BFGoodrich KO2 35000Km vs KO Review

We compare the BFG KO2 with it's predecessor the KO All Terrain 36000Km vs 35000Km on the KO2.

[@Fozzi1-1836]

6 yrs on my Ko2 and passing 60,000 on my old friends. Today I’m swapping out tires. It’s time, too much desert / volcanic rock running these days. Just hours away from my new K02 and one week away from my first road trip of the year. Love these tires !

[@herokillerstain4147]

I've got a 99 4x4 Durango on 31 BFG ko2s, have loved em since day 1. Taken em out on cleghorn trail in CA, use them in Deep snow in wrightwood. Took my pops out for a drive. 1 day later he purchased ko2 for his Colorado. Great tires.

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

awesome. Good to see the entire family enjoys wheeling in the outdoors.

[@brettlawtie6264]

Used BFG for 30 years, firstly KO then KO2 and found them excellent tyres, but found KO2 did not wear as well on gravel roads (drove up and down Tanami Track in Australia). Now using Toyo Open Country RT 305 70 16 on my Landcruiser 105 turbo diesel and very impressed so far. Will be putting them on my 200 series Landcruiser as well.

[@smoke05s]

I concur. I got 100K miles out of my KO's on my Nissan Armada. The KO2 seems to be wearing much faster. I like the look of the K02 better but I think I will be lucky to get 60K out of them. It will be from wear, not damage. These things have awesome armor. I ran over a 3/8 lag bolt when I first got my K02's. I unscrewed it right away, no air leak.

[@Justin95386]

I live in northern Ontario, Canada. Use to drive a 3/4 ton work truck with KO2s going through snow storms and freezing rain. even towing trailers that were quite heavy at times, wear was minimal, Completely blown away by these tires.

[@trevorfroese4534]

39,900kms/27940miles on mine they have done well. 6000 kms offroad and the rest city and highway. This is the first tire that hasn't crapped out on me. They have lasted longer than the stock suspension on my Tacoma. Will buy again without question.

[@fhclappen8595]

I can only say it's the best tires I ever had Original HT's lasted 80 000 km.Repaced with Dyna Pro, although not bad at all, but for road noise, and 60 000 km life span.BF KO2, now 142 000 km and the unsighntific match stick measure, 3 matches on top of each other says a lot about durability.No flats ever, no chips no cracks. About 80% on, 20% off road. Being in Thailand with extreme hi tempretures, heavy rains, waste deep flooding of roads and river crossings,its amazing. Negatives, as they get older, there is some harmonics at play.This only occurs at certain speeds, tempretures and road serfaces. Remedy, swap the left over to the right, so it will run in the opposite direction.It helps, but will return eventually Rotate every 15000 km.Another big factor is pressure.Depending on load, i normaly run them @ 30 psi, 26 off road, loaded 34.My 2012 Ranger Wiltrak 3.2, 262 000 km. What more can a man ask for?

[@wlh227]

I use KO2's all year round on my Jeep JK and I love them. They are severe snow service rated and I had no trouble last winter pushing my way through 20 inches of snow for 1/2 mile on a back country unplowed road.

[@kennethkearney116]

I've had both. Love them! Ko2 retain more rocks. The sidewalk tread is great but directional, so they go a different direction from one side to the other. No big deal, tho. You can only see one side at a time! Both are great tires!

[@robedmund9948]

Ran a variety of Goodyear Wranglers on my '03 F150 4X for years. Just rolled to 193K on the truck. Averaged 35-40K miles per set and about 3-4 years worth of wear. Not a ton of off-roading, but I do pull a 21' TT into the mountains about 8-10 times a year. Put on a set of KO2s 3.5 years ago at 155K miles. They have barely worn at all. I'd be looking to replace the Wranglers already. Rotations at Costco every 5-7K and I can't tell you which tires started on the rear. Even wear, if you can call it wear. They still look brand new. BFG knocked it out of the park with these bad boys.

[@stevenn4393]

Have KO on my 4x4 F-250 for 5 years now, mostly for winter driving. I rarely had to put it in 4wd. They did good for snow traction. Put about 30k miles on them. But now they are starting to dry rot. Just got the KO2 and can’t wait to put them on since they are more suited for snow.

