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

Pros:

Great On/Off Road Handling
|

Cons:

Slightly lower MPG for my F-250
|

At the 3,000 mile mark these puppies are handling and holding up better than expected. For those of you who have heard the "positive" hype about these tires, IT'S ALL TRUE. They are great, even on my Ford F-250 Super Duty. I recommend rotating them every 5,000 miles, especially if you put them on a Super Duty Truck. I'll reply again at the 10,000 mile marker. God bless...

I had several sets of these on my Jeep and loved them in the snow @ Tahoe. They do great in sand and dirt and mud. I was trying to decide on new tires for my new 2010 GMC AWD Savana. I looked at everything in the AT category. I am glad I went with these BFG A/T KO's again. Why bother with anything else? They are super smooth as good as the new OEM tires that just came off the vehicle. The BFG is a Great handling tire and all around driving highway tire that performs in deep Tahoe snow and offroad. Great Tires!

This is a street tire for Wilderness Wannabes. Looks reasonably narly...maybe to substitute for low testosterone levels for urban 4x4 owners. Sorry gang but the truth bites sometimes.
It handles pavement well. But if you travel 95% pavement...loose the image Dude and buy some street rubber.
I've run these tires on 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton pickups in Mexico and Canada. I've also run Bridgestone V-Steels and Toyo M55s on the same gravel roads in the Sierra Madres of Sinaloa and the Monashee mountains of British Columbia. The BFGs treads plug up on the slightest hint of moisture (light mud, forest debris, leaves, pine needles, hog fuel road ballast...) and have less traction in sand than the others.
They run fine on the highway but are simply normal tires off-PAVEMENT... thats "pavement"...not "road". Running gravel roads can be done with any LT with no comparison needed. It's more an issue of truck weigh, tire width and weight of your right foot than the brand or type of tire. Fatties will slide around while skinny cutters hold on gravel. How often do you see professional foresters, prospectors, loggers, drillers running around on fat tires? Go skinny on logging and gravel roads.
Now...back to the subject...
Off-ROAD...that is, truley off maintained gravel roads...skidder trails, decommissioned logging roads, cart and burro trails, sneaking through the forest on ATV cut trails... these tires are lousy and clog up way too easily.
Do they last? I don't know. All the trucks I run are company issued. I just abuse them for work and turn them back in.
The only reason I gave these tires a 5 and not a 2 or 3 is that they are indestructable. I've never cut a sidewall or punctured between the tread blocks, even with an overloaded 3/4 ton. That fact alone may be enough to warrant getting them, especially if you load your truck with tools, Tidy Tanks, drill steel or other heavy stuff.
If you just play with your truck, put street rubber on your daily 4x4 and get an air jack and wrench and a second set of M/Ts for the weekend.
I've passed on these BFGs for my own off-pavement Ford Excursion and run 235/85/16 E rated 10 ply Toyo M55s...cheaper and better in the dirt.

BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO Tire 235/75/15
Vehicle: 2002 KIA Sportage - 4000lbs
Location: Alaska
Street: Average, Can hold it's own.
This isn't a highway tire, but it's predictable.
Sand: Above average, Good choice, Not the best.
Does good for such a skinny tire.
Rock: Poor, This is not a tire for rock crawling.
Does not have the tread pattern and side lugs needed.
Mud: Poor, This is not a tire for Slingin Mud.
Does not have a wide enough tread pattern to clean quickly and there are no side biting lugs.
Trail: Excellent, Not the best, but one of them.
Cuts through loose gravel like a champ. stomps through tundra and vegitative covered areas easily.
Snow: Average, Can hold it's own.
Light dry snow is a breeze to cut through, Thick wet snow becomes like mud and won't clean as well.
Ice: Average, Can hold it's own.
Has enough siping to get a hold on ice. No substitute for studded tires or Blizzacs though.
Overall: This is an all terrain tire. Period.
This tire does well in most all terrains, but if you are looking for a tire to dominate a specific type of terrain, then your in the wrong catagory.
Recomendation: If you can afford it, get the best tire suited to the type of terrain you drive on.
I drive all the terrains, and this tire does GOOD in all of them, but less spectacular than terrain specific tires.

I dont recommend this tire. I had the BFG All Terrain tires on my truck. Had problems with the truck always pulling to the right on the highway. Had allignment checked and everything was good. Changed over to different brand of tires and never had anymore problems. The BFG All Terrain handles poorly on the highway.
