BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO

worst tyres i have ever owned – on my new 2020.75 Wildtrak Ford ,we can hardly hear each other talk because the tyres are so noisy! as you slow down they vibrate and growl , would not recomend them to anybody, i am going to buy Yokohama tyres soon and dump the B F Goodrich , they are so bad !! Show details

Awesome – The BF muddies still had plenty of tread on them but being 6 years old were beginning to harden resulting in less traction. With that in mind it was time to brush the cobwebs off my wallet and get the Prado some new shoes. I did love the muddies but with two kids I wasn't getting out as much for pure 4x4 trips plus on road safety took a higher… Read more

precedence, so I went with the AT's. Have to say it was a good choice. So far these have been good off road but more importantly their on-road manners are great. Only had them a few months now but so far they are excellent both off and on road.

Good tyres – Have done 50000 km so far on set on vdj79,mostly highway use and rough gravel road good puncture resistance. Tyres are quite chipped out from driving on gravel roads but holding up similiar to the mickey Thompson p3. Looking to get another 15,000 before thinking about replacing. Will buy again at the right price. Paid 300 each for 265/70/16  Show details

Excellent to start with!! – Just installed 265/65/R18 in my Ford Everest. Good news is that the driving dynamics remain unchanged. It is still as good as HT tyres eventhough I installed All terrain. Durability is to be seen. Not worried about tyres anymore as it did highway and Stockton very well. Installing bullbar, brushbar, winch , lift and snorkle. Driving… Read more

dynamics??? Will be seen next week.

Handling very well with bullbar and all the rest as above. Done Stockton two more times and Lithgow twice. Handles rock, bit of mud, sand all very well. Happy with them. Hope it lasts.

Excellent to Live with:

Since I wrote the original report I have done CREB track to Bloomfield, Jawalbinna to Maytown track and Fraser. These tyres stood the test of these tracks. Having seen what happens to tyres on these tracks, now I am sure I made the right choice. Hope it helps you.

Last of the KO tires spliting around rim – I have had several sets of the BFG all terrains on my vehicles over the years and never had a problem until now. I bought one of the last ko tires 2 years ago and it was on my car for 18 months travelling about 12,000km. When I took the wheel off to change the brake pads I found severe spliting all arounr the edge of the tire near the rim. The rep… Read more

saw the tire and blamed me driving it for an extended period at low pressure. I have always run at 40psi and done nothing more than unsealed road with this tire. All of the older BFG's on the car are fine some doing 70,000km so far, but this 2015 manufactured tire isthe only problem have ever had.Looking at all these comments just shows that they have dropped the ball and i am not the only one getting poor customer service. They say they will send thetire for investigation and i will probably never hear from them again. I wont rather keep the evidence of thefaulty product and explore other avenues...

Will never use again – Tyres showed signs of cracking sidewalls. The rep said due to tyre pressure not as recommended that there is no warranty. Most people who use a four-wheel drive would use varying tyre pressures in different conditions. So the rep saying this was quiet bizarre to me. I replaced the two drive tyres to eliminate the cracking tyres with like brand… Read more

at my own expense.

The last straw was doing 105 on the freeway ( with the "recomended" tyre pressure and the whole tread peeled off the side walls. It looked like a failed retread.

I then proceeded to a tyre shop who sells the BFG amounghst other brands who told me that there have been a lot of issues with this brand of tyre and his rep has been replacing them in warranty.

Burnt by my rep and a sour taste from the brand I will not be trusting BFG on a vehicle my family travel in.

My father's vehicle is also running this brand and has noticed cracking sidewalls.

After running both BFG all terrain and BFG muddies on several vehicles it was very disappointed that the rep would not replace the tyres under warranty as I did treat these tyres any different to the ones I have previously run.

I understand that people have a preference with tyres however I have experienced the Mickey Thompson ATZ on Prado's and hiluxs on harsh rocky roads to muddy conditions and long highway runs and have been very impressed with their performance.

