The Tire Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tire scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Despite its rigid structure and aggressive image, BF Goodrich actually turned out to be quiet on the road. A mediocre braking performance and unstable handling on wet surfaces, but they are perfect for off-road, and the strength of the sidewalls is incredible.

Will BF Goodrich make all Terrains types available in the UK for 265x50x20 for a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

There's currently no plans for a 20" version of this tire, sorry.

Top 3 BFGoodrich Mud Terrain TA KM2 Reviews

Given 70% while driving a Nissan Patrol Y60 4.2TD LWB ST Man. (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 30,000 spirited miles
I've been driving 4x4's now for over 25 years (about 2 million K's) and usually ONLY use BFG's as here in OZ,
If your Tire fails you, you may die out there...
Something to think about?
I had these on my FULLY MODIFIED GQ Nissan Patrol LWB 4.2 turbo D Man.
This was a brilliantly set up 4x4. So much so it was on the cover and the main story in 4Wheel Drive Action Magazine here in Australia.
I put my life in the capability of the BFG's on many occasions without a second thought as these things are just so dependable.
For a "MUD" tire on the road the dry grip is fine but let that surface get wet at all and you now have a challenge to keep your correct line into or out of any corner and your breaking distance needs to at least double.
Off road... NOTHING comes close to these almost bullet proof boots however wet rock walls are a challenge.

I got about 90,000Klm out of one set and did 50,000klm on the second set at a bit over half worn before selling the truck to a Darwin resident.
Some of these miles were around town, open country dirt/rocky tracks and many 4 wheel drive parks just to challenge her.
The biggest issue with these BFG's is you need a good tire guy that knows how to balance them up and rotate and wheel align often.

Would I buy these again. ABSOLUTELY! nothing on the market still today comes close.

Have a nice Day!

Initial Impressions Review
Given 56% while driving a Mitsubishi triton (265/65 R16) on mostly country roads for 20,000 spirited miles
After having a set of KO and KO2s I was really excited for the Daddy of BFGs off-road range. They are better off-road, no doubt. I also got a slightly taller and wider tire which helpful off-road also. The dry weather performance was excellent, the comfort was excellent. When they wore they did develop quite a loud hum on tarmac.

But they were always diabolical in the wet, driving up a twisty mountain road resulted in languid oversteer at incredibly low speeds with very light throttle inputs. Outrageously fun but I was genuinely concerned to let anyone drive the car because it was so unsafe.

Then we went on a trip up Cape York with two other vehicles, one fitted with BFG KO2s and one with Maxxis RAZR AT811s. The Maxxis got up a muddy creek (Gunshot Creek) exit the BFG could not, lot’s of confounding factors but I felt the Maxxis AT outperformed the BFG MT in the mud. The KO2 was a very good tire also, but not as capable in the mud as either the MT or the Maxxis. I now run Maxxis RAZR ATs and they are brilliant, safe in the wet, quiet, comfortable, and they throw mud like no one’s business.

These are not appropriate tires for any use case other than 100% off-road.

Given 90% while driving a Land Rover Defender (235/85 R16) on a combination of roads for 85,000 average miles
Drive a defender for a living towing generators for utilities plus a bit of farming on the side. Although 99% of work is on Tarmac, these are the only tire for that crucial 1% off road. Driven in all weather, at all times of day and night, with 3 tons of payload behind, with no problems what so ever. Ride superd, considering a defender isn't exactly the height of luxury in any format. Front tires replaced after 85000 miles, changing rears now after 95000. Wheels never moved around to aid wear, consider doing this a complete waste of time.

Latest BFGoodrich Mud Terrain TA KM2 Reviews

Given 86% while driving a Nissan D21 modified (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20 easy going miles
For a Mud Terrain tire it is extremely good on the road with very little noise.
Off road it really comes into it's own as you can feel them biting their way into the mud or snow.
Very long wearing too!