[@Offline877]

Been running BFG KO2’s since 2015 - never looked back , and I still have that 2015 model spare tire never had to use it. Recently bought a 2003 Tahoe, 1st thing I did was slap ko2’s all the way around- even the spare tire knowing I may never use it

[@J.R.in_WV]

What I don’t like about the KO2 is it doesn’t have the “Rim Guard” bead area like the originals did. That extra rubber at the bead surface of the rim was great for keeping your wheels from getting Rock/curb rash, and it made the tires easier to mount.

[@CaptainFALKEN]

I had my truck and my k02s for over 2 years. I have never had a nail stuck in any tire and they are TOUGH. Best tires I ever bought. Although they're not so good in the rain, not that I care, I'll just keep buying these. They're good for about everything and last a long time. For me, they're about toast because I do alot of slides and burnouts. BFGoodrich makes a major quality tire. For classic cars, most go with the radial T/A which is a great tire, but a set of tires which I had on a 79 camaro actually have better hook up and better traction in the rain for a smaller price were the Cooper Cobras radial gt. I would never get cooper discoverers since they have innerliner cracks. But the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro is an epic quality mud tire for sure.

[@marnielarocque9412]

i have been running BFG all terrains since 1981 and tell everyone that they are the best, i am disabled now so i have a new set of k2s on the back { well new lastyear}, and am due for 2 on the front, just can`t afford yet being a single dad on disability. I was a Logger in British Columbia Canada and drove on gravel and snow, crazy conditions and find the BFGs the best winter tire. I drive a 2005 f350 and love my BFGs

[@ding174]

Thanks so much. I’m glad I put brand new set in my fj last year and nothing compares.

[@chabka34]

Vary forward about being sponsord finally someone with some honor

[@thylordsatan666]

i had ko for my trucks all of em, Never have i had a blown tire, these were the greatest tires ever CREATED, Ko2 oh yeah going on my new truck

[@carlutah5651]

Me either not even nails or screws

[@user-hp7vp9mu1q]

I've used tires. BFGoodrich ko2 for more than 3 years and 150,000 kilometers. really wonderful tires.

[@bjornchristiansson2827]

I'm run the Ko for years. I'm now on KO2 and they really beet to old ones. No flat tire or anything like that. I'm use my truck for construction work and carry a farmer tank on my truck every day. I will not leve the KO2 for any another brand that's 100% sure. I drive in hot weather cool'd weather snow who is cool'd or slush wet snow! No problem just run bit lower air pressure in the winter because rubber become stiffer to fact of lover temperature outside. Happy owner to KO2. Bjorn from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@stefansaak2921]

I put these tires on my 1990 VW T3 Vanagon Syncro more then 4 years ago and just realized that I drove them over 100.000 km/ 62.137miles That´s 25.000km/15500 miles per year, but 90% Onroad use to be honest... :-) The back tire is indeed more worn out, due to driving in "two wheel drive mode" for most of the time. The tires still have a tread depth of 7,5mm at the front and 5mm at the back. I had one small puncture caused by a screw, but fixed it 1,5 years ago and it still holds air perfectly. The only "issue" I have is when it comes to rainy wet concrete roads. Because of the brake setup of my Vanagon (Disk brake at the front, drum brake at the back, no ABS or whatever plus rear wheel drive) you really have to be aware of hard breaking can cause in immediately blocking front axle and resulting in a terrifying slide, which I experienced a couple of times. Also going round a crossing with a bit of too much pushing the gas pedal lets your transform your Syncro to a sideways drifting Ken Block showcar. But I guess this is a sacrifice you have to live with, when you drive AT´s on a road car... :D The only other tire I ever rode on my Syncro was a Bridgestone Dueler 694 which I drove for nearly the same amount of distance. The issue I had with these were uneven worn out tread blocks and one of the blocks got lost somewhere on the road. Soon I´ll buy new tires, but that's a hard decision for me to make, cause honestly I want to keep my BFGoodrich tires...

[@johndiaz7240]

Thank you , we installed KO2's on our FJ40 and love them . We don't need mud terrain any more ,I'm old .

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

I hope you hav many happy miles on the truck

[@GF_Burke]

Same experience. Here in the Owyhee desert as well as my daily driver, 79 F150, Just removed the KOs after 3yrs and put on KO2s. See how they go. The best KO from the past, is the spare.

[@01hondascott]

i am running a set of BFG KO2"s 245/65/17's on my 2010 ford escape and they work beautifully, ive had them on since june and i love them. i have 2 ATV's and the area we go to unload them kept poking holes in my grand touring tires, so i switched to the BFG's and haven't had a problem since. i was a bit worried because i haven't got my winter tires on yet and we had a big snow storm last week with 25cm, and the bfg's worked better than i ever thought. i may not even need my winters.

