BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2

Great tyres – Excellent tyres for all conditions. Daily I drive dirt and very poorly surfaced bitumen roads through rainforest and down steep extreme bends. These tyres perform well on mud, dirt, rock, rough roads, and normal roads wet and dry. I have not done a lot of beach sand driving but from one or two excursions they were fine. Not too noisy and this… Read more

being my second set, I seem to get about 110,000 kms out of them, rotating every 20,000 kms.

Pretty even wearing. As said these are my second set and I can't see why I won't be buying them again. I use the 255/85 16's as I like the extra height but not too wide. I've almost gone to the 285/75's but I'm not convinced that I would be happy and it is an expensive experiment. Army keeps them thin and tall for deep bite in soft terrain. I don't drive hard ( I'm not 19 anymore) but the tyres are constantly driven in extreme varying conditions, floods through to drought. Creek crossing on driveway and road etc. very stable sure footed tyre. Perfect all round 4x4 tyre that actually drives on many surfaces in extreme weather conditions as part of normal living.

The Truth About BF Goodrich – Firstly I do not represent this brand in anyway. Regardless of weather we're talking mud or all terrain these tyres are tough and hardy as any. I run and rotate 5 33" BF muddies and they are tough and trustworthy on all terrain. I live in cape York and use my car for dirt, mud, sand, creeks, dirt and even a bit of overlanding. I've run bfs on my… Read more

hilux, an old 200 series, our old 80 and have never had a fairy fart of a problem. Bogged to the axles? Run them right down to 8-10 psi and with a shovel and half a brain you'll be right. Any bad press about these tyres will only be due to driver error eg (running the wrong pressures etc).

If there is one downside to my BF's (and any Mud Terrain tyres in general) road noise and tread wear can be a nuisance compared to All terrains. And obviously with the added road drag due to more aggressive tread patterns you'll be using a little extra fuel per 100/kms so be prepared for that when tossing up options.

Happy touring and shop around! Stick to the main brands, USA isn't always the way!!!!!!

Indifferent – Inherited a set of 305/70/16 on 105 series had about 10mm tread left .. invoice suggested that they had 32k km on them found them wanting big time at highway speed the cruiser just never felt comfortable, tried balancing and rotations pressures just hard to drive in the bush more than a capable tyre solid side wall to be able to run down… Read more

around 25 psi

had them replaced after 6k (38k)due to tread failure

in a competitive market it has a strong name if you want a muddie to be a muddie you can do a lot worse

would i buy a set ??? no

An awesome mud tyre – These tyres are very quite on the road for a mud tyre and perform great off road. I have used these tyres for a long time and have had no chipping issues. They have good sidewall strength and protection which helps for rocky wheel ruts when 4x4ing in muddy wet conditions.  Show details

Lasting great – Had the tyres fitted over 30,000kms ago and they're still going strong, have them rotated at ever service to keep wear even. Car drives beautifully on all terrain and I do a lot of on road driving. Handle well in mud, as you'd expect!! Will definately be using BFGoodrich again. We got 90,000kms out of these tyres and it definitely wasn't a lot of mud driving. Really happy.  Show details

No More for us – We have had 3 tyres with good tread blow out over the last 2 yrs. we will never buy these again, not only are they a poor quality tyre, they are dangerous. We will not risk our lives again. Show details

Just average and that’s about it – As the title suggests, they are so so if not a little overrated. I generally have got around 100,000 out of my mud tires (rotated every 10,000). Admittedly they’re not to practical for muddy conditions after about 70 - 80,000. I don’t think this set will get past 70,000 at the rate they’re wearing, but are pretty quiet on the road for a muddy.… Read more

Let’s face it if you are worried about road noise don’t buy mud tires period. Had them on the rocks and they’ve come through pretty well. I honestly think they’re a bit average in genuinely wet muddy conditions. Don’t think I’ll run them again.

Poor sidewall construction – I put BFG KM2 and done 120klms and first time off road one tyre scraped trough the side walls in the rocks and the other side front blew out with with huge bubbles and rendered the tyre useless. I don't think I would bother spending the extra money you pay for these again for so called quality  Show details

Great product, still just as good as the KM1's – Got a set of these before heading on my last big offroading trip, was a little disappointed to find out that they had superseded there KM1's with these. A little worried as well as my old tyres had almost 100000kms on them and still performing. They have done the job stayed inflated and hopefully last the length of the old ones.  Show details

Exellent – They are amazing fwd tyres they are awesome off track and really good on road still. Your car almost feels like it’s driving on air.. the tread is really thick and actually last! Unless you really like to go off-road then you may need to replace a little more often but I love them  Show details

