Review of the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO
As with the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A
KO is an extremely popular tire of choice for many 4wheelers who want decent
off-road performance while maintaining good street performance. This radial AT
with its highly siped semi-aggressive tread pattern and 3-ply sidewalls it is a
good choice for all-around use including dry loose dirt, light mud, sand, and
light to moderate rock crawling. While not as aggressive as its Mud Terrain
counterpart, this tire is a good performer in its class making it a very popular
choice as an OEM tire with Ford, General Motors, Toyota and Daimler-Chrysler.
As with BFG's other tires, the BFG All Terrain T/A KO has exceptional wear
qualities with a longer wear factor on the trail and on the street over most All
Terrain tires on the market. are somewhat vulnerable to sharp rocks. Sizes
available up to 37x12.50R18/D.Manufacturers

They are a nice tyre, smooth on the dirt, good on wet roads, ok in the mud, recomended for those folks who would like to see nature without going through real muddy terrain.

Pros:
|
Tred lasts forever, good grip in snow, sand, dirt, on wet, dry road
|
|
Cons:
|
Start to cracks after 4 years, not the best on ice (but what tire is?)
|
|
This is the best all-around tire I've ever run on my truck or Jeep. It seemed to grip best on the jeep I had, but I think the light rear end on the truck will spin any tire when you first start out. Once in 4-wheel drive though, the truck would go through snow drifts and a foot of mud with no problem.
I've been through some serious winters in Michigan/Ohio, and they were great tires. I was slipping a little on ice, so I decided to have them siped at the tire shop; it was a smart decision. They gripped so much better, I will now sip every tire I ever buy.
They also last forever. After 40K miles, the tred looks new. I find this amazing, since I only got 20K out of the crappy, super-slippery Michelin LTXs I had previously. I do rotate every 5K miles.
The only weakness is the cracking after 4 years. They went from looking brand new to getting huge cracks in the sidewall and tred almost overnight. It had nothing to do with the siping, as my non-siped set on the Jeep and my dads set did the same after 4 years. Must be something about the rubber breaking down. I've never had tires last 4 years, as the tred usually wore down in 2 or 3 years, so maybe cracking is normal? Other than the cracking, this tire (when siped) is awesome!

I have these on my Ram 2500 V10. My truck is a farm truck and only gets about 5k miles per year. Had to warranty replace the tires twice within 5 years. Will never buy again, Michelin (owns goodrich) are much better but more expensive.
Also DO NOT GO ON SNOW,ICE,OR MUD! I have 0 traction in these conditions, I thought it was my v10 maybe had too much TQ but everyone is having the same problems. What good are they if they dont last and cant go offroad?
TA KO's = FAILURE

Highway, snow, rain

Cons:

Tread wear, mud
|

Good tires. I live in Wyoming, have them on my 1/2 ton GMC that I use for hunting, fishing, backpacking, and occasionally just for getting around when the roads are snowy or icy (which is October through May). These tires handle moderate off-road use well - snow (up to 18" without chains), packed snow, shallow mud, gravel, small rocks, trails. They drive well on snowy roads (powder or packed snow) and handle wet pavement decently enough. They do not do well in deep mud or really deep snow (clog and spin), and they WILL throw gravel. An excellent tire for all around use if you don't want to keep changing out. Not the tire for serious off-road adventures in mud, serious snow bogging (been stuck a time or two in 2-3' drifts) or rock-hopping.
I've found tread wear is only average - I've got 25k on mine and it's time to start looking again before winter comes back! Traction drops off precipitously when the tread is < 50%

I have this tire on my 89 Jeep Wrangler. Its a pretty smooth riding tire and on the trial it hooks up pretty good. i brought it through mud and sand and they do good for AT's. As long as u dont go through really thick mud u wont get stuck easy...unless u cant drive through mud

Pros:
|
Good off road
|
|
Cons:
|
Poor on wet pavement and ice under snow, very noisy
|
|
Fitted to a Mitsubishi Shogun Field which means it has a better traction system than a regular Shogun. Went on a Landrover test track and was the only one to get through a mud hole over the hood. Onto wet grass field just spun the tires and kept going. Never gets stuck off road. Now the cons very noisy on pavement, great in snow, dangerous on ice under snow they just slide, slide on wet pavement.

Ill rate this 10/10 Everything i could ever want in a tyre, i run 31x10.5x15 on a pajero and i have had them for 8 months/ 18000kms still 80% tread , been on ROUGH tracks and these tyres are very reliable to me, not the best in mud but spose if you want muddys then buy muddies.
People complain about this tyre, they are fools because they probably flog the living crap out of them and over estimate them, they are a good tyre if your epecting to get miles on dirt trails, but if your a 4x4 mud terrain enthusiast dont bother, but 10/10 for this tyre, way better then coopers atr

Decent price, good treadlife, good in slushy snow, great in rain
|
|
Cons:
|
soso in powder, poor in mud
|
|
Good all around tire, but not the best. Good handling, wet road, slushy road, shallow thin mud, and good mileage. Not very good in powder or any real mud. Honestly not the best tire for the money, although they are far tougher than some better performing treads. I've run Jetzons and Coopers that have performed as well in everything plus better performance in powder and mud, and at a lower cost.
