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

Wears too fast

After 35,000 km they have very little tread left. They were rotated 4 times and wore evenly but no tire should wear that quickly.When new excellent in snow and was impressed but wear entirely too quick.

I own a 2005 2500 crew cab 4x4 with duramax. Wore out in 25,000 miles have to warranty replace them. never took them in mud, but slippery in snow and ice.Also noticed the tread would chunk out.I also would not reccomend sipping any tires;think that breaks down the tire life. My first set cost me $997.00 and then you get a mileage credit, so the second set will cost me$650.00.So if i get roughly the same mileage out of them that comes to a wopping $1647.00 dollars for a set of tires for a 50,000 mile tire. THANKS B.F. GOODRICH!

I had always wanted to buy a set of these but could not afford them. When I bought my used 2003 F150 Supercrew FX4, the previous owner had just put a set on them. I have almost 70,000 miles on them. I do drive 95 % on the road, with only occasional trips off road down pipeline ROW's. I need a new set now, not because of treadwear. The front end got knocked out of alignment and wore the insides of the front tires. If not for that, I think I could get another 10,000 miles out of the set. They have been great on the street, rain, and dry dirt roads. I DID notice that they would pick up small pieces of crushed gravel in the tires. I DO keep them aired up to 50 PSI on the road, which makes for a rough ride, but helps with wear and tear. Very quiet on the street. No experience with snow as am in Alabama. I do think the rubber material is very tough, as I did NOT get any flats when riding a crushed concrete road that had a bunch of rebar in it. The previous tires and others riding the road experienced several flats. All in all, I am happy with them and want to buy a new set, but they are very expensive.

Could not get the BFGs suck in the sand great ride on the road with no noise. Also good on gravel and dirt, but anything other than light mud they will get you stuck. I would buy again but i am going to buy the SS M16s

These are Awesome Tires, I have now had (7) Sets across (7) vehicles ranging from 30" to 35" on (4) differnt Jeeps (1- being a Grand Cherokee), a 4Runner and a Tahoe.
They are excelent in the Snow and Ice, the only tire my wife wants on her SUV.
I have used them on Trails around the Mid Atlantic and Pa with suprisingly great results. No I am not calling a Mountain Road a trail. I am talking about bonified trails @ Rock Run & Rausch Creek OffRoad Parks and Old Logging Trails in the Allegahnies.
The tire seems to get a bad wrap about its mud capabilities, but mud is not its focus. If you wheel hard with heavy or deep mud frequently, then you should have a mud tire its that simple.
If your are looking for an extremely versatile tire that will last, then I highly recommend them.

I had the Michelin LTX at/2's on my 2009 Tacoma 4x4 double cab...good tire no complaints but when I bought my 2012 Tacoma I wanted something that had a more aggresive tread pattern on it.Both the michelins and my new set of Bfg's were 265 75 16's but the bf's are Lt tires and my at/2's were P rated tires. I was a little worried about going to a Lt rated tire but the truck handles better, feels more responsive and handels the road better ...love them, these bfg all terrains really make this truck !!! LT tires should be on these trucks stock...

The BFG all terrain KO is a very well made, efficient tire. Expect to get at least 40,000 miles out of these (with proper rotations). Got them on a 2003 Toy Tacoma and have 21,000 miles on them so far. The Montana roads/trails have a large gammet of conditions that haven't slowed this BFG down in. except thick mud. They have shown little wear and continue to hold there own. The only condition that these tires perform poorly in is thick chunky mud. It clogs up this tire in a hurry and has trouble shedding it, but thats usually the case with all terrain tires. A little throttle from time to time helps. On the road there is 0 noise and they do great on wet/dry pavement -doesn't matter. I got mine for about $685 mounted balanced, the whole ball of wax. Also have them on 78' Ford f-150 that loves the logging roads and they still keep on rockin the shit.

This is a fine choice in a tire if your primary focus is on road driving. Have them on an 03 Tacoma baby and i'm 21,000 miles in on them. There probably at about 85% tread left thus far. In Montana, I have put them through every kind of condition and they are still looking badass. Downright grippy on gravel roads. They zing rocks all over the place, so make sure your mudflaps are on tight! Snow, they are very dependable and get a great bite on packed or fresh. Keep some sandbags in the pack though, so you don't fishtail as much. Mud, as long as its soupy mud they go right through it. Its the thick sticky mud that gets them gummed up. But thats really the only issue I have with these tires. Have had one flat with them, 4" nail gaved me a flat in my driveway. No big deal, could happen to any tire. I rotate them every 5000 miles and they keep on keepin on. A great all around tire though, on and off the road.

Tire is good on road, not too much noise, good wear.
In mud they are ok for hole-to-hole use, but not for long muddy roads where they dont have a chance to clean. They clean horribly. Loose dirt they are crappy and dont go anywhere. Im on 35s and my buddies with stock tires climb hills better than me. In loose sand and loose dirt they are HORRIBLE you slide everywhere and the tires pack right up, my buddies drive through the dirt in 2wd and i gota go in 4 with a running start. Ive been wheeling for 7 years. you want an off road tire get something the doesnt say BF GOODRICH
