Most customers rate wet traction highly with scores between 7-10, praising reliable grip and hydroplaning resistance. The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 excels in off-road wet conditions, delivering confident performance aligned with its maximum traction design.

...I encountered some torrential rain on a drive right after getting them, and once again they surprised me. Some review I read had the drivers complaining about wet traction and handling, I didnt encounter any such issues. Actually, they stuck to the road very well, allowing me to take some 45mph warning turns at 60-65 mph...
Just got a set of these tires after researching for countless hours on truck forums, tire sites, and friends. I heard mostly good things so I decided to try a set after having good luck with the previous style BFG MTs. Let me say, in the first day these tires surprised me. They're soooo quiet for a mud terrain tire, let alone one this aggressive. On the road they roll smooth, and also handle quite well on dry pavement, much better than the previous design BFG, and nearly as good as an all terrain tire. I encountered some torrential rain on a drive right after getting them, and once again they surprised me. Some review I read had the drivers complaining about wet traction and handling, I didnt encounter any such issues. Actually, they stuck to the road very well, allowing me to take some 45mph warning turns at 60-65 mph.
I have yet to take these off road on to some serious trails, however I have 2 trips planned in the next 2 weeks that should allow me to try them out and evaluate their off pavement prowess. I will follow up with another review after a bit more miles and after some more varied conditions.

...Also they resist hydroplaning amazingly. I frequently have them over 85mph even in the rain and have yet to hydroplane once even in a couple inches of water...
I have a fairly modified grand cherokee including axle swap from olen diff laredo to elsd converted to locker axles out of a limited hemi. Its lifted 4" and i admin an offroad group. We wheel frequently and hard. Ive chopped them up a bit from tucking them into a body pinch weld and chunked a little from slicing them and on sharp rocks. They hold up to both very well. Even with tread damage they are as quiet as my old dueler rhs of the same size.
I have not had the pleasure of snow yet but look forward to it very much. I hear a harsh winter in coming and i live in the cuyahoga vally so im hoping the hills will makes them shine. Also they resist hydroplaning amazingly. I frequently have them over 85mph even in the rain and have yet to hydroplane once even in a couple inches of water. They resist wear pretty well as after 12k im still better than 80% even with rock spinning. They do however have a tendency of sliding a little on coners on concrete but almost all tires do. They squawk so id say theyre still gripping better than most.

Customers praise the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2's deep snow and packed snow traction, with most scoring 9s and 10s. Ice traction shows more variability, with ratings ranging 0-10, but many report solid grip in severe conditions when used as intended for off-road winter adventures.

So far driven dry roads, rain, and snow/ice. Wasn't sure what to expect on a non-siped tire but this one is impressive. Going to take it out on the trail soon and see how it does there, I doubt it will be less than amazing there too.

...As soon as I got them installed I went to in the snow. These tires cleaned themselves out perfectly and I was surprised how far I was able to go without using 4 wheel drive. I was pushing snow with my front bumper in 2 wheel drive and the tires cleaned themselves out perfectly...
The BFG Km2 are probably the best tires I have ever had. I have tried many different types of tires for many years and the BFG KM2 are the best tires I have ever had on my pickup. As soon as I got them installed I went to the snow. These tires cleaned themselves out perfectly and I was surprised how far I was able to go without using 4 wheel drive. I was pushing snow with my front bumper in 2 wheel drive and the tires cleaned themselves out perfectly. The only flaw I have is I just planned on buying another set of 4 BFG KM2 and I found the price of the tires has gone way up which is very disappointing. Now, what I had originally set aside to buy tires is not enough. The tires last year were $218 per tire. This year the BFG KM2 are $235 per tire. The tires have gone up $17 per tire since last year. Last year I paid $872 plus tax, shipping, and installation. Now these same tires are $940 for a set of 4 which does not include tax, shipping which also went up $60 and installation. That is a little absurd and its a difference of $68 for a set of 4 tires. I could see maybe $5 more per tire but not almost $20 more per tire. That is just wrong. I also found that these tires do wear pretty fast even though I rotate them every 3,000 miles. Last year BFG had a $50 rebate and this year there are no rebates on a set of 4 tires which is also disappointing. Now I have to wait and save my money because the tires and shipping cost have gone up so much and it is an increase of about $120 - $150 more this year from last year. The shipping last year for all 4 tires was $65. This year its now $110 to ship all 4 tires. That is an increased cost in shipping of about $45. Currently, my BFG KM2 from last year are almost bald and I planned to buy some new tires this month until I saw that the prices went up a lot. Hopefully, I can buy the tires next month but we will see if the price continues going up or not. Overall, these tires are great but the price is just wrong.

