    I got Bfgoodrich All-Terrain Ko2’s 275/70R16. I like the tires a lot but I drive mostly city and they are wearing down too quickly. I do run 40 psi in all 4 tires but I’ve been hearing good things about Toyo off road tires so idk if I’m going to switch to Toyo for my next set. What tires do you run?

    BFG KBro's are terrible tires. You're also running too much air in them. Dropping down to about 32 - 34 psi would help the ride and help them not wear as fast.

    i'm going on to my last winter with them. they have about 7/32 tread left. should be ok. have had them for 4 winters now and about 60,000km/37000mile. unfortunately the tire shop i got them at doesn't carry them anymore so I'm leaning toward the Goodyear Duratracs.

    BFG KO2, 275-70r18, I’m also finding the tread wearing down quickly too. Might upgrade to 305-65r18 next summer.

    I use KO2's and have 30k on them now and still plenty of meat. The factory BFG's made it to 65k
    No issues with these, however will look at a different tyre next time...

    KO2 here as well, and I absolutely love them. Not sure why yours are wearing so fast... I run 38psi all around and the ride is fine, and they still look new after 10K mi. My other car is a Z06 so I tend to drive the Taco a bit hard too... hard corners and 80mph on fwy. I'm impressed at how they are holding up.

    Too few to list.
    I just got these tires on my 3rd Gen and they are super quiet compared to my Duratracs! Hope mine last as long as yours.

    I do mostly city and highway driving with light off running will just how I was able to get them to last so long. I also only run 40 psi so if you fill them to the max you might get more life

    BFG KO2 235/85R16. I was running them at around 32 psi but have lately gone up 40 psi. I usually get around 40K from a set of BFG ATs, but I'm not easy on them. Rotate & balance every other oil change.

    I have had BFG's KO's on other vehicles and have never had issues on or off road.
    I go thru some sharp rocks out in the desert and mountains and these tires I can trust. I have had flat's with other tires so I am sticking with BFG's.
