Got 60,000 miles on mine so far on my Tundra! Lots of back roads and highway. Love these tires!!

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.

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.

Dirt Lifestyle, congratulations on this video. It is without doubt the most technically objective review of any tire out there on KZfaq. As a long term user of this superb "all-round-do-everything -extremely-well-but-not-perfect-at-any-specific-task" tire, I feel your review is a totally accurate and fair on every point. Outstanding job sir!

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 the KO2’s. Just did 7,102 miles from Illinois. Went through Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, and back home. Took highway 1 from San Fran north. Lots of curves! They handled everything I needed them to. Great review!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Not the best at anything, but really good at everything.

I use to sell these tires and they are the only ones that would hold up for people going on dirt roads a a lot!!!

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

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.

I put these on anything that drives in the snow. Drove out of 3ft of fresh snowfall last winter.

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

One of the best technical and categorical analysis of ANY product out there, not just tires. Awesome.

Just bought these. I haven't been in the market for at's for over 10 years and A LOT changed. I did research till my head hurt and picked SOMETHING ELSE! The guys at the tire shops talked me out of my other choice and into these. Not ashamed to admit I lost sleep agonizing over my choice. Your video helped set my mind at ease. Thank you sir.😌

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have at least 5 rigs with ko2 and I will never switch unless I build a crawler. Best daily driving and off-roading tire on the market. Had these on my rigs for over 3 years only time I had a problem with warring on them was when I put them on my trailer and it would just chip the tread. But other then that best tire ever!

I love my KO'2s!!! Phenomenal road handling, a boss on dirt and rocks. Tough as steel!

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...

Been driving BFG's for years. Really the only tire I really trust. Here in Africa it's the only tire that I have no problem with punctures at all.

Just bought 5 33 inch ko2s for my Jeep. I’m not too concerned with the Mud capability, I only ever off-road here in California in dirt and gravel and rocky terrain. This video made me happy about my purchase!

Really good review. I’m in SoCal so I don’t need mud terrain tires. I’m happy with my KO2s. Really good compromise for my daily driver.

I have loved these tires for a while. I have been using BFG ATs since the 70s they have always performed for me better than any other. 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

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

As I just a set of KO2s put on my Tacoma this morning I see this video!

Have had ko all terrains. 30 years and never left in the mud any place.

Been running ko's since 2001. ABSOLUTELY LOVE 'EM!!!! Currently running my 1st set of ko-2's. ABSOLUTELY LOVE 'EM!!! 🤘😎🇨🇱

Thanks for the review. I have heard a lot of people recommend them, but never a review like this.

Great review. I would have to completely agree. Ran them on my Ram sport 1500 for 2 yrs. But the Toyo AT3 on the same Ram sport is game changer. The Toyo At3 outperforms on every level I've personally seen and done. Had the at3 for over a yr and still look and feel brand new. Go with the at3

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.

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.

I love my KO2’s. Period. I have them on my F150 .They perform excellent in deep snow and ice. Quiet on the freeway. Great sand tires. Love them !

I've had mine for five years and they have been a really good tire. Mine are a mixed use with a lot of highway miles. I would buy them again.

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 have 35” on my wrangler for 50k miles, still have enough tread for another 12k to 16k miles. Rotate and balance every 6k miles. Incredible tire. Going to try the 37” next.

Most all-terrain tires actually perform really well on sand. The close tread pattern allows it to float on the sand as opposed to digging holes. The only thing that performs better is a dedicated sand paddle tire.

My raptor came with a brand new set of these. So far I like them.

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!

Pretty spot on. I keep buying sets of these. Took my 100 series to the beach this year and was shocked how well they did without airing down. It was extremely convenient. 👍👍

I've had Bfg all Terrains on my jeep for that last 16 years, 33in and now 35in. I liked them enough to put a set of 32in on my expedition. Couple weeks a go I got to try them out on trail 22 windrock park and I was really impressed how they handled the slick clay mud on that trail although nothing was deep like a mud bog just wet rocks and rutted out hills . I had them at 15psi no beadlocks. So if you drive alot and still want a capable tire then I'd recommend the BFG all terrains.

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'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.

This is exactly the review and information I was looking for on this tire as I’m considering switching from KM2’s to these KO2’s. Thank you !

Just picked up 35inch BFG MT 3 love them

thank you very much for this video. I am looking to upgrade my useless factory tyres on my Transit 350, they tire shop recommended these today and you have confirmed it. Finally I can drive my van during the winter

Two full years on the Tacoma. Commuting, gravel road driving, snow, hunting etc. Still going strong. Love them.

