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.

bought them used 2017 tires and its 2023 now still alot of thread left but i can notice the wear now
but hey its gone though 7 summers where the dubai temps reach 55'c , road temp around 90'c
used it for offroading and city
too noisy and not comfy
but i feel very safe with these tires and they look badass
No doubt these tires are tough and last. They are good in gravel and sand and average in mud. Good for rock crawling although Ginny do too much of this in a 6m sprinter. However, wet handling was scary at times. Any wet white line or expansion joint caused a loss of traction and some scary moments. Wet braking on tarmac was also really poor. Sadly in the U.K. the choice of AT tires is limited with most of the best not being imported….BUT if 80% plus of your time is on tarmac I would look elsewhere.

Bought this tire primarily for winter (deep snow) and off road use. It was great for that.

Good in dry road as off road as well with excellent handling and braking
Good braking in wet asphalt road less during turn accelerations
After 10000 kmh they became very hard, therefore the comfort became so hard that i needed to replace them
Good in mud but not deep thick mud
These tires are dual compound and once the initial softer rubber wears away the remaining compound is much harder resulting in poor wet weather grip. Have had the last 3 generations of BFG AT’s and these are the worst in wet conditions.
I have had several sets of these tires over the last 20 years plus. I have used them in every condition from mountains, slickrock, sand, mud and desert terrain. They have been tough and dependable. Several things impress me like the smooth powerful traction the provided in rocky terrain and sidewall durability. They provide great traction in snowy and wet conditions. Ice and clay type muds are about what you would expect. I have purchased over 6 sets of the tires over the years and have yet to be disappointed by them. My only problem has been tread wear which is mostly a function of the terrain I drive in like lava rocks, sand and sharp limestone. What I find amazing about this tire is the smooth ride once I return to the pavement. It's like riding on a cloud with a little more noise. I have to say BF Goodrich has made many improvements over the years in this tire. I am getting ready to purchase another set of these tires but have also been looking at the Mud Terrain TA KM3 but will probably stick with th All Terrain KO2.
Too much noise and too many compromises on-road, especially in the wet, for me personally. They are extremely durable and offer good off-road feel, so it depends on the application. I love the fact that I can let them down to 1.5 bar if I need more comfort and footprint off-road without risking anything to go wrong.
Great tires, they were able to survive in well shape for 45K miles, previous Maxxis AT771 last 25K miles on same conditions. At least 15K miles were on gravel roads, heavy loaded and high speed (above 50 miles/h), never any issue, the last 5K miles they were not in his best, but still Ok for summer.