[@cjkirk30s]

I put a set on my f150 fx4 as soon as my pirelli scorpions wore out which was 24k miles. I'm over 100k miles on my truck and just now needing to get new ones. Will never buy any other tire as long as I can get the size I need. Best tire ever!

[@machinehead6892]

I have to agree...i have had 5 different trucks that all ran the ko tire, my work truck is running the k02 and they simply have been amazing...3 years 50,000km and don't show any wear yet, my big Dodge with the 37x12.50x17 are at 50,000 and are almost done, the K02 is an excellent tire.

[@JsGarage]

This is an awesome tire for those that drive their offroader daily. I have these in 37x12.5R17 on my Jeep and they take a beating very nicely. They seem to do me well in the rocks and durability is high. Mud isn't their strong point but they can do quite a bit of it. I know people that have a lot of miles on these tires. One guy had them on a JKU and he offroads it too got 56K miles on them before had to move on.

[@peglegjim3124]

I’ve traveled the same path you have with BFG, & you speak the absolute truth.

[@mikebrant97]

I love BF Goodrich ko2s I buy them when I can afford them. I had a set of ko 31 1050 15s in my 82 Ford bronco I got close to 60000 miles out of them now I keep them on my Toyota

[@michaelbrown8545]

I recently put these on my Defender HCPU 130. I got 75000 klm out of the factory Continental's. The KO2'S are quieter, grab and collect less gravel and slightly better cornering grip (the 130 will push the front end straight on a wet corner) so far so good in Queensland Australia.

[@richardmaxwell3828]

2 of my trucks have ko and they perform great in close to stock (235/85r16) as well as over sized (315/70r17) I will be getting ko2 when it's time for new tires

[@michaelcheslock7866]

Awesome video, great info I went with the Kuhmo next set will be the ko2

[@witwolfdebruin]

Good video bud, I have desided to install new KO2's on my F150 also dont forget about the Hot weather here in the desert.Fantastic tire by far the best

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

Nice 👍

[@occyman]

I went for Mickey Thompson ATZP3 and I was not a Mickey T fan it was about availability. Happy to report after 35,000kms they are like new, grip like all hell in dry and good in wet, a bit more noise than BFG but I am converted....and I will be buying another set on my new LC200 when I get it.

[@Joe-rx7ht]

Thanks for the review. I’m about to buy these tires for my Land Rover Discovery 2, here in California (1st time BFGoodrich). Most of my off-road driving experience has been in the Middle East.

[@romansroad2007]

Joe Jacques it’s been about a year now how are they doing ok? The tires ? I live in San Diego California also bro

[@103m95g]

My old KO's 305/65/18 33.6" tall, were 9years old when I replaced them with KO2's275/70/18. 33.2" the KO's had a few chunks out of the tread. Been Very Happy with BFG's

[@mwelsh2]

I just bought a set today. I'm excited!

[@mwelsh2]

@Corey Lambrecht Sold the truck. Don't have them anymore.

[@carlutah5651]

I have 31 Kos from 2007 still on my d22. Darn things still have lots tread. Side walls cracked bad going all around tread area. 13 year old tires never had a flat in 30 years with ko tire. Repeat customer. I have tried pirelli scorpions,atms,dunlop,toyo,yoko always go back too Bfg ko.

[@ricfly52]

I have new Ko2 on my new Ram that I use for towing. The tire stands tall under load. And for off road which I have done little cus my truck has less than 5000 miles so I still am in love. But I put the KO2 on and they are great tires. Plus when you come off road, they flick rocks at tailgaiters.

[@bgflyfish]

I had them on my ram 1500. Good all around tire and decent in Canadian winters just didn't last long for me. I got about 30 000 km out of mine.