...There was at least a foot of snow or more getting up to the Silver Tips at the 5000' elevation. These tires performed awesome. I was pushing snow with the front bumper and the KM2's never packed up and slung the snow out of the tread just like they were supposed to do...
I was apprehensive about trying these tires as I bought the BFG Commerical TA Traction tires last year. Those tires were terrible. They did wear good but traction in the mud and snow was terrible. BFG tires are very expensive and the tread wear on BFG's seem to begin wearing quickly with aggressive traction tires on my 06 Silverado crew cab Duramax. These new KM2's are a great tire. They do seem to wear on the outisde front tires fairly soon (I had a front end allignment as well) even with the tires with only 60 pounds of pressure. The traction of these tires is truely great. We went Christmas tree searching at the end of October. There was at least a foot of snow or more getting up to the Silver Tips at the 5000' elevation. These tires performed awesome. I was pushing snow with the front bumper and the KM2's never packed up and slung the snow out of the tread just like they were supposed to do. The KM2's performed equally as well in the mudd. Ice, well, I dont believe any tire is going to work well in the ice. On the second trip, the snow had iced over and was about 4-6" thick. We powered through it but we did slide around on the cambered areas of the roadway surface which was a seat puckering experience at 4500' on the cliff side sliding sideways. I would absolutely buy these tires again and I only plan on buying these tires from this point on. I would like to see the tread a little deeper than 18/32 new to compensate for the early tread wear but overall these tires are truly a great tire. I would highly recomend buying these tires if you do work and play in the mud and snow. These tires do give you some peace of mind in mud and snow. These tires did well in the ice but but they do lose traction on cambered roadway surfaces and I have yet to see a tire that doesent lose traction in this type of situation. I highly reccomend these tires and plan on only buying these KM2's from this point on unless of course BFG raises the price to high and I can't afford them.

Customers overwhelmingly rate the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2's dry traction as excellent, with most scoring 9s and 10s. High marks highlight confident grip and stability in off-road conditions, aligning perfectly with its maximum traction design intent.

...When the road is dry, they grip like stink on ST. I have had several occasions when I have had to swerve at speed in order to avoid hitting things, and while the top-heavy FJ heels over alarmingly the end result is all good.
These tires are awesome. Nearly 42K on them and there is still a fair amount of tread left. They have withstood everything that I have thrown at them from river crossings, mud, sand, and some snow. I spend a fair amount of time driving in Mojave desert and in the Sierras. Not rock crawling but more overland and trail driving. I can't think of a better tire for this.
On the highway, they are stable and very predictable. They don't seem to hydroplane at all, but they can break loose on wet roads in the curves. Duh! When the road is dry, they grip like stink on S**T. I have had several occasions when I have had to swerve at speed in order to avoid hitting things, and while the top-heavy FJ heels over alarmingly the end result is all good.
You do need to keep rotating them (I do with every oil change) of they wear funny. It could be my truck, but the alignment shop swears that my truck is straight and properly aligned. No biggie. Once you get funny wear you get more noise and sometimes a bit of vibration. Generally they are rather quiet.
Overall I'd say that they are an excellent value and one awesome tire for off road. I plan on buying more when the time comes.

