Despite being one of the older designs in the test, the KO2 remains competitive, particularly excelling in off-road and snow performance. While its on-road manners weren't class-leading, it delivered a well-rounded package that balanced off-road capability with acceptable road behavior.

BFGoodrich All Terrain TA KO2 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 39 reviews

Owners most consistently praise the BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 for its off-road traction, with just over half of reviewers calling it “massively better off-road” and particularly strong on rock, gravel and dirt. It also earns regular credit for durability: around two in five mention long tread life, and about one in five specifically report strong puncture resistance. On the road, opinion is more divided, but a meaningful share complain about a firm ride and increased road noise (each raised by around a third of owners). Wet performance is the other common compromise: wet grip is mixed overall, but around one in six explicitly criticise wet braking.

I've had these on my Land Cruiser for the last 4 years (only 1 winter on them, and then I got a dedicated set of snow tires). As far as paved-road performance goes, I'd say they are just average across the board. However, they are not great on corners in the wet and are a bit harsh on paved roads. I had them on for one winter, but was extremely let down. They perform average in the snow and on ice they are horrible. They are 3-peak rated, and some people rave about them in the winter, but I wasn't impressed at all. Comparing them to my Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5's they aren't even close.

Off-road is where these shine. I have taken many offroading/overlanding trips and will air down to 15-25psi depending on the terrain and how fast I'm going. They perform great on dirt and gravel roads. They are strongest on rock. They mould around rocks extremely well. They are not the best in mud. They get packed fairly easily, but I know they aren't at M/T, so I'm not expecting those results. I've never gotten a puncture or sidewall tear.

If you aren't going to off-road with these tires, I would not recommend them. Get something like the Michelin Defender.

It is a great solid tire on a 3rd gen Tacoma, but I did not off road or do enough logging roads to make the tires worth the purchase for me. The road noise and comfort on roads and highways are the only reason I would not buy them again for my use case. The wear and tear is great on these tires and a solid winter driver.

These are one of the default AT tires for a reason. I haven't used these off road extensively but they have seen a few rock covered trails and plenty of rough gravel roads with no issues. Mud traction is just OK but of course these aren't mud tires. Snow, slush, and even deep snow traction has been great, but grip on ice and hard packed snow is much less impressive and reminds you these aren't proper winter tires. This might be a compromise most AT tires make, but it's bad enough I wouldn't recommend these for someone who just wants all weather performance for a street driven truck/SUV. If you need a durable do anything on/off road tire, especially in warmer and drier climates, these would be a great option.

Great tire, leagues ahead of the OEM figment tire on the ute. Didn’t compromise NVH, didn’t compromise wet grip, massively better off-road.

In soft sand it sat a little lower, there was slightly more resistance but you are able to apply power much more effectively and so you can drive through the resistance much more easily.

No flats! I had two flats in 15,000kms on the stock tires (off-road across/ around Australia trip) and never had a flat since.

Moved to the Maxxis RAZR AT811 which is a little better in mud, but cannot go wrong with a BFG AT KO2!

An excellent AT tire in my opinion - it doesn't feel useless in any situation. I have been impressed with my KO2s in snow and in light offroad. Grip is great in both. I have driven over a few rocks and never felt there was a risk of a puncture. For any potential buyers, keep in mind there is a trade off on road. In the dry the tires can squeal in bends, especially if it is hot (tire pressure is correct). In the wet there is a higher risk of straight aquaplaning. The tires are noisier than regular road tires but I haven't felt any negative effects in comfort. In terms of wear I haven't noticed any decline in performance in the 4+ years I've been using them. One final though - when I ordered them, I didn't know there was an option w/o white lettering and this is what I got. A bit of a shame since my car is black and the RWL would have looked awesome.

But most disappointing, after the price tag, they need to be replaced now in January 2025 @ 149000km.
I appreciate that I may be a bit of an aggressive driver but, in my opinion, to only last 42000km is shocking !

I had these on my 4Runner for years. Used in all kinds of weather and terrain. Always gave me complete confidence no matter what : snow, wet, dry, pot holes, dirt.... you name it I was confident these tires could handle it. I would buy again. Also, for a snow/all terrain they were reasonably quiet and comfortable and gave good wear. Keep em aired up and rotate and you will get the warranty wear out of them.

In order to get even reasonable fuel mileage with these tires, a minimum of 60psi are required, making these tires brutally rough over even the smallest bumps in the road. They grip like glue in dry and wet weather, but sadly I have not had a chance to take them offroad since I got them installed in replacement of the noisy Goodyear Wrangler OEM tires that came on my 2019 GMC AT4. On a smooth highway, these tires disappear and are a dream to drive on. But once the bumps start - things get rough. These are load range E tires, and the high pressures are normal and they love a heavy load, but man you pay a price in rough road comfort. I will probably not buy these again. but instead opt for a load range C tire that can handle lower pressures and swallow up the bumps a bit better.

Initially these work great but the rubber hardens up over time and any type of cold or wet weather turns them into hockey pucks.

Great AT tire that is very hard wearing. Wet grip and braking I found was a little poor.
Off road it is excellent.