Great evaluation, I work for BFG. And I put the KO2 on all of my trucks.

I put 50k on a set of ko1 33s and my friend put them on his jeep and he has 90k on them and I confirmed that because I gave him that jeep so they have 140k and still have a little ways to go to the wear bars and they wore perfectly. Those tires wear like iron and work ridiculously well. My friend is going to get at least another 10k out of his probably more because he doesn't want to buy tires or can't. That's the second set of tires I've given him lol he's not getting another set. I just put a new set of ko2's on my wife's Cherokee so hopefully they do as well as the ko1s. I run Goodyear mtr's 33s then 35s on my jeep they wear fairly quickly I've been through 3 sets in 80k probably maybe more but I don't wear mine all the way down. Also the mtr's dont wear very evenly unless you rotate them religiously

You just answered my question as to how these tires perform in snow. I have these tires on my Gen 1 SVT Raptor, this will be my first winter with the truck so I'm glad that I found your review. Thanks for doing this video.

Really glad you mentioned rubber compounds. Really great review.

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!

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.

Just want to add my 2 pennies. I am an industrial electrician, I work in metal-nonmetal mining. These quarries/mines are the most rigorous test I believe you could possibly throw at a tire. Mud, rocks of all sizes, ruts and just very rough terrain day after day not to mention on the road I average 700 miles a week of windshield time going from mine to mine. A little history, my last company truck was a 2015 F250 diesel, 4 door 4x4. I ran 3 different tires before switching to BFG KO2's. It came with Firestone TransForce AT's. They last less than 1 year (approx. 25k miles) before I got a blowout going 75 on the highway. My tire guy suggested I go with Michelin Defender LTX's, I did. 20k later another blowout... Next up, Firestone TransForce AT2's. 30k miles and I noticed cracks on the sidewalls... Then went to KO2's. I ran that set 45k miles and replaced them for wear, rinse and repeat 3 more times each set being replaced at about 45k miles. Not a single flat tire, not even once. My newer truck is a 2022 Ram 2500 4 door, 4x4 diesel. Came again with Firestone TransForce AT's. 18k miles and a sidewall punctured on a rock. Replaced with all 4 tires with KO2's just at 40k miles with them and will be replacing them around spring with KO3's as with the harsh environment I am constantly in is twice as hard on tires as the average driver will ever face. For safety, strength and reliability, you'd be a fool to buy anything other than BFG's KO'2 or KO3 for your truck. My personal truck has KO2's with 60k miles on them and about due for new.

Just purchased my 1st set of KO2's for my 2020 Tundra TRD Pro. I do a lot of highway driving but I love the ability to take this rig offroad and not worry about the tires keeping up. I also deal with hurricane season and flash flood conditions in my area of Texas. I also plan to spend a lot more time in the hill country of Texas so it sounds like I am in good hands. Thanks for the review.

I love my BFG's. I run 10 ply on my superduty that is my plow truck in the winter and log skidder spring and fall.

The ko2 is the best sand tire I could ask for and they ride nice on the road. The tread lasts a long time.

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 really like these tire reviews for stuff like my ranger that'll end up in everything at some point. Good at all ,master of none. Currently have general grabber x3 on it (I'm deployed so haven't been able to test them) and they look like they'll be a good tire

Getting ready to purchase tires for my Cherokee. This was actually very helpful. Thanks!

I have a set of the 10 ply version of these on my 06' F150 and I love them. They're very grippy on snowy roads. We got 28" last week over the course of a few days and I was out and about to and from work no problem.

This is my first choice tire for any of my rigs, for as much as we all want to be "offroaders" this is a great all around tire for what most us will use them for. Great wear and easy to balance ....My dad ran a set on his daily driven 93 XJ almost 100k, till they finally just wore out and the tire shop sold him a new set . LoL!!

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! 🇺🇸

I’m going on 3 years with my 37” KO2s. Usually hit Moab 2 times a year and these tires have held up extremely well.

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~!

Best tires in my opinion, I have 31s on my 93 pathfinder

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 remember when the BFG all terrain came out in 1976 and put a set on my CJ5. This tire has been a leader in all terrain for 48 years and still the best seller today

I have 265-75-16 KO2's on my 06 Taco, also have 35-12.5-17 KO2's for her when my lift is installed. Plus front DV8 winch bumper, rear Fab4 bumper with spare tire mount. KO2's are awesome. Can't wait to try them out this winter..I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. 4 seasons of fun wheelin'!