Poor Mileage – I have had 3 sets of BF Goodrich Allterrains and achieved over 100000 k's on two of those sets and was very happy. The third set that I bought about 2 years ago only lasted 50,000 thousand k's and it seems that the rubber compound has been changed. 60 thou is OK for cheaper brands but not for the price that you pay. I won't buy them again and very dissapointed. Such a shame. I tell everybody to buy other  Show details

safe – have a Toyota hilux removed the cheap bridgestones under 20000km now done 30000km with bf Goodrich and still like new . great in wet and dry on all roads . they quiet on the road too . had seen this tyres on patrols for many years and they get over 80000km with them . happy I did not go micky Thompsons  Show details

BFGoodrich T/A KO2 time review – Purchased BFG 28/06/17 first thoughts they are not to noisy stop great in the wet or dry have not had them off road yet so i cant comment yet . Tread depth 12mm at brand new . I will update tread depth km and also my thoughts as time rolls on.  Show details ·  1

Can't go wrong in the bush! – We have a fleet of v8 Cruisers that are used for remote bush work through-out NT, Australia, some of the roughest tracks in the country.. we've used other brands in the past.. with the roads up here and the way our cars are setup, we barely get 15,000km out of them.. I'm not naming and shaming but they were all high-end A/T Tyres. BFG KO2's on… Read more

the other hand, they stand up to the toughest tracks in Australia and even places where there are NO tracks.

We wouldn't even consider another tyre, for work on serious tracks (that are not maintained) in the top end- they're second to none.

4 stars because KO1's were far better, if we could still get them we would.

Be Goodrich K2 All Terrain – Put on my truck sept 2016. Now have to get new tires as tread is almost gone on all 4. Only driving on paved roads, No kids driving this truck. I used to run BFG years ago and they wore like iron. Might as well buy cheap offshore product. Then you can afford to buy a couple of times !  Show details

KO2s Great Tyre – I have been the owner of many 4x4 s over the last 32 years of driving and have used a variety of brands of tyres, recently I have moved back into the old trusty BFG shoes and settled into a set of KO2 all terrains. Since these have been fitted I have continued to have many adventures off road taking on rocky tracks and sand dunes, and also the… Read more

dreaded tarmac, the only issue I have had that I have never had in the past is the sand managed to get between the tyre and the rim along with a match stick sized twig.

The only change I would like to see is rim protectors added on the next model other than that chose your tyres carful and be clear of what you want from your tyres when dealing with the sales team and you should have many great adventures with a set of these

Why did they change a good product – First of all the picture of the K0 displayed here the the old type and these were great tyres. I made the mistake after having 4 sets of the old types K0's thinking the new would be the same tyre NOT true !! the new model are crap and neatly code me my caravan and car. The Differences are: 1/ There are No three ply side walls. 2/ The rim… Read more

protector is gone

3/ The tyre surface is slightly rounder.

4/ You could balance the older ones I cannot get the wobble out of there.

The older tyres were good on the road had great grip in wet or dry these tyres are dangerous and very dangerous in the wet had mine break surface on a slightly wet road into a corner with the caravan on the back doing 10 km less than the advisory speed sign once broke there was no control had come off of the breaks and drive it out.

Do not buy these tyres thinking they are based on the older model these are made to a price without the consumer in mind shame on Goodrich actually DONOT buy these tyres at all.

Not Happy Jan – Have been buying BFG's for 20+ years and always happy with performance on and off road, especially knowing they were 3ply sidewalls and towing a 3ton caravan. But the 2 last two have only done about 15,000klm and they are already showing wear, so much so we are replacing them and they are going as spares.  Show details

KO2 - Balancing issues – 31 x 10.5 x r15 tyre size Only 700kms travelled and back to Bob Jane X 3 times.The boys at Bob Jane NAMBOUR were absolutely terrific but unfortunately they could not get these tyres to balance up correctly. Ended up fitting another set of Yokohamas and all the wobble issues went away. If you would like to contact me "BFG - Queensland " I'd be… Read more

happy to discuss all the details and the hours I/we wasted trying to troubleshoot an issue with your product.

Very poor quality tyre...never again! – Purchased the new KO2 tyres as recommended be our local dealer. Travelled only 5,000 km on sealed roads & well maintained sand & gravel roads. These tyres are chipping, splitting & basically falling apart. BF Goodrich says this is not a fault & is exceptable! Even the tyre dealer said there are problems with my tyres. Once BF Goodrich have your… Read more

money they don't want to know you or about any problems...very poor customer service.

