Poor tire choice
Not what I thought they would be. Very noisy and ride rough. Has no traction on wet surface.

Last set of BFG
I have been a fan of BFG tires for decades, all of my cars had BFG TA Radials, and I ran BFG All Terrain and Mud Terrain on all of my 4X4's until now. I have a set of BFG KO2 All Terrains 265/75-16 on a stock Silverado 4x4 and after this experience I think these will be my last set. I started to get a shaking at highway speeds between 40-65 after around 10k mis. I had rotated these tires once already and figured ok it's time for another rotation, Upon pulling them off to rotate I noticed the HUGE patch of stick on weights inside the wheel that totaled 18oz....YES 18oz, 1lb 2oz to balance out. Pulling the other 3 I noticed the same thing, one actually had 20oz on it. Years back I used to mount and balance my own tires with a manual changer and old school bubble balancer and never had to use more than a couple oz to balance a tire and on a few of my trucks I ran 33's unbalanced without problems. I took the truck to a shop to have all 4 tires checked and re balanced and the shop could not believe the amount of weight on a tire that small. The tire with 20 oz on it now has 22 oz on it and all others have an extra 1 to 1 1/2 oz added to dampen the shaking. These tires are junk and should have never been installed with that much weight to balance in the first place. BFG quality has apparently gone to the wayside and so has my loyalty to the brand.

Good looking tire but hard to balance
Nice looking tire and they ride well, however they were hard to get balanced correctly. The tire shop I purchased from had to order two new tires to replace one that wouldn't balance out and one that wouldn't balance and also had radial pull. After a half day of working on them they finally got them to almost no vibration when driving. From 0 to 70 MPH they run smooth but at 75+ I can still feel a slight vibration. I can live with that. From a ride standpoint good. I replaced a set of Michelin highway tread tires so I was worried about the road noise but it isn't awful. The Michelin's were very quiet so I was spoiled. I don't have many miles on them yet so it remains to be seen how they hold up but I've always had good luck with BFG's so I expect them to workout.
Quiet all terrain tires
Great tires. Very quiet for a all terrain tire.
Excellent traction and overall performance
Bought them when they first came out. The stock tires on my Expedition had 15,000 miles on them looked brand new but were absolutely horrible dangerous on the wet roads and pretty much unacceptable on snow. The Trail Terrains were literally a game changer. Excellent on the wet stuff and life changing in the snow. The places 4x4 was nearly impossible on the stock tires these drove through in 2wd with near zero issues. Currently have 32,000 on them and still have excellent wet traction and snow performance. Definitely getting another set. They do have some hum to them on certain types of pavement but they haven’t gotten louder over the 30,000 miles. They stay balanced and smooth making highway performance quite good. Mileage impact over the lousy stock highway tires was maybe 1mpg or slightly less not as much as I had expected and definitely worth it for superior traction.
Great All-Around Truck Tire
I just got these in 265/70-16 for my 2011 Frontier SV 4x4. They are the new equivalent of the old Radial Long Trail T/A tires that were OE on my truck. These are the best tires I’ve ever purchased personally. The dealer I bought the truck from had replaced the original tires with Ironman tires. Weren’t the worst, but not the best either. But when those wore out, I replaced them with the BFG Trail-Terrain T/A’s. The truck is both my work truck and my personal vehicle. It’s serving double duty. I mainly drive on the street/highway but I do occasionally do some light off roading to a camp or fishing site on the weekends. So far, these fit the bill perfectly. I love the look, the traction is outstanding, they are QUIET, and they have a very comfortable ride for a truck tire. They also handle very well in the rain and in turns. I’m very happy with them so far and I look forward to trying them in the snow this winter!
Dangerous wet/snow tire with no traction
5100 miles and the most dangerous tire for non dry conditions I've ever driven on. Had removed and replaced with KO3s. No traction on any wet or snowy weather conditions. Truck fishtailed all the time as this is a VERY dangerous tire.
Great tires.
Have had these tires for about 6 months. Excellent handling in light snow, all we got this year. No issues heading up hills in my neighborhood. Grand Cherokee Summit hemi. Look great.
Best Tires on market
Excellent tires. I work literally on top of mountains. These tires are great! Wanted all terrain but gas to expensive for those tires. Researched it and found these great gas mileage and fantastic grip!
Very disappointed
Looks great ..but doesn't ride while.Iam on my second set in 45 days.They will not balance worth a crap,over 6oz on one wheel.
