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

I gave it a nine with the understanding that this tire is meant mainly for on-road use, but can handle some light off-roading. The little bit of dissapointment in their snow-handling performance is what kept it from a 10. I am just now moving on to a more aggressive mud tire after getting a little bit over 100,000 miles on a set of four (my spare hit the ground for the first time a few days ago--ran over something the put too big a hole in the left-front). I am running 33x12.5x15s on a '02 Wranler with a 3" TeraFlex lift. And yes, these tires had been off road a few times.

not very good in thick dirt

I put these on my 03 Avalanche. Against the stock Firestone wilderness tires, they can go through the same amount of snow in 2x than the old in 4x. They grip very well on pavement and gravel, but lose out when in slick mud. The treads get filled fairly quick. I keep the other truck for mud though. For anyone who spends time in non city conditions, they are a great tire for getting through light mud and heavy snow. I can get through 2 feet no problem.

I have a 98 toyota tacoma limited V6 TRD package. I put a set of these tires on my truck shortly after purchasing it, that was 95,000 miles ago. I still have tread left. These tires are fantastic on the street, as well as in multiple offroad situations. Sure they don't clean like a swamper or bite rock like a krawler, but they can hold there own in many kinds of terrain hence the name. I have tried them in mud, sand, trails, rocks, snow, ice, and was never let down. I also drive very agressively on the street and always feel in control. I highly recomend these tires for a daily driver/ weekend warrior. Best bang for the buck by far.  :d

I just bought these for my 4runner during on the the worst snows in Spokane Wa. I couldn't believe the difference over my old wrangler A/T's. They were quieter and way better in the snow/ice. I really noticed it when I had to go through about a foot of blown snow over the road. I can't wait to see how they off road. The only thing I did notice is my mileage went down a bit. But other than that no complaints so far.

Mud Terrain. Duh, its not a Mud Terrain

I had this on my '04 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel. Had great traction in loose dirt and on snow and ice. Held up great with gravel roads. Cleans very nicely in mud, just doesn't grab enough of it. Great dry offroad tire.

This is the third set I've had on my Dakota. It came with Goodyears that I replaced after 8 months, the first set had 35K on them when I traded them in and they still had tons of tread left. The second set lasted about 12K and had to be warrenty replaced because one of the tires slipped a belt and caused a massive vibration. Had the current set on for 18 mos, been off-roaded several times (Rocy Mtns), been through several heavy snows. Back to back blizzards of 2 ft plus were not a probelm for these tires, didn't even air down.

Pros:
|
nice smooth ride on pavement with little noise
|
|
Cons:
|
sharp laterite rocks
|
|
Very happy with the look and aggresive lugs. Moderate on mud, excellent on asphalt, Very Disappointed on laterite rocks. Basically, in 5000km on dirt, gravel, and laterite rock roads (1000km on asphalt) in West Africa where we live, the rear tires have chunked off and shredded to where they would not be considered "street legal" in the states...the front tires are not much better. On a Toyota Land Cruiser Hardtop, performs well, but the durability factor on pointed rocks dictates that I will be buying another set of tires in the very near future.
