All-Terrain T/A KO2 TIRE REVIEW

These tires are awesome.

This is my 3rd set of K02"s I have purchased for my lifted 2015 Ford F-150. The same tire that came on it when I bought it new from the dealership. I like the aggressive look with great traction. I have averaged over 60,000 miles on each set. I've never had any issues with these tires and the sidewalls have a great look. Whether on the roads of Florida or out in the rough terrain of Georgia, these tire are great. The noise of the tires on the road is so much quieter than many other options out there. I highly recommend this tires.

Terrible quality/longevity

Purchased these in 2018 brand new. Used them exclusively for winter use for roughly 4-5 months of the year until 2022 and they sat in storage since. They were beginning to wear and cup and also were developing cracks in between tread. During the pandemic it was rather difficult to obtain replacements so I ended up buying new tires and put the K02s in my shed. Fast forward and decided to use them this winter and the cracks in between tread are even worse now than when they went into storage. My own fault not making a warranty claim earlier as I thought I’d be able to live with them and thought they probably wouldn’t get worse sitting in storage but now it’s 1 year outside the warranty claim and they wont do anything about it. Understandable, however a company as large as BFG should stand by their products and offer some sort of compensation to this matter considering others have had similar issues in the past by skimming previous reviews. It’s a clear manufacturing defect. Dont waste your time with these or the company itself. The tires perform quite poorly compared to the new duratracs I purchased, hence why I bought new ones. Had the duratracs on since 2022 and they wear great, no cracking and no cupping so it clearly isn’t my vehicle. Do yourself a favour, buy something that is much better quality from a company that will go above and beyond for their customers and stand behind their product. This company and these tires simply aren’t it.

GREAT TIRES - DEPENDABLE - NO DOWN TIME - EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN TIRES.

Have had a vibration on one of the tires that has been there from install. Have had the tires rebalanced and nothing has changed but when rotating the tires the vibration follows. Could not get the tire store to warranty.

Legendary Tire

The last two vehicles I owned, I only ran K02s. They are the perfect balance of off-road and on-road performance combined with legendary durability. I just upgraded to the K03, and I'm looking forward to years of service.

Never Buy A Goodrich Or Michelin Tire

Goodrich tires are garbage, & Goodrich will not stand behind the garbage they sell. We bought 40; 235x85R16 Goodrich All Terrain TAs, & 12 235x80R17. Through absolutely no fault of the vehicle they were on (zero mechanical, or alignment problems on any of the 13 pickups they were on, all 52 of them had the same issues), they wore unevenly, & lost their balance so bad, they wouldn't even be balanced with beads. We had to pull most of them, & replace them because they were shaking our vehicles apart, & could not be balanced. I talked to several Goodrich representatives about these tires (all 52 of them). Every single one of them were rude, smug, & shockingly ignorant of tire performance, & maintenance. They refused to stand behind any of them, insisting that all 13 pickups had "mechanical damage", but they had no idea what the "mechanical damage" was, & did not want to look at any of the pickups. Also, they did not want to examine ANY of the 52 tires, that were absolute garbage. None of then run more than 8000 miles before they were pulled, due to the damage they were doing to our vehicles. Every one of these tires wore unevenly, even those on the rear axle. About 14 inches around the tread wore down to about 1/32nd" in a few thousand miles, while the rest of the tread was right at 14/32nds", then, following that wear pattern, for about 10 inches around the tread, it would cup. Not real bad, but noticeable. The remainder of the tread would be normal, @ 14/32nds" (these tires have 15/32nds" tread, new). It's not exactly rocket science to figure out; no type of undefined, & unidentified "mechanical damage", could wear the tread off the tire, in one spot, & cup it, in another spot. This is pure tire failure, period (a combination of rubber compound inconsistency, & cord shift most likely). That is why noone a Goodrich wanted to look at any of the tires, or any of the vehicles they were on. The fact that no Goodrich representative wanted to see ANY of the wear patterns, on ANY of the garbage tires we pulled (not even a photo), tells you all you need to know about Goodrich. They were completely aware of the cause/s of the tire failure, & had no intention of making it right. We had run Goodrich tires exclusively, including our over-the-road trucks before this. Now we don't run Goodrich on anything, & never will. We will never buy another Goodrich, or Mechelin tire (Michelin now owns Goodrich), for any reason. They are garbage, & Goodrich will not warranty the garbage they sell. As a side note: Every Goodrich representative I talked to, claimed a cupped tire can not be balanced (as if the only tread problem was slightly cupped tread). None of them could explain WHY. Really? Why not? I have balanced at least a thousand tires with cupped tread (in fact, cupped tread is a good reason to re-balance a tire). That was/is certainly news to me.

Terrible tire and outright dangerous!

The sidewalls are splitting on my ko2s. They are less than 2 years old with 70% tread left. I just wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. If I hadn't noticed it could have very well been catastrophic.

disappointed with the new bfg's

I have purchased 8 pairs of the bfg's and they have all been great. The new bfg's lasted me a year and a half, 11,000 miles and that's rotating and getting several alignments. I will not be buying anymore bfg's.

Poor performance

Very poor performance on wet, or on lightly snow-covered roads. This was a poor condition from the get-go. They act as if the tires are bald. Disappointing... I was not impressed, and it takes a lot away from these tires. Honestly, I will probably considering a different brand.

cracked side walls, noisy after 3 years, leaking air.

Purchased the KO2's in December 2021, and must replace them in December 2025, because the inner wall on all four tires have splits in them and one is leaking air. And in the past year and half they have become very noisy at 100 KM/H and less noisy when traveling under or over 100 to the point that I needed to use ear plugs.