Will never deal with this company again.

Putting cepek fun country back on been all over the Cape with these tyres done 80000klm on them not one puncher shld of stuck to what I know won't be useing bfg again  Show details

Cracking in 2 Bfg ko2 ,tread after only 600km motor way – Very bad ko2 bfg..I bought 4 tyre's. .after two weeks one tyre's wall gave out...sent back to bfd ..waited forever to get answer back..only to be told driver error. ..not even off roading ..as I was waiting 4 first tyre review. .I bought two more...so I was able to keep going. ..after 500km was haveing a service done..in main Toyota. ..was told… Read more

Anyway I contacted bfg..UK. ..again. .I was asked to return them to them...?? I'm still waiting for answers. .why their New ko2 are doing this.. So my adice is buy another brand as bfg.. take your money and leave you for months with out answers or replacement. ..Not that I would take a replacement after all that. 6 ko2 tyres bought and I'm left holding 3 faulty tyre's. ... Bad product. .Bad service as it took forever to get a bfg ..rep to see and then return to factory to see if cracking and fractures were my fault... Never buy bfd again. ..Overpriced Cr**...... No Customer Care.

I'm not sure – When I purchased an FJ Cruiser the vehicle came with BFG A/T KO on it - 265 /70 R17 the previous owner towed and didnt rotate the tyres - so the rear tyres are worn down to the tread markers, but the front tyres arnt too bad. I'm guessing that the tyres have done at least 50K - 70K - the tyres are at end of life but are… Read more

still holding up well. I would have gone with KO2's but find that they are not price competitive against other brands. No complaints about BFG - but with reviews that question the the consistency of the quality of BFG KO 's and their premium price I'm going to chance another brand.

Best tyre that I have ever run – On my 2006 Prado the BFG ATs have done 112 thousand and likely to get at least another 10 out of them. They have had a mix of highway and rough station tracks so not an easy life. Not a single puncture yet (crossing my fingers). A great tyre and I wouldn't use anything else..  Show details

Was a huge supporter of these tyres many over 1x bj40 1x v8 troops and 4 X 80s series landcrusier al – Purchased 6 for 1997 One owner Turbo multi Valve (twin tyre carrier). Had them back to Jax tyres twice with vibration at 105 and beyond as per direction of BFG BFG rep came out took it for a drive never even changed or rotated a tyre poor service. I rotated front to back back got vibration BFG said I have transmition problem. I put the old… Read more

tyres (that were put back on the 2nd 80 off this 80) back on of other 80 surprisingly smooth as mustered.

These new BFG's have huge weights on each wheel double what is on the old BFG's.

Common Michelin start producing a better tyre for the price these a crape.

And old fashion service has gone once you are in the sausage machine (purchased the tyre you don't want to help we are a big furturnity 4x4ers bad publicity gets around).

ho hum but buying again – Put 4 BFGoodrich A/T 265 70 16s on GU Wagon, first week staked tyre between mud lugs, inserted two pang plugs, 5 months prospecting thru bush, Meekatharra, Wiluna,Laverton, Leonora, and 18 months bitumen, rotated tyres,4 times,theyre at 60,000ks,now, could get another 10,000 out of them in the bush, but need replacing, Ill try this time 285 75 16s… Read more ·  1

, Oh by the way the plugged tyre, now has 6 plugs in it, looses 5ib pressure a week , and the thread wear is the same as the others

Sweet Tyre, Awesome price – Best Deal on tyresales.com.au , have usually got great mileage out of BFG AT's... great in the bush. an all rounder worth considering if you can afford them. The deal i got convinced me to reinvest. and the arrangement via tyresales made it easy to find a good price, including a car wash.  Show details

ko tyres – Bfg ko tyres r crap . 35 000 kms and looks like we have just completed the dakar rally . So not impressed . Id highly recommend u shop round cause these tyres r crap . We have gone with the ko2 brand now as we got them for 200 each as well as frèe wheel balance alignment for the next 30000 kms  Show details

Will never use anything else – Fit the bf's ko AT to my 100 series land cruiser and got 90,000km of trouble free motoring . Now have same tyre on my 120 series prado and got 106,000km's of trouble free motoring am just about to replace them with the latest BF ko2 AT - would never even consider another brand of tire. If you've had problems it's probably cause your whole car is… Read more

either out of alignment (accident damage ) or the whole camber and steering alignment is out or wrong tyre pressure being used . What a fantastic reliable tyre