We use them in Dubai, they great sand tires. It's say 8~9

gold standard tire for “general” use

The best tyre for me. Using all seasons. Got the first generation for 12 years ! Now with the second one. Great tyre and style.

I agree with your review. Overall a great tire. On-road, they barely make noise and they ride comfortably at 75- 80 mph. The only thing is that at least for me, it greatly impacted my fuel economy. On my 2015 suburban, the 275/65/r18 BFG caused the truck to barely transition from V8 to V4 mode, causing my MPG on the highway (70 mph) to go from 24 mpg to 16mpg, and in the city (40mph), I went from 15.4 mpg to 11.8MPG. great overall tire, but I got rid of my hummer due to the MPG being 11.9 and now I'm getting virtually the same. Maybe I need to regear to get better fuel economy. Nice video

Love my KO2's on my Ford Ranger. I've gotten over 55K miles on them, and still have Colorado legal winter tread. Likely the best all around tire for light to medium suv's or trucks. Above the half ton size, they have wear issues, especially if you do a lot of towing.

My family runs K02s for all our vehicles, mostly street use. Great mostly street tire, perfect for dirt road and jobsite driving, not something to take on the trails. On the street the most miles we've got out of a set was 160k with no weird wear patterns

I'm on my 5th set of BFG AT's ranging in sizes from 31's to 285's to 35's over a 20 year period on old CJ's to my fullsize Blazer and now my "midsize" Nissan. Best AT tire!!! Period! Cannot argue FACTS! Unfortunately you wouldn't have a channel without reviews. Lol

I have 285/70/R17 KO2’s on my truck and I’ve never gotten stuck in the mud with these tires. They work really good and the same goes for hard rain. I’ve put Over 20,000 miles on them and I rotate every 5k and the tread wear is nice and even. These tires have gotten me out of everything so I don’t know why people give these tires hate.

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.

I have them on both my Dakota and Full size Ram. I love them! I actually ran over a 2x6 with nails(A LOT) sticking out and didn't pop a single hole. On gravel they kick up rock like no business even at a slow speed, the traction is unbelievable compared to standard tire. I tend to be in a hurry some days and my cornering has improved lol. I have stopped white knuckling when it's icy out, not saying that these tires make me invincible but they sure as hell improve shitty road conditions. When it comes to the dreaded Hydroplane the possibility has decreased considerably. But these are just a small town MN, hold my beer and watch this shit, Lady's opinion. Each person will find a fault with something given the chance it's how you deal with it that matters

I hear ya about this tire not being such a mud tire…. It works for my highway, dirt roads, snow and icy conditions! I’m super pleased and I’m a fan boy now! Peace Be The Journey!

I live in Az. and except for mud, these tires are MAGNIFICENT! I have em on my ‘93 OBS F-150 4x4. Super quiet and smooooth on pavement, long lasting mileage (50K tread warranty) and handles almost all terrain (except mud), like a champ! But…you pay what you get for….they ain’t the cheapest. Nice, fair, and honest video brother.

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.

#1 Falken AT3Ws #2 BFGoodrich KO2s #3 Toyo Open Country III That's my top rated tires of all terrains after testing all of them plus Yokohama, Coopers, General Grabbers, Nitto, etc etc...

I've had a set of 275 60 20s on my '16 GMC Sierra reg cab long bed for almost 2 years and I LOVE them! Almost zero road noise, handle very well through the curves on asphalt.

I can't believe I just discovered this channel a few days ago! I love the content!!!!

This is exactly what I needed. I’m about to buy a set for my truck!

I love these tires, I’ve used them for about 10 years. I daily drive these on my work truck. Much better than a highway tire but definitely not a mud terrain tire.

Putting these on my Canyon AT4 next week! Can't wait. Thanks for the video, great review!

I have been running these tires on several different vehicles for three decades and I love them. True, not the best in mud but great everywhere else. Hiway and snow/sand they are great and durability wise, they rarely go flat, super tough sidewalls and treads. I tried other high end tires and always regret it

I loved my KO2's on my XJ. Quiet and smooth on the streets and highways, yet nice and grippy on the dirt, rocks, sand and mud on the trails. They did so well as a "Jack of All Trades" tire, that I bought another set for my JL Wrangler Islander. Hopefully they'll last 50,000 miles or so. The old KO all-terrains seemed to lose tread after 25,000.
