Since fitting the Wheels & Tyres early last year we have travelled 10,000 miles through 6 countries and every type of weather on ice, snow, sand, mud and tarmac. This is our review of how the BFGoodrich Ko2 tyres and MSW wheels fitted on our motorhome.

Thanks for your videos, I finally bought my first ever motorhome this week and took it straight down to Elite Tyres in Reading for some badass MSW wheels and Goodrich tyres and, rather nicely, Jay, the motorhome tyre guru, gave me 5% off because I said I had seen your videos. Nice one!

Hi John & Mandy. After watching your video I have just acquired a set for my Peugeot Boxer L2 H2 Van (Work Van) They look AWSOME mate. If it was for not watching your video I may not of bought them, but so glad I did.

Debated about these tyres for a long time and then looked at Maxxis wormdrive 245/75/16 for my rear wheel drive sprinter. They are good with a slightly more aggressive tread as I wild camp mostly and cheaper after all I'm a pensioner. However if I outlive these tyres I will try the Goodrich KO2. Good video with tech advice.

Always good to hear a first hand review, especially on tyres. I had 99% decided to switch to Michelin Agilis Alpin for next winter up here in the Scottish Highlands as I've watched videos and read reviews from quite a few Camerpvan'ers over in the colder Euro Winter climates suggesting they were up there with the best snow handling tyres during their Ski season..... and now you go and throw this spanner in the works haha. I've used BFGs extensively during my 12 years living in South Africa, on 4x4 Toyota bakkies and an off road trailer, covering many 1000's of miles and they never missed a beat either on road or off road, however for sub zero / snow conditions up here in Scotland I was wondering if the Alpins would be a better choice......... decisions decisions ;) At least I have a few months before deciding, and as the current original Agilis on our Hymer Ayers Rock have only covered 5k miles there is no rush. Maybe I will swap to a couple of Heat Lithium first, an easier choice haha. Cheers, John.

Super useful video. A point to note for viewers, the Snowflake on the tyre means they’re usable in Germany in winter. Many 4 season tyres aren’t actually legal in winter in Germany as they don’t have the snowflake symbol so haven’t met some EU standard. I run 15 inch Vredestein which are properly 4 season rates and are great, BUT 16 inch is the way to go for all the benefits John mentioned. John, you just cost me a grand 😉

Just fitted these or something similar (with Goodrich AT wrote on!) to Isuzu Pickup and wish I did it sooner. It tows a lot and the ones it came with were on their way out by 15,000 miles. I noticed more gravelly debris being flicked up and hitting wheel arches than before, but since there's been a lot of snow and rain combined with less traffic there's more stuff there to throw up

hi john. just had these fitted to my burstner harmony line 744 at elite tyres in reading.i have noticed that the motorhome seems to wander from side to side when it reach approx 50 mph.i have spoken the the guys at elite tyres and they have said to reduce the tyre pressure to 60 on the back and 55 on the front do you think this would reduce the side to side movement. the tyres are at 75 psi at the moment on all four tyres.

I have a front wheel drive van-renault master 3 lwb, and wanted to know if i just need decent tyres to drive in the peaks in winter, france and swizerland. (apologies if i have missed this, and that i have only recently bought and converted a camper). this will be good news as i cant afford a 4wd van!

Hello John, really interested in this set up. Having these tyres would give so much more confidence both on the road and on park ups etc where terrain is soft etc. You say in one of the previous comments that you don’t carry a spare but ‘have several ways to repair punctures’!! Can you tell us what these are? Reason for asking is that we have the standard Fiat 16inch alloys on our Rapido with the Michelin camper tyres and carry just spare tyre (to cut down weight) and of course the puncture repair kit that Fiat provide. We had the puncture prevention treatment fitted to our old van (some sort of goo I think!) which I thought expensive (have been quoted £200 from MH/caravan dealer for new van) but haven’t had the chance, due to lockdowns to have this done to the new van, and wonder what your thoughts are on this? Any comments would be appreciated. Cheers

Often stated on forums are that dedicated Camper tyres should be chosen (like Vancocamper from Continental) because they are designed to withstand being stood unused at home or in storage for long periods of time. Now I know that isnt a problem for full timers but do you think it might be an issue to consider with these tyres for the more occasional users out there?

