, comparing the KO2s vs Cooper at3 4s and you can see the identical suv loose control for a split second with the ko2s on wet road. However, it was a light suv, which could be the reason.

These are great tires, I've had my set since I bought them new 5 yrs ago and they are under my cummins fj 80 since, it is 5000# heavy, great overall tire.

I have these on my JK Unlimited...and I’ve gone up my 7 degree hill in 18” of fresh snow with No problem....love these tires..

I have em. A bit expensive but I make trips to the landfill and worry about nails etc. So far no issues. My mechanic complains when he rotates them because of the weight. They dropped my gas milage but I have peace of mind. Overall a good compromise. I am so glad to hear that they will do OK in the snow.

Having a set of these previously myself I think your rating is pretty accurate. These tires do really good in basically everything except mud IMO. Loved the rock performance of these tires. Easy tire to live with. Good tire for the person usually not in mud or mostly on the hwy with some occasional off-road. Very durable in my experience.