[@mohammadbinbishr5167]

I'm using BFG KO2 305/55R20 on my 1996 gmc yukon coupe

[@djb2366]

Run these on a Cx3 that’d I’ve turned into a bit of a rally car. Can say these tires rock do lots of gravel driving and they wear great. Crazy thing is then in the mountains when doing spirited driving they handle unbelievable for an all terrain. Wet weather driving is good however not great when really pushing them in turns they tend to throw the car into a state of understeer. Over time got use to the wet weather performance as it breaks traction very progressively. Making it easy to control and lots of fun sliding the car around. For anyone who is running these on larger 3/4 to 1 ton trucks you can expect to see lower tread wear and overall less durability, especially if caring heavy loads. As these tires weren’t designed to run heavy weight, not to say it can’t. However, it’s main focus and most of the tires technology was derived from baja racing. Meaning light, stripped down trucks running through sand. My two cents is these will run best on a mid sized truck or SUV up to a half ton truck. The reason for my overall positive results is due to the fact that the vehicle I’m running them on is very light in comparison to most truck and an awd system vs a ordinary 4x4 system for increased traction on wet pavement helps as well.

[@blacktailbowhunter0135]

Love to old KO. Wish they would have never changed them.

[@blacktailbowhunter0135]

@Corey Lambrecht Sidewall traction in ruts vs the new ko2 was much much better for where i was using them mostly in muddy rutted roads. they seemed more aggressive and tended to really dig and pull through vs spin and slide all over

[@waxhead63]

Good video .. it gives relevance to the terrain here in Australia ..

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

thanx for that. It's tough to include all countries and terrain, glad you liked it

[@samuelowen]

I like the change in the side lugs but I don’t like the elimination of the wheel protection. The old KO’s stuck out past the wheel at the bead preventing some wheel scuffs.

[@bandit911]

yep also my only fault with these tires

[@J.R.in_WV]

Yes, the “rim guard” feature with that big square edge of extra thick rubber at the bead was awesome. Made mounting the tires a breeze, helped retain the bead’s seat when aired down and of course protected the rim from damage.

[@NRCCtech]

Good tires! My Silverado got 50k miles out of them before putting another set on this week

[@MCR241]

Only 50,000? I wouldn’t expect any less than 75,000 from them. I’m currently pushing 90,000 on my set of KO1.

[@TimHPop776]

I am a big fan of K02’s! My son’s Jeep Cherokee has put 90k + on 2 sets of them!

[@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285]

Hi. What size? I'm getting 245/75/16 tomarrow on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Hope they are not to big?? I know this is probably the max? What do you think??

[@martinucarrasco9984]

Ko2 on my Tacoma 3 years great tires love them

[@jacoe33333]

Ko2 is a good tire. Another tire that you can try is the new Toyo Open country AT2 extreme if it’s available to you. Land cruisers defenetely needs the strongest tire.

[@davidfavret2248]

Great content I'm surprised this video doesn't have 100000 views

[@2muchtalk173]

That’s because these results aren’t typical. I’ve run both for years. Not in the Middle East, i live in mid-Michigan. I will never buy KO2’s again. They were quieter when new but not much different after 10-15,000 miles. My KO1’s had roughly 75,000 miles on them my KO2’s need replacing after 40,000 miles. The traction at 50% tread was awful, almost unusable without adding 700lbs of weight to the back of my truck. Lastly, the KO2 tread wear was uneven compared to the KO’s.

[@wyocoyotewyocoyote9007]

very nice review. I have KOs on one of my rigs and KO2s on another. They are so different (a big ole diesel dually dodge on 235 85 16 KOs and a lifted fzj80 Landcruiser w 285 75 80 KO2s so certainly not apples to apples. Both have been great and both have spent some tough off road time. The KO2s are also marketed as excellent snow tires (but not true winter tires) This would be hard to test in Dubai I imagine. The KOs were notoriously bad on snow and ice. My KO2s have done well in snow and ice....much more sipeing than the KOs and somewhat softer compounds i suppose. Y'all should drive up to the arctic circle for next comparison.

[@user-mp8mu5fe4f]

Thanks for sharing your experiences

[@Iceaxehikes]

33x10.5x15 KO2's on 15x8 rims. 1986 M1009. Excellent tires.

[@nahhgee922]

Great Video Shaun, really enjoyed it ! Keep up the great work. Omar 👍

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

Trafalgar C thank you, taking out the KM3’s for a serious rocky abusive drive now... let’s see how that review works out

[@glengustafson6959]

I put BFG KOs on my 80 Series back in '97. After only 21 years they started to dry out and crack. It sure was hard replacing 5 tires that still had excellent tread and never gave any trouble. Of course I put KO2s on it. Should be good for a while... Amazing feeling driving on round tires again! Great tires.

[@missingremote4388]

You got me beat because, my tire ( Bridgestone REVO 1) are from 2007, quarter inch tread remaining. lt 285/75 R16 + thinking twice about buying new [ Firestone M/T2 265/75] maybe make one more road trip + 2000 miles round-trip.

