    Just got the new BFG KO2s after deciding I've had it with my previous Cooper Discoverer ATPs which were cupped and causing serious vibrations (my fault, didn't rotate as often as I should). But I do love these new tires! They feel great on the road and no more vibration. Just hoping they will last me 40-50k. I will definitely be rotating these new tires every 3k.
    Lesson learned: don't wait 10,000 miles between tire rotations on an all terrain tire.

    I have the KO on my Taco with C load rating and they feel quite mushy on turns which I don't care for. Other than that, they have been quite smooth on my ride.

    Skrain Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

    They are a big improvement over the Coopers, even before the cupping. Very happy with the new shoes.

    Was about to get the Yokohama geolander A/Ts but decided for about $100 more I could get these and be happier

    You will love the K02s. I ran the originals on an Xterra and was a fan. The K02s on my 15 Taco are even better.

    Think they'll last me 50k? I noticed the tread on these tires are considerably softer than any other tires I've had.

    Keep them rotated, balanced and your alignment on and you should get good mileage. Off-roading does wear them faster. Tire spin and fast corners too.

    Buddy of mine got a little better than 60k out of his on an f150, but he stretched them out a little further than I would have.
