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:

Good when new
|
|
Cons:
|
tred tends to be slick; bogs down easily
|
|
Good tires for show and light use off-road. I drive primarily on unmaintained dirt roads and the tred went quick after about 1/2" gone. the tred is easily torn off by rocks when you try to climb a gravelly slope. on alluvial sands and gravel, the tires are not trustworthy. rocks get caught in the tred and do not get shed easily. if you need tires for show, these are nice; but if you needs are a tire to get you home and around try something else. rotated tires every 4,000 miles; only got 12,000 miles out of them. trying something else that can take gravel roads.

I have a set of 35's on my 86 K-5 blazer. Not the best tire out there but definitley not the worst. It does decent on trail and snow but gets clogged up in deep mudd. I would recomend these tires to anyone who spends more time on the road then in the mud the tred where was impresive.

I ran 31x10.5r15 on my built 1994 Toyota 4runner. It was also my daily driver.
I had lockrites in the diffs, and I figured they'd wear the tires down over time on hardtop (I drive hard, with a lead foot), but they were none the worse for it. I took trips from Tennessee to Colorado, Florida, and Alaska and back. They were great on the road, dry or wet.
I drove literally hundreds of miles of rough dirt and gravel roads through the Yukon and Alaska, heavily loaded, at speeds of 20-60mph and never had a flat. They were at about 80% wear after the first 15,000 miles.
These are good looking, tough wearing tires on the road or aired down. They're good for about everything but deep mud or hardcore rockcrawling. They're great on any truck, but keep them off your swamp/rock buggy. I highly recommend these for offroading daily drivers that want good performance in both environments.

This Tyre Looks Great!!!...But Thats It. I Wore Out My Old Michelin LTX AT's And Needed A New Set Of Tread, My Local Tyre Dealer Recomended BFG AT. Had Them For A Week And Was Not At All Happy With My Perchase. Noisey On Road And THey Liked To Aquaplane Alot On Wet Roads, Off Road They Were Not Much Better, Getting Clogged Easyily And Rendering My 4x4 Stuck. However I Went Back To My Tyre Dealer And I Got A New Set Of Michelin LTX AT Put On, And £80 Back. Happy Days.

I purchased a set of these tires in Southern CA, before moving to NE Ohio. I have them on my Chevy Tahoe 4wd. I have to say that these tires are incredible in heavy snow / ice conditions and mild mud conditions. I haven't quite put them to the test of serious mud, but if I wanted to do that I would have purchased mud terrians. I highly recommend these tires to anyone who wants that slightly aggressive look, top performing tires, that rides like a cadillac...this tire is for you. You will not be disappointed.
