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

Use these on my Expedition 4x4 and are by far the best tires that I've ever had. I live in ON, Canada, and these tires just blow right through the snow like a sunny day in the summer. Goodyear and Nitto that I had previously don't even compare and will leave you stuck in comparable situations.

Pros:

great in snow and mud
|
|
Cons:

looses traction as tread gets low
|
|
I have a set of 31x10.5 on a lifted pathfinder and found the tire to perform excellent in the snow. I've been up mointains in the interior of b.c.driving through snow up to my knees and didn't get stuck. I've put these tires through a lot and they've performed beyond expectations. The only bad was that when the tread gets below 50% the syping dissapears and they don't perform as well. Great wear life. These are my second set and would highly recomend them.

Pros:

Best all around use tire I have ever bought. PERIOD!
|
|
Cons:
|
aging tread design could use an update..
|

These are by far the best all aound tires I have ever used. That is why it is named an ALL TERRAIN. If you buy these tires for mud use, then you will be let down.
These will do the job of getting you through mild mud but deep thick goopy mud, well thats beyond its limitations as this isnt a dedicated mud tire. BUT this tire will make you happy in gravel, light mud use, hard packed dirt, grass, street and just about anywhere else. thats why its an all terrain. It isnt perfect for every terrain but is great in just about all.
I have used these tires for yerars on various vehicles from a ford ranger to kia spoortage 4x4 to 2 different full size broncos to my F250 super duty I currently have. I always great mileage out of them and never have been unhappy about my purchase.
I recommend these to anybody and everybody I talk to. I won't buy anything else as these do what i need them to do and much more!

Pros:
|
Street, Sand, Quiet on the street
|
|
Cons:
|
Mud, Rocks, Snow, Ice, anything wet, Hydroplanes Horribly
|
|
I own a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and it is my daily driver but also push it to it's max when crawling and off roading. I drive 500 miles from AZ to CA and they do alright for street driving. When taken off road, they SUCK! Mud dont even bother, Rocks they're ok, sand it does best in. Snow it sucks and also with ice. When in rain, these tires have no traction. I recommend to never get these tires unless you want to spend the big bucks to get a street tire.

I have these on my 07 f150 and they have been great with getting around a south georgia plantation but now with 25k miles i will need new ones in about another 10k miles. I hear where people get 50 to 80k miles out of these but they are mostly on paved roads. mine have about 15k mile of off road use. i will get different tires next time

Pros:

Great for general terrain, if you mix things up a lot. (only "snow rated" a/t)
|
|
Cons:
|
not specific or perfect for any terrain
|
|
I have used these tires for everything from 65 down the highway to 3 feet of mud. They may not be perfect but they have gotten me through a lot of stuff other tires couldn't. The are fairly quiet and grab well on pavement, rock and sand. great in the snow, and decent in mud.

Had these now for 6 months. downgraded from mtz for longer treadwear and couldn't be more pleased. Requires a little more pedal than my mtz but will clean with enough speed. doesn't dig down fast like mtz and haven't been stuck yet. 2000 Z71. you just have to have the horsepower to clean them out. If not your on slicks

Great highway use, really quiet
|
|
Cons:

Lack of traction in mud, low traction on wet roads
|

I had these tires on my 86 GMC 4X4 for about 5 years and they have done really well. I had the 315/70R17's and they were really neat. But the problems i had with the tire was because where i live in Florida that i live near the swamp and this tire has LOW traction in the sloppy mud, and driving when it rains since i got a buffed out 350 with lots of torque and when i give it normal throttle, im all over the place and spinning out..just by slowly going on the gas, but other than that, if your gonna stay on the street, these tires are perfect

Pros:

Good tread life, good offroad traction in everything but sticky mud. Makes my truck corner like a sports car... has great handling aspects
|
|
Cons:
|
I did not get the 50K advertised. Cake up almost immediately in any mud, but it's not a mud tire, leave mud for mt's
|
|
Drove on f150 SCREW FX4. Offroaded heavily. Put lots of road miles on them. Do very good in rain and dry offroad circumstances. As someone stated before me, VERY dangerous to drive on sloped hill after recent rain... very slippery. I almost rolled down a hill in my truck on a slope... With mud terrains, not an issue - Again, if you're in the mud alot, get a mud terrain tire

hate this tire i went threw two set in less than a year i have an 08 powerwagon and it came stock with the 285/70/17 in less than six months the tred was all chiped one time a rock cut about a two inch gash right threw the lugs and in two the tire it self. that was set one. got a set of 305/75/17 from a buddy who bought the wrong size and agian didnt wear well at all this time i was down in south texas doing some pig hunting and we got some rain just enought to get the groung good and wet and the tires wouldnt get any grip i was sliping and sliding every were. that when i finely had enough bought my self a set of the fierce attitude Mt's and i love them do every thing you could every want very well never once have i got stuck or even had two use 4wd. you would think dodge would put better tires on the most capable 4x4 truck there is but who know.