[@AaronBilger]

I have the KO2 and my dad has the KO very nice tires used 99% of the time on road

[@jorgetomas380]

Maaaaaaaaan, I loved BFG's since the 1st time I saw them on the movie Jurasic Park, with the Jeep Wranglers.🤣

[@zman92630]

I love my KO2's on my T4R. Very tough offroad, good traction and good road manners as well. Thumbs up!

[@steveo5611]

I have a set of ko 1's 30's on my jeep cherrokee been there since 2014. My buddy put some 35's on his bronco around the same time. He tears his truck up worse than me on the trails and the tires have outlasted the truck many times. Not one flat or bead popping off. Damn good tires. Had to change transfercases, driveshafts, and axels like a mf but never had to maintenance my tires other than air pressure.

[@alexpuls8219]

The ko2's are good. I just wish the lugs were a bit deeper. I would have bought them if they were. I bought a set of 33" Cooper st's. Came with 20/32" when new. The ko2's only come with about 15/32" when new in a comparable size tire.

[@ru2yaz33]

One and only issue that is my main concern is trying to balance the KO2, Discount Tire had to bring in a couple more tires because two where out of phase or too out of balance.

[@CaptainFALKEN]

I used to work there and it's where I got my k02s. Dude, they're all terrains, but they're much more of an off road tire than a regular tire. They're thick and heavy. Balancing them is pretty pointless. An alignment, good suspension parts and whatever air pressure your comfy with on the roads will make your experience better for this tire. The only thing that's concerning about this tire to me is rain driving. They're slippery a little. But it's something most people get used to. It's definitely a super tough tire and capable of ALOT. I'll get another set soon. Mine are goin down due to alot of slides and burnouts, treating my truck like it's a Trans Am. At first I was driving the first couple years on 40 psi. But I prefer a 37 or 38 psi these days.

[@reddawng43x91]

90,000 on my kos from 2014-now, only rotates them 2-3 times , never any problems except muddy surfaces they are worthless in any slick or muddy slippery roads always needed 4wd with them, are the ko2s any if at all better in muddy surfaces than kos

[@jonnyhilljackson5788]

I just want set old kos had chance stock up 14 years ago should stored a few sets.

[@damyoulookinfly]

Great review, thanks!

[@greatdaneacdc]

Just order a set BFG all terrains 10 50 x15 for my BCS 95 T100 4x4 TRUCK. Told you must rotate every 3000 miles ...

[@luisg1653]

Sold! Interestingly the KO2 is cheaper than the original KO here by almost 10%.

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

You won't go wrong withe KO2, we gave them an absolute flogging and they still look brand new

[@luisg1653]

@skankhunt42 if you have a source for BFG AT tires in my size at $12.20 each let me know, even the BFGs for my remote control truck cost more than that. For my truck they run +$220 each tire, and on a set of four getting 10% off is over $80 saved. Offsets the cost of install. Or maybe you're just that bad at math. 😂

[@ciscofreak73]

@skankhunt42 FFS, I hope your not in charge of anything important.

[@johnb9394]

Funny how people blame the tire for everything and never consider that their vehicle or driving conditions might be the cause of their issue. Everyone is going to have different results. I have them on my 99 3500 dodge diesel 4x4 and they last way longer than any other tires I have tried with a similar tread pattern.

[@sbeprecisionproducts6729]

I'm having balancing issues with my KO2s at 15K miles. Road force is high and there is a bit of vibration now even after balancing. That said the are good tires off road. Not very good in the wet weather.

[@fradda1]

Check you bushes in suspension or components

[@dano4572]

Thanx! Now I know I purchased the right tire. Will be used on road till there death( worn out) on a 1998 chevy k1500 stock truck, completely stock!. Perfect shape truck!! We shell see!? Time will tell! just sayin

[@romansroad2007]

dano Ok time is up how are the tires doing today ???

[@greatdaneacdc]

I drove up a logging road 10 miles in wet conditions for 4 weeks everyday in a front wheel drive van and it chewed the tread up real bad spinning out on wet sharp gravel . it stands to reason if you spin out on sharp rocks they wont last..... any tire!

