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 got these in size 31x10.5 stock on my ranger. ive wheeled them and everything. they clog up wicked fast with mud but hey, it's an AT. it works good on the trails too, and in dirt. don't know about sand, not in my area. it's excellent on the street, and I can barely hear it at all. drives like a regular tire. and after 22,000 miles, only a little wear is showing. if you're building up a rig for mostly street use, this is your tire. if you're going to wheel it all the time, check out the mud tires.

Probably the best all-around tire for a 4x4 that is mostly a daily driver and weekend toy. I've had 2 sets of these that have been on 3 different 4x4s. 30s, and 33s. Both were great.
On road they can't be beat by any other light truck tire. They are quiet, ride well, and the wear is amazing. Ended up getting over 30,000 miles on the 33s and sold them with still over 1/3 of the tread left. Only got rid of them for a more aggressive tire for wheeling.
Offroad they work good on green and blue trails. As long as the mud isn't too thick they will pull through it. For an all terrian they handle the mud pretty good. On the rocks they fleax great and wrap around the edges to pull you right up and over.

One of the best tyres I've driven. Use it on Mitsubishi L200 and Nissan Pick-Up. Gets 60,000 miles on the L200 and 40,000 on Nissan. Good on paved roads, wet and dry, not bad on snow and very good on dirt roads.

Great on the highway.
|

Cons:

Not very good at all on creek gravel or rocks.
|

Great street tire, not much of an offroad tire. I have a set on my jeep and my chevy truck. My jeep is more of an off road vehicle and these tires really don't grip or clean out like an off road tire should. But my they're perfect for something you drive daily and that rarely sees the mud.

I have a Toyota Fj Cruiser with BFG A/T Tires.
They are great on road and off-road fast, close to race driving!
New rally Porsche Cayenne Transsyberia are equipped with this too:

Of course if you like to take deeper in mud, you need MUD Terrain tires.

Pros:
|
Best A/T tire. Gd in light to mod. mud, Rain, snow, and street.
|
|
Cons:
|
Not good for steep rock climbing but its not ment for that anyways.
|
|
Tire performs well in mud.People shouldnt be giving bad reviews for mud. For a A/T tire very good in light to moderate mud.Can get through a few feet of mud if you dont stop in the middle of the mud. Got it stuck in deep mud but was able to get out after a few trys. Great on street w/ low noise. Great in snow and rain. Good in sand and dirt.These tires are designed to be ran at low psi when offroading .The people getting stuck in the mud probaly arnt lowering psi and thats why they are getting stuck. Considering they are a A/T and not a M/T they are really good in the mud. I had to pull a buddie out who had M/T and got stuck in the same mud I got through without problem.Tire also wears better than any tire I ever had. Getting a flat w/ these tires is pretty much impossible. I have 32x11.5 R15 on my 2004 TJ w/ 2" lift and have never had any real issues offroad and have gone through all types of terrain. Will purchace overe and over agian. Great tire for the daily driver who hits the trails on the weekends.

not too bad the biggest problem they don't make those tire for 3/4 ton and up that can last. Put loads on them and they don't last too long. Good for every day driving and in muddy or snowy conditions. But for load not too good.

great traction in west texas, had fun even in mud

I just replaced my 75R15/235 KO's that are on my 94 Toyota pickup 4x4. The tires went 72,000 miles and had 5/32" of an inch left.. still tread, but one bought it with a bolt through the edge of the tread. Have pulled numerous people out of the mud, and never had a problem in some pretty serious offroading in west Texas. Great tire.. if this pair lasts 72,000, the old pickup will be at 265k before the next pair!

Little less price.

To begin I've noticed that a lot of you that do these reviews Complain about the Tractions these tires have in mud. Just because your Truck cant spin the tires in mud it's not the tires fault. They may not be the best for mud but by far one of the best a/t for performance all around. I have a set of 33X12.50s on my 99 Tj Wrangler. Yet to be stuck on trails and mud.

good looks,fair traction
|

Cons:

cupping,chunking
|

I have used these tires over the years and have fairly good results with them.The ones i'm using right now are 285/75/16's.They are chunking pretty bad and when its wet on the roads, the traction is kinda scary at times.Offroad performance is pretty good with poor performance in the mud.Will be changing to a new set of mud rovers that I won in a 35'' tire.
