BFG KO2 tires do you like them

[Savage20]

Those things are beasts if you off-road a lot.

actually if you off road a lot they are underwhelming. you need a true MT for serious off road work

Depends on what you like doing. BFG ATs never let me down during my 4x4 shenanigans.

MTs are pretty much a waste in Texas unless you play in the mud a lot (hence why they are mud terrains and not all terrains!).

I've been running MTs on my Wrangler since 2008, and when this current set finally wears out I will be replacing them with BFG KO2s! Those tires are far better suited for most Texas terrain...

 

[Savage20]

Y'all don't wheel hard enough then if you get by on ATs.

MTs aren't better than ATs just in the mud. They're far superior on the rocks and pretty much everywhere except the sand.

What if you're in mostly sand and dirt roads? Are MTs still smart?

Lmao

ATs are often the best compromise especially for a street vehicle, but that doesn't mean MTs aren't still better in hardcore off roading.

If you're only on dirt roads and sometimes sand, a street oriented AT works just fine, like a BFG Rugged Trail or Michelin LTX A/T2

Should I buy KO2 tires? Is it smart?

I have MTs on my truck. Are they going to blow out driving them on asphalt and concrete? Very concerned. Someone please help!

On my last truck, a F150 I went through two sets of KO's and wasn't impressed. Within 40k miles has balancing issues and tread separation. When I bought my F250 three years ago I put on a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs size 325/60/20. I currently have 45k on them and they still have another 15-20k worth of tread left and no issues so far. Think I'll stick with these when replacement time comes around.

The only thing they'll blow out is your wallet when it comes time to replace them.

I got the set of 5 AT ko2's 270/75/r18 for 1100 out the door mounted and balanced. Looking at alot of other tires I think I did ok.

Yep if you got 5 mounted and balanced I agree. Score.

 

[Shady]

Discount tire matched 4wd.com's price. The discount is a bit less but still 1070 for 5 and then you have to pay discount for the mounting.

 

[CZPistol]

5 for that price is indeed a smokin' deal. I have about 5,000 miles on the KO2's on my F250. Really liking them, but then again, I have run KO's, KM's, and KM2's on various trucks and have always liked them.

Only problem I ever had was when one of the KM2's chunked a huge section of tread at 70mph...lost control and the truck careened into the concrete divider and was pretty much totalled. BFG bought me one new tire. LOL!

 

[TreyG-20]

Bumping a necro thread. How are you guys liking these KO2's now after a year? My dodge is going to need a new set of LT265/75R16 soon and this tire is at the top of the list from my research.

I ran them under 1500s and SUVs, but won't run them on my 2500. They're over priced and too soft anyway. In mild offroad they're ok. But get in mud and they turn into slick donuts. They were bad in snow & ice as well. Weren't all that great on wet roads.

Long story short, I think there are better all around performing AT truck tires for less money.

I like cheaper. Other tires I am looking at are the Nitto G2 Terra, Goodyear Authority Wranglers, and a Cooper ATS I think. They are going on a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Club Cab 4x4. It's a 5,200 pound truck unloaded. It has beefed up Springs with a SFA and pulls loads on occasion, but mostly unloaded. 90 percent on the street 10 at the ranch on rock and dirt and cactus. I have Passenger rated tires and want to ditch them for a good 10 ply for just better everything.