[@shawnbranch9443]

I love k2 all terrain tires best all terrain tires mine are 285/65/18 10plys

[@codygibbs7920]

I have the stock 2019 rubicon KO2's with 29K miles or 46K kilometers and are basically bald now. I want to try another brand but my KO2 have never faulted besides 9 nails and a severe tire weight puncture. Does the ply mean anything for the puncture resistance? BTW, your video and details are impressive but i do a lot of highway and mudding.

[@jamierochlitz3542]

They should have left not stopped making the KO1 I’m not happy about the KO2’s plus now when I need new tires I’m going to have to replace all 5 or at least 4, I love the kO1 they have served me well for the type of driving, the only thing I notice with them is slipping in wet streets when breaking. I hate the traction control on my Jeep and have notice that it goes off less with these tires.

[@missingremote4388]

I'm sure they started making the original BFG KO T/A again 🇺🇸

[@Kevz110]

Hi - I have been running BFG A/Ts + KMs for over 30 years now and recently purchased a full set of KO2s for my 4WD to replace my KOs. I run KM2s for off road, so swap them over when I am going on a trip. This is a really interesting review. I have not come across the chipping issue before... well, not as bad as you show here. I have only run the KO2s for a few weeks now. Mixed feelings at this stage. I must say that I am not as confident in the wet with the new KO2s. I have had a few 'kick-outs' on corners. I thought they may have been a bit better. Early days I guess. What pressures are you running on the highway?

[@Legliftr]

Best $830 I’ve spent on my 4runner! Ko2 all the way

[@j.j.clingman4083]

I absolutely love the BFG AT!!! But will not buy another set because of the price & my experience with them!! When these tires are new they perform just as good as a MT BFG tires does but as soon as my AT got down to half tread at roughly 22,000 miles they did not perform anywhere close to as they did when they where new!! I would literally get stuck in stuff that was half as bad as the serious conditions of terrain I would go threw when they were new!! I guess I I do realize that yes as they wear down they are not going to perform as they would when they were new!! But there was no difference in the capability from new to half tread & then at half tread it was just like shutting of a light switch!! So what do you do with the last half of your tread?? Well with less then 75% of the capability as when they were new I just sold them to someone else!! As that person came back to me saying these tires are worthless they don’t perform like he thought they should!! As for me I had told him that they would be good only for getting by for hyway driving & not of road driving!! He was not to happy but he did say he didn’t have the money for new ones & was wanting a tire to just get by until he could afford new ones!!! It’s kinda like the cooper MT there old MT tread style tires were phenomenal on any style terrain & I could get over 50,000 miles out of them so I ended up buying there new tread style MT & I didn’t even reach 10,000 miles out of them & cost just a little over a 1000.00$ didn’t even get a year out of them!!! Oh boy was I pissed!!! I have recently purchased some thunders MT tires & have them on a 2007 classic body style Duramax & have had two sets of these tires get two years out of them & over 50,000 miles out of them!! I also push a ton of snow during the winter & have never once got stuck with them!! This winter I had just under a quarter of tread on them & was going to purchase a new set for this snow removal season but I didn’t because I really wanted to see if they would do as good as they did when they were new!! Yes they did just as good as when they were new!!! I’m in need of a new set of tires coming up hear soon & really would like BFG to send me a set of there AT or MT to help with all the tire loss that I went threw with buying there tires & being no good after half tread!! I bet I have bought over 6 set of tires for my company of vehicles that for just one set that they would recommend so I can try out again!!! I absolutely love BFG tires & definitely would like to go back but if they won’t last more then half tread I just can’t do it!! BFG if you see this let me no what I can do for you guys??? I absolutely love your tires!! I even sell tires at my shop & hate pushing people away from your tires but I definitely don’t want my customers pissed of at me because I pushed them towards a tire that wouldn’t last over half tread!! Thanks!!

[@mikekay213]

I have the K02 at 45k kms, have had 2 nail punctures in the city between the lugs well it’s nails. However wet performance now is pretty bad almost dangerous which is my only gripe, still quiet..

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

interesting. I have pretty good grip in wet weather compared to the KO. Send me your details on mail, [e-mail] let me try and find a BFG associate close to you too discuss

[@mikekay213]

Expedition Extreme will do, the wet performance is especially from stand still, you take off to join a highway and the car loses control due to lack of grip, should not happen! Checked on the forums, it’s a common issue due to the tire compound being hard.

[@ogijs87]

Same here. When the tread is halfway done, they're getting noisy and dangerous on wet asphalt, hydroplaning..

[@JasonW.]