Average daily users very unlikely the tyres to last 10 years which is where most tyres are past their use by date. To enforce this i read recently that 7.5t and over must now have the tyres replaced at 10 years regardless of the tread due to rubber perish increasing the chance of a blowout. In any case its very bad for any vehicle to sit idle. Everything made of rubber on a 2001 or older very low mileage motorhome is trashed. The tyres, suspension bushes, bump stops, steering gators, drive shaft boots and timing belt and aux belts etc. Not to mention probably everything else has rusted from lack of use.

Thanks for the video. Still can't decide. Currently running 15" Mich Agelis Camping which are rubbish on anything worse than dry grass. And we get about 32mpg on the motorway doing average 60mph with a coach built narrower than yours. Was looking at the Goodrich big ass tyre but concerned about the wet performance in tyre tests. They claim not great at stopping in the wet. But the alternative like a Cross Climate isn't made as a camper tyre, only a van tyre and so might not cope well with the extra weight and irregular use. Decisions decisions. ......

I can vouch for the strong side walls of these tyres, sorry "bad ass tyres". I have the same tyres on a Toyota Landcruiser Colorado, the truck weighs 2250 Kgs. I came out one morning and spotted one tyre was a bulging a just bit, I went to work and checked the pressures later on the way home. The one that was a bulging a bit was at 5 psi (I found a nail in the tread) but due to the stiffness of the sidewalls it didn't look properly flat. And it didn't wander or wallow when I drove it. Great tyres they last for ever, I've easily had well over 80,000 miles out of a set, and I don't hang around when driving. They grip like a certain waste substance stuck to a blanket, dry or wet. Good off road in the mud good in the snow, and even with the mid range aggressive tread no noticeable road roar. I've towed all sorts of vehicles out of muddy fields, a Peugeot estate car with caravan attached, Ducato van well loaded with tools Transit camper, all sorts. I towed one muppet who assured me his handbrake was off on his Transit 500 yards across a field with his rear wheels not turning. I didn't bother to stop, I had enough grip to cope! Great fun, great dollops of mud flying all over the place.

Hi great video 👍 How did you decide what size to go for on the tyre as what would fit on the motorhome? For example me putting them tyres on my original motorhome wheels as they are 16inch. Would I have to get like for like size to the original tyre.

I went for 16” as it’s the size the van is designed to have on, I went for that sized tyre to get the extra load rating 👍🏻

BFG's are generally the tire to get. They also have a general following and fan club. Beach buggies, defenders ect have them. It's all about the name and white writing. Almost a fashion. For good reason, a strong tire. Look at old photos going back year's, the vw beach buggies run them.

Fabulous and factually informative video John. Well presented to answer the questions really thoroughly. You have said that you have found your own sweet spot with regards to tyre pressures but would someone fitting these for a first time be contravening the manufacturer recommendations and as such not get the benefits your experiences have determined. Would they potentially wear more if inflated to manufacturers suggestions

I doubt that, you really can’t assume people wouldn’t know what a badly inflated tyre would look like. 👍🏻

We've had front wheel drive motorhomes for about 16yrs and only had to be towed off twice. If the grass or ground is wet or soft i always Reverse as all of your driving forces are on the front wheels if you drive forward all the weight transfer goes to the back and allows the front wheels to slip so if you Reverse the weight transfer stays over your driven wheels.

And I'm still on normal road tyres. But i do like the ones you have so when my tyres run out of date I'll probably go for what you have may look a little strange on a Rapido 986F but if they do the job thats the main thing 😊
Definitely not our year