Tired Wore Out In Less Than 20,000 Miles – Goodrich KO 2 put the tires on less than 1 year ago. I do a lot of highway driving. I rotate my tires every 4500 miles when I get a oil change. When to the dealer were on purchased them. They measured the tires depth and was below 5/32. They called Goodrich and the company said they would give me $50. Per tire. They are $325 a tire. If I were you… Read more

I would stay far away from those tired, they are the worst tire I ever purchased!!! Also $50 a tire come on?

Excellent – I started running bfg 18years ago 33inch mud terrains then when I bought the 60series diesel land cruiser I swapped to 33 all terrains. 120k from both sets. I drove this car halfway around Australia on out back tracks and never got one flat. I run 33psi on the tar and 30 on tracks. I upgraded to 100series stock diesel land cruiser in Dec 2008 and… Read more

put 285/75x16 all terrains on it. I was living in a remote nt community and did 5 1800km return trips along all gravel roads to Alice 600km of was the Tanami track each way. Id sit on 140km per hour over corrugatiop 12inch deep. Living out there for over 12 months regularw driving on these roads and never one flat tyre. The first set lasted 3 years 80k km. I'm still running the 2nd set but need replacing soon they've done 110k. Living back on the coast and thinking I might give the km2 ago but ill never run any other brand tyre . Still no flats

Disappointed, bad support from Michelin – I bought 5 of these tires. Not 500kms into it, one tire had crack splits along half the circumference of the tire, which I took back the dealer. Dealer thought it was odd being only the one tire, and said I should leave the tire with them especially since the other 3 were completely and totally fine. 6 weeks later after leaving it at the tire shop… Read more

Michelin came out to inspect and said the tires are perfectly fine and safe to drive, even though some of the blocks were split had come off due to the cracks - not something you'd expect after paying top dollar for premium tire. A very expensive disappointing experience for what is meant to be a tough off road tire, can't even handle my driveway, I proceeded to fit General Grabbers on my other car after this experience, and the Grabber ATs were super impressive and quieter too. Seems I have the same experience as many on here have, bad QC or storage in the sun? I don't know, the tire does not stand up to its reputation and Michelin don't seem to care. Stay away from the KOs, terrible QC complete hit or miss , I won't be buying this anymore. hopefully the KO2 solves the problem but it's left a bad taste. The other 4 tires are great even after 2000kms of use in the same condition but sour experience, expect them to fail soon - go General or Coopers instead.

Very disappointed – I bought three BFG Goodrich tyres and two of them formed a small bubble near the rim. Three separate Tyre places said they should be covered under warranty but the rep said it happens when under inflated with a load. One tyre did about 7000 km on bitumen and the other 15,000 with some on corrugation.I have been travelling years with the same… Read more

weight and never had a problem. I use 4 and 1 spare on the van and 4 and a spare on the car. You would think a little bit of customer relations would help.

Not happy

Never let me down – Paid about $350/tyre in 2012 for 285/65/18 70/30s for 100 series Landcruiser. Have done about 50,000km on them so far - the rear tyres are getting due for replacement soon and the front ones probably have another 15,000 more kms in them. I have never rotated the tyres, been pretty slack with keeping tyre pressures optimal for conditions and driven… Read more

with gay abandon over particularly rough and rocky tracks. Plenty of terribly corrugated gravel roads, sand an mud. Never had a flat, tolerable level of road noise, very happy with on and off road performance. Looking to replace with a set of the same but they don't seem to manufacture in in this size any more. For the new more aggressive ATs I have been quoted well over $600/tyre.

wouldn't buy anything else! – Had the bfg's on my ute for 50,000 km so far and after being on some of the roughest roads and four wheel drive tracks they still look like new. Love them and I highly recommend them. My opinion anyway, I'm sure there are other brands just as good but I'll stick to what I know

They go forever – My 2002 Prado was fitted with A/T when purchased When I sold it with 296,000 ks I was only onto my second set of tyres the first set changed at 206,0000 Granted I did mainly road travel but wow how good were they ?