Quality mud tyre – If you are looking for a mud tyre I would recommend these, I have now got 50k on these tyres (on and off road) they are still half tread and extremely quite for a mud tyre on the road, with every mud tyre there is some sacrifice to on the road driving but these are by far the best I’ve had.  Show details

Great tread pattern for going anywhere! – Great muddies, strong sidewalls but still plentynof flex in the wall. This is my second set, this time in 265/76/16. Had 33/12.5/15 previously and they were great but made for slow going in between awesome 4wding trips. I fitted the 265’s for towing and they suit the car a lot better. I’ll happily buy another set tomorrow.  Show details

Excellent Tyres! – These are great performers. I have done 120,000kms on current set and they are still road legal. Never had any issues with on road handling (wet or dry) Only really got noisy at about 100,000kms Done the Simpson, Cape York, Flinders Ranges and lots of the Vic High Country. Tyre pressure and regular rotate and balance are the key. Looking at… Read more

all these reviews only seals the deal. I'm buying a new set for my trip to the Kimberly's via the Tanami Track.

Long time user. Harsh terrain tyre with great durability and on road handling – I replace these every two years due to the nature of my driving. I have always been able to sell the old ones for a great price. I am happy with the cost per year to have no tyre issues on our trips and knowing that with a full size 4wd and an offroad van (also using these tyres) that I am doing the best to protect the performance of the car on the road and off while protecting my family and everyone elses.  Show details

Best tyres I've had so far!! – Have had these tyres for nearly 1 year and around 20,000kms. Best tyres I have owned yet. They are very quiet for mud tyres on the road, and also have very good handling. They have worked great in rocks, mud and sand off road and would highly recommend them! Looking forward to seeing how they go in the future.  Show details

Great mud tyre – Good tyre on the road for a mud tyre. Not slippery in the wet. Great off-road in rich and mud. Good puncture and tear resistance. Low road noise if rotated correctly. Got good km's out of first set so I bought again.one of the best mud tyres I have used that is still safe on the hard top. Well priced  Show details

Good grip, doesn't like hard braking, – Recently I purchased a set of 265/75/16 for my GU. First ting I noticed was the extra tyre flex in corners and the lack of grip when hard braking. But they are a mud tyre so to be expected. 15000kms further on they are wearing well and square. Not as noisy as the old bar pattern but a pleasant surprise on sealed surfaces. I'd be happy to get… Read more

60000kms out of them as we drive some terrain in the high country. BFG's have a good and longstanding reputation in the industry for all the right reasons.

Good Milage. Tough Tyres – Fitted these are getting over 100000Kms off the old pattern. Really good tyre. Size 32x11.5x15 Superior performance. Great traction. Puncture resistant. Sold the car with these tyres still fitted and had done over 70000kms with them and still had lots of life left in them. Cannot recommend them enough. .  Show details

Very tough and loads of grip – 265/70R17 I've been off road three times and I have nothing but good words to say. Very impressed. I like to push my hilux to the limit and these boots get you to the other side with amazing ability. I do mostly forest tracks on 20PSI. I have a set of michelin road tyres for city driving and they are far superior to these for road manners… Read more

but hey, that's not what I'm after with these KM2 boots.

Word of warning, I've heard the genuine 'made in USA' ones are the only real deal. Apparently there are some cheaper versions floating about that are not as well made. it could be a rumour.

hard reliable tires – Got recommended the brand from a friend that tried a few other brands , really happy with performance and wear , great in all conditions , of course you can scrape any tire on a sharp rock just watch the road ahead and avoid if possible . Used on my Toyota Hilux and happy with them ill defineatly buy again same when I'm due  Show details

VERY TOUGH TIRE! – I have had a set of these for 20,000km, and about 5000 of those km's were with the wheels spinning offroad. No joke, these are one tough tire. They still have at least 50% tread left. They are ok in the wet, relatively quiet. There are better wet weather tires, and my ute is very light so I don;t know how they would go with a heavy trailer and wet… Read more

weather stopping. But damn to they last. Perfect for long distance gravel roads, corrugated roads, pot holes roads etc. I heard they have a soft sidewall but no punctures yet, and I spend 2 months in the goldfeilds of western australia.

They are 100 times better than Khumo KL71's which lasted me only 1 week then split open from side to side. NO JOKE! They were replaced under warranty for the BFGOODRICHS

The best 4x4 tyre on the market – If you're looking for durable, quiet and extremely tractive tyres for your 4wd, look no further. I've had the KM2's for over 5 years and 55,000km and not once was I let down. I sold the 4wd so had to let the KM2's go with it. Having 18" wheels on my new 4wd means the options for KM2's are very limited, so I'm hanging out for more sizes to become… Read more

available, or a KM3!

