BFG KO2 vibration issue

3 incharoonies

 

If I don't go with the BFGs I'm going with the Toyo AT2s. They have a great review.

 

Been seeing more and more criticisms of KO2 lately

 

how are the toyo open country on ice/snow packed/deep snow?

 

I spent a week in a blizzard up in the mountains one year with these tires on. An area that didnt have plows or any road maintenance. I made my way around just fine. That's the extent of my snow experience with that tire. I will say they don't do so well in mud. They get packed quickly and dont self clean easily. They just turn into slicks

 

I just found about 6 missing weights. Problem solved

 

Let's see, my wife and I have had:

Five sets of AT KOs (everything from 29" to 35" on everything from Jeeps to diesel trucks);
Four sets of KM2s (33" to 37");
One set of blue label Krawlers (37");
One set of AT KO2s (33").

I've never had quality issues with them, and wouldn't let one bad tire deter me from running them again. We've beaten the living hell out of some of them, finally retiring the 4-year-old 37" KM2s after losing a sidewall after running trails in the Black Hills. Obviously I'm a fan, but it's for good reason! I'd let BFG replace that tire and keep on keeping on.

These were just to the point that they were becoming difficult to balance:

 

BFG has replaced all 4 tires. Been on the highway about 5 times in past week or so. So far so good!

 

Awesome, I'm glad all is well.

 

Checking in on this thread as I am looking to purchase a set of KO2s soon. OP, has everything been fine since?

 

I was given a second set of ko2s and absolutely no issues. They run great!

 

I picked up a set recently they have been grate in the snow and look good to - no high way issues only about 1500 miles but no hum stable all good. (just sayin)

 

I jumped ship on BFGs went Toyo Open Country At2s and very pleased. Two friends both Toyota owners had same issues. Couple of shops wont sell them to Toyota owners because BFGs and Tacos don't mix.