My KO2s have been bad on wet pavement since I first put them on. If it's raining I'll put the F150 in 4A to get good traction from red lights. On extreme off road in MT, ID, and WY, the tires worked amazingly.

[@mikekay213]

ogijs87 at 50% down too, in the wet I am very careful especially if making a sudden turn. I see the Dunlop have 3 ply plus some good year too, we will see when the tires run out at 80,000 kms hehehe

[@michaelbautista5803]

First time BFG KO2 user

[@Dialysisforever]

All those upgrades make the tire under perform in the snow. I hear this is a big issue with the new tire.

[@archivegarage7638]

Nice comparison, nice video

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

I work in the bush as a logger. If you run these bfg at on a 2500 or 3500 pickup with anykind of weight in the box on graded gravel road they stone drill and get flats easy. Didnt matter if it was the new style or the old type of km2 they both got flats from dtine drilling. The very worst tires we've tried are the goodyear duratracs.... nick named duracrap around here. Brand new dura craps didnt even make it to work. 3 flats in 75km of gravel road. Best luck we've had has been with micky thomson mtz and toyo at and mt.

[@jeepmanxj]

I have mickey mtz's on my 2500. Best wearing and handling mud tire on the planet. I absolutely agree with the BFG's put a set of the 2500 ram and they lasted about 7k miles before they were shredded.

[@SIC-SEMPER-TYRANNIS]

Try super swampers LTBs. They are a bias ply tire and very pliable and sticky. Road noise is bad.

[@krogunlimitedfahrenkrog6110]

Duracraps sucked on my Ram

[@AJBAdventures]

Brilliant! been wondering what tyres to get in my 110 not the ko's are knackered

[@Mr8L8X]

Hi, I’m planning to but a set of BFG tires and new rims also. But I’m going to use them only for winter (4 months a year), I’m wondering.. what is the best way to save and store these tires ? (Will store them with the rims)

[@OverlandGeneration]

I have run bfgs for 20 years.. the ko2 does not wear like original.. been thru 2 sets of ko2s and on both sets 1 tires belts let loose.. My old kos never did this..

[@clayton8465]

I installed a set on the rear of my 2017 sprinter 2500. 20,000 km on them now, all highway. They are chipping up. Way over half worn off. I won’t be installing another set. They don’t last.

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

Clayton wow that’s insane, where are you based. I will get BFG to contact you. 20k on the tyres, there is something wrong. Please email me your contact details and they will be in touch

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

[e-mail]

[@clayton8465]

Email sent

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

Lets see what we can do

[@markbergman2342]

hope that can/will be fixed. I'm on 70.000 km's at the moment (mainly highway) on my Hilux 2015. They look quite well still!

[@F-1fittie]

At 7:13, that deep water crossing, I seen what looked like a newer Ford F150, but they don't make snorkel kits for those. How did that thing handle that water crossing? I'd like a snorkel on my 2014, but I can't find anything anywhere about putting one on unless I jerry rig a f250 one, or use an old jeep one and cut it up.

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

I have seen some for the raptor, so I'm pretty sure you will find some, I will hunt one down for you. As for the footage in the show. The F150 has a 2" lift and therefore the air intake is rather high, so this little water crossing posed no issues.

[@F-1fittie]

Expedition Extreme Ah. I have a 2" lift on mine, and seeing how deep the water looked on your LC, it made me wonder about the Ford's. I have KO2's and they have been fantastic thus far, but haven't had a chance to play off the beaten path compared to my old Dick Cepek's. I used your video as a proof of usage to a friend of mine who was looking at Falken's and BfGoodrich's.

[@brandonevans4142]

I wish bfg would give me a set for a "long term test"

[@missingremote4388]

Small fee $800 USD

[@m2003h]

The Guy's who have ran them on the Rubicon Have note had any Complaints

[@meshalalsaleh9849]

Hi, I have 2018 Nissan Patrol Y61, it has a tire size of 275-65/17 Bridgestone, the BFG dealer has the same tire size KO2, but it is an LT tire and the original tire is not an LT, will it be ok to install the BFG LT tire or not? Please let me know I appreciate your help. Thanks

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

Yeah no problem at all

[@Hamzaheeroo]

Great i have toyota tundra i will get thes tires tomorrow in sh allh .

[@toddhebebrand9633]

The old tires look like there’s some miles left in them?

[@hzk12]

For a daily driver and only offroading on the weekends, would you recommend these tyres. Is the ride comfort liveable?

