BF Goodrich all terrain tires Questions

I have been impressed with my KO2s. Not sure where you are located, but double check exactly what you're ordering. There are two rubber compounds as far as I know, one has the 3PMSF rating which is great for northern climates, the other carries a high mileage warranty.

Down sides:
they are heavy tires (can be a good thing in terms of offroad reliability) so expect some small MPG losses.
no two ways about it, more aggressive tires need to be rotated often and maintained properly. I do mine ever 5k with an oil change.

 

yea, dont expect he northen compound to hold up too too well, especially if you have a close relationship with your hand break since the new tacos understeer like a mofo

 

Just ordered some 35s.. will check back in a week

 

They are an OK tire, not great not awful. I had them on my Tacoma and Jeep and got about 50K miles before they were replaced. Couple of things they are not good in snow and ice. They weigh 20 pounds per tire more than the Michelin LTX's that replaced them.

I would consider them again if I was doing more off roading, but for me the LTX's are a better tire for my uses.

 

I just replaced 235/85R16 KO2 3PMSF load range E with 265/75R16 Falken Wildpeak A/T3W, also load range E and 3 peak snow flakes.

KO2 are fine tires. Only real complaint is mine wore quicker than I'd have liked, 6/32" at 35k miles. One thing is that they are tough tires on the trail. I have always felt they are a decent balance of useful on most terrain but not really great on any one. So far the Falkens are pretty good on snow but my memory was that brand new the KO2 were fine, too. They weren't great on snow at the end though, so it'll be interesting to see if the Falkens are still as good at 40k.

I'd run them again, it's just that I've run BFG AT or MT on my truck for darn near 20 years and wanted to try something different. I think the main thing about BFG is their prices are a real premium, you pay a lot for their name now.

 

Look OP, you are going to get the people that like them and the people that don't and both are going to tell you so. The BFG and the Coopers are both good tires. What are you going to be doing with them? Is this your daily drive or are you hitting the trails every weekend?

When it comes down to it though, I think @SR-71A has it right. Whatever tire you get, they need to be maintained and rotated properly. GL

 

I have had 2 sets, the current one has 50k miles on them. The KO2s are a great all round AT tire, good sidewall and weight depending on size.
I’d buy them again.
I do like the ST Maxx if you need a heavy duty tire.

 

While I've been pleased with my C load KO2's in a different size, and KO2's in C load don't appear to be available in your particular size, I would suggest a C load tire over the E load tire that you linked due to likely difference in ride stiffness.

 

The C loads are a lot lighter as well. But they aren't available in all the sizes. I've run them for a long time and I've never had a sidewall tear.

 

So I got my c load on today. Silent on the road. Very slight bumpiness at low speed. Coming from michelin touring tires pretty much and barely a difference atleast in ride quality.