My KM2's have done the usual 4wd locations (Cape York, Tele Track/Frenchmans, etc) and I can attest to their durabitily, excellent traction and very low road noise. Having tried other popular brands over the years, I'm sticking with the BFG's.

For those whinging of wear issues and noise, I say this:

When you lift your 4wd after fitting tyres and don't get a balance and alignment, that's your own fault.

If you run your tyres and silly pressures and they wear uneven, that's your own fault.

If you drive through bush/scrub where there is no track and trees down everywhere, and get sidewall stakes or punctures, that's your own fault.

If you like to pull fully sick skids or smoke it up when you're not going anywhere off road, and your tyres are wearing in crap all k's, that's your own fault.

Tyre companies who make excellent tyres such as these can make extremely strong tyres, but they can't cure stupid. If you want a Russian assault tank - buy one. Tyres are not designed to cover idiocy.

Buy these tyres!

Hooroo

Chunks of rubber falling off – These were bought for my Suzuki and less than 2000kms and chunks of rubber a falling off and cut up. Not USA made as I thought. The rubber compound is very hard and the guy at the fitting shop said that he was boaderline not going to fit them because the pressure that he had to get in them to bead. Won't be buying them again. It seems like it's a… Read more

gamble from the good and bad reviews. I'm presuming the good reviews are the USA made ones. I had a friend with the all terrains and he said that his rubber started cutting and falling off as well.

BRILLIANT TYRES – 200 Series Landcruiser Sahara. Have travelled 10k so far, original factory tyres replaced at 65k. The BF's suit the vehicle perfectly. Quiet on the road and excellent grip in wet and slippery conditions, far better than the original Dunlops provided by the factory. Expensive but highly recommended over others have used Coopers, Pirelli and… Read more ·  1

Bridgestone types before and they are no match to these. Was told they are the best in the market at present.

Best tyre I've ever bought – I bought a set of new Bridgestone d697's 265/65/17 and ran them for 38,000km's and then got rid of those for a set of Km2 265/70/17. The Bridgestones started off very quiet and regularly rotated every 5,000km & pressure of 38psi. The initial quietness only lasted 1,000kms, then the bridgestone's became very very noisy and after about 20,000km… Read more

became scalloped, even with regular rotation. I put on the km2, which honestly started off very noisy, which I expected from a mud terrain, but after 1,500km have become A LOT quieter than the bridgestones were within the first 1,000kms! The tyres handle fantastically, even in the wet on bitumen, perform exactly how I wanted them too and look bloody tough.

Durable – Got a really good grip on rocky roads, snow, and other off road terrain.I have a Pajero and it's supposed to be a quiet car but driving on the road makes it quite noisy. Though its highly durable, they don't slide when stopping or turning quickly and still kicking after 5 years.  Show details

Good Mud Terrain Tyres – I've had these for some four years now. They have never let me down and are amazing off road. Please do keep in mind though that they are very much aimed at off road driving. They are amazing off road, however they are audibly louder on road. To be clear this is not complaint against them, just saying water is wet, the sky is blue and mud… Read more

terrain tyres are not a quite as road tyres.

I love the deep groves i.e lots of tread. And as silly as this sounds, they really look the part too.

Summary: great tyres if you spend more time off road than on.

Worst tyres ever – If you want too spend more time at the tyre shop buy these 1600 for a set could of bought a crap load of shoes and ran everywhere soft as butter sidewall only good for nice easy soft roads would never ever buy these tyres again 7 punctures in 10000 km look at them long enough and they will go flat very disappointed never had one puncture in my Micky ts and got 85 thou  Show details

Great grip but very noisy – I have recently purchased four of these tyres for a NW Pajero, size 265/70/R17. In the mud and ruts they grip really well - no problem to straddle ruts. My speedo is now around 2km/h optimistic at 110 instead of 7km/h out. Grip on road is reasonable. Only one bad thing about these tyres - they are incredibly noisy. I bought them after reading a… Read more

4WD Action review which had a dB rating less than the KO2 All Terrain's, but man I think the dB meter must have been having an off day. I have KM's on my old GQ, and to be frank barely noticed them, but maybe that was because everything else was noisy. With the Pajero, its gone from a quiet car into a very noisy one. So, very happy with everything except the noise.

Good Traction Poor wear loud and bad vibrations – They have good traction on dirt and mud but chip and wear easily also the noise from these tyres gets really bad especially when they wear down to less than 50 percent the sound gets worse and worse everyone that enters the car for the first time comments on it.  Show details

Great value – I got a set of these 45.000 km ago and they are still going don’t worry about all these fancy brands these do the job and a good job at that Show details