[@dianacarroll8860]

Hi ya yes these are a great all round tyre , I have them on a defender which is a daily driver as well as weekend camper , I’d rate them very highly , have had general grabber , Goodyear and others ,

[@hzk12]

Diana Carroll cheers for the reply. Planning to put them on a 2018 tundra.

[@dianacarroll8860]

Hi sorry for delay , go for it you won’t be disappointed worked really well on everything I’ve been on and are pretty quiet on the road if I had any negatives it would be cost there are cheaper on the market but I’d replace with bfg again Cannot fault them had this set for couple years and no punctures

[@mackenziepeek9317]

Yes. I run these tires on my f150. Better than the Goodyear wrangler s/t that came on the truck

[@rickyboyz1006]

Come do a review in Northern Canada with me! 10 plies and chains!

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

I would love to, my Patreon page would have to grow significantly for to afford the trip. But when the time is right, we will come knocking

[@rickyboyz1006]

Sounds good! You would love it here.

[@davidnichols7485]

Sweet I run them on my jeep love 10 plies bounces real good lol got chains but yet to try them I'm a trucker so I took a set of triples and made a set up northern Alberta canada here

[@bobbiebigg3]

When I run these on a much heavier truck GM Chevrolet 2500 HD diesel crew cab 8' long box loaded and towing mostly on tarmac they do not last as long and must be rotated on a regular bases this is a load range "E" tire in Canada with everything from +40C to -40C and everything in between, they are very good in deep snow but not great on ice, they are not a designated winter tire even though they are snowflake rated. Overall there is no one tire that can do it all, it does not exist, this tire however is a very good tire and covers most condition very well.

[@ahmedjmj]

Hello thanks alot for this video i want to ask about the weight is it much havier than other tires ?

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

Its very difficult to answer, depends on what tire you compare it?

[@MacHaggiss]

70k on my original KO,s

[@jimmyneutron6127]

They are just the right size for 5/8 minus rocks to trap rocks. Ive had 2 sets. They are the biggest rock flinging pieces of shit. They'll hold a stone till you hit 50 and they fly out like bullets.

[@ramtrucks721]

Shut up and piss off punk

[@cesarconh895]

Duratrack 💯

[@andybub45]

I like the Duratracs but they have weak sidewalls.

[@Icutmetal]

No.

[@Cupidjon]

Expedition Extreme, very comprehensive feedback. However, can you please let us know how these tires performed specifically on the dunes? Majority of offroad trips in the region is a trip to the desert and playing in them dunes. Side slopping, ridge driving, dune crossings, you know...the usual stuff. How good are these for a person who alternates between pavement and dunes? In short, will you recommend these tires to someone who goes wadi driving very very rarely, but does a lot of weekend offroading in the desert. Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

Personally I love the all terrain tyre. I have had them on all my 4x4's. When I did a lot of dune bashing I ran the KO's on the wrangler and more recently on the JK I used during the wahiba sands crossing ran KO2's. Personally I prefer the stronger side wall, it doesn't roll off the bead like other tyres. I must say I'm loving the KM3's in the dunes at the moment

[@Cupidjon]

@@ExpeditionExtreme Thanks a lot Shawn. Sold!!! KO2 it is!!

[@ExpeditionExtreme]

awesome, take some pics #ifitsdustydriveit on instagram

[@michaelmatchee]

thanks for the review. i wont buy another set of ko2. cooper stx max was a far better tire all around. didnt need 4x4 with cooper, but needed 4x4 with ko2 all winter long. wear fast. theses ko2 wore out very quickly on a cummings 2500.

[@myheroisme09]

People are gonna jump on you about those being a mud terrain I bet but when coopers making their mud terrains with the road manners and life they are its hard to argue with them. I have a set on my jeep and beat on it relentlessly on rocks and constant offroad abuse and have never chipped a lug. The most damage I have done to them is from rubbing my shock buckets at full stuff and its just a little buffing on the edge of the inside lugs

[@michaelmatchee]

@@myheroisme09 st max are alltrain tires....

[@myheroisme09]

They are on the aggressive side imo . Same carcass as the sttpro

[@Icutmetal]

@@michaelmatchee Not really; more of a commercial / hybrid tire.

[@michaelmatchee]

@@Icutmetal I don't see any of of terms you said on any ad for those Cooper st max.. They are a great tire. Not classified as mud or commercial tire.