...BFG's new KM2s offer superior performance in rock crawling, snow, mud, dryscape, and lateral/vertical gripping...
An excellent offroad tire, probably the best I've ever used in many years of offroading. Moreover, it's not bad on the pavement either.
As for its offroading capabilities, which is what I use it for the most, I've never driven a tire that proves so versatile. These tires have been delightful and life-saving on both the Rubicon and Fordyce Creek trails. BFG's new KM2s offer superior performance in rock crawling, snow, mud, dryscape, and lateral/vertical gripping. I can't speak highly enough about the performance of these tires. Kudos, once again, to BFG! (And until now, I've not been a avid fan of BFG.)
My only complaint lies in the treadwear, which occurs at a somewhat higher-than-expected rate both offroad and onroad, but particulary offroad on the rocks. There, even slight wheel spins result in a sandpaper effect to the tread, peeling painfully large amounts of rubber off the tire - albeit without chunks in the lugs, etc. - just even, yet painful treadwear. Nevertheless, and of important note, the treadwear is no worse than most of the competition; but for such an outstanding, competition crushing product otherwise, I expected more in the area of tread wear resistance.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend the tire. Will buy again and again. :)

...On road, the ride is smooth for a mud tire, and handling is surprisingly precise for such a tall sidewall (33 on 15 wheels)...
I'm running 33x10.5's and have been extremely impressed with this tire. I was running BFG AT's previously, and my primary concern with switching to this tire was how it would handle light snow and ice during the winter here in Vermont. While not as good as my AT's in hard packed snow or on ice, they were never out of control or at a complete loss of traction. In light unplowed snow they were just as good as my AT's. In deep snow there was no comparison, the KM2's just dug right through everything, loose, packed or otherwise. I was really impressed come mud season this year. I live on a very steep dirt road, and when VT clay mud gets wet, it's a mess. This is not the first mud tire I've run, but so far it is by far the best. The only downside was my tendency to seek out the deepest mud holes, usually extending my drive home. In mud, deep snow and on the trail, these tires have never let me down.
On road, the ride is smooth for a mud tire, and handling is surprisingly precise for such a tall sidewall (33" on 15" wheels). Road noise is present but minimal, nothing that would become bothersome, even on the highway. After 8000 rough miles (I travel as much on dirt roads as on paved) they show very little wear. I would definitely recommend these tires and will purchase them again when the time comes.

Most customers rate ride comfort highly with scores 8-10, noting smooth off-road performance. Noise levels are typical for aggressive mud-terrain tires, with many scoring 7-10 in noise comfort.

I have never had a mud tire that has been so quiet and balance so easily; the heaviest weight was under 3oz! I have run the T/A KM mud terrains before and was pleased with the road manners but these have surpassed what I think a mud tire should do on the highway...
I just put these tires on my pickup a couple days ago but have put several hundred highway miles on them. I have a 1980 GMC K25 that has a 4" lift, and they are by far the best tire I have ever run so far. I have never had a mud tire that has been so quiet and balance so easily; the heaviest weight was under 3oz! I have run the T/A KM mud terrains before and was pleased with the road manners but these have surpassed what I think a mud tire should do on the highway. It drives better than my 1997 Subaru, no question about it!

...Over all the tire looks great, low noise and good ride comfort...
I've had this tire for about 150 miles. great looking tire. 1 of my tires required a lot of weight to get it to balance 21oz inside and 17oz on the outer...for a 37/12.5/20 on a 20x10...maybe on the average they required 10oz inside and 6-8oz outside. Over all the tire looks great, low noise and good ride comfort. I havent put them to their full potential but I have no doubt they'll do great from reading other reviews. I've read that people are having ride disturbance above 60mph...most tire shops wont go out of their way to use up all their lead as it can easily use up a whole box to balance a set and get your tire(s) balanced correctly but if done, there will be no ride disturbance.

The best tires I ever bought,they just eat up the snow and mud and they ride so much nicer than the toyos mudders I had on. No body roll at highway speed and great on sand just air down a little and go.

Most customers rate the KM2's treadwear as excellent, with scores of 9-10 dominating. A few note lower durability in extreme off-road use, but high marks highlight reliable longevity for aggressive terrain.

...Good treadwear. Seem to be lasting forever...
Run 'em about 38 lbs. Not too good on gas, but very comfy and stable. Noisy as heck, but I like it. There supposed to be. And the glory comes out off-road or in deep snow. The rim guard is nice for you "new truck" guys, too. It will protect those shiny "$600 factory replacement cost" rims nicely. Good treadwear. Seem to be lasting forever. Had a set of Dunlop Mud Rovers before, and I will not go back.

The best off road tires I have ever used, they are superior on mud ,snow; highway driving never had an issue. Wear is excellent.
I've used the Bf Goodrich mud terrains, but Km2 is much better.
would recommend them.
