Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2—frequently known as the "BFG KO2"—is an Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire developed to meet the needs of jeep, pickup truck and sport utility vehicle drivers who want confidence and control on and off road. The All-Terrain T/A KO2 was designed by BFGoodrich to deliver go-anywhere traction along with outstanding durability, great wear and year-round traction, even in snow.

All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires feature a racing derived cut-, chip- and tear-resistant tread compound that delivers longer life (up to 2 times the previous generation tire's treadwear on gravel roads). The compound is molded into an aggressive, computer optimized, high-void all-terrain pattern with interlocking tread blocks, innovative siping and multiple loose object ejection features to combine off-road durability and traction with on-road handling and acceptable noise.

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2Upper shoulder Sidewall Armor features a tougher sidewall rubber compound that's twice as thick as its predecessor and a Serrated Shoulder Design that delivers additional traction by providing the clawing action necessary to develop traction and steering control in deep dirt, sand or on rock during "aired down" off-road driving.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon on top of BFGoodrich's TriGard, 3-ply polyester cord sidewall ply construction (2 plies for Load Range C tires) for strength and durability.

Single strand beads (a single strand of bead wire is continuously wrapped multiple times until the desired strength is provided) enhance the tire's fit to the wheel to improve uniformity and ride quality.

NOTE: BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

Continental 4x4 Contact Reviews

Customer feedback data reveals the Continental 4x4 Contact delivers strong dry traction (scores 8-10) and adequate comfort, with many praising its smooth ride despite some reports of road noise. Treadwear scores (4-5 average) raise concerns, with multiple reports of premature wear limiting long-term value. Winter traction shows mixed results (scores 3-7), with some drivers noting struggles on ice and packed snow. Wet performance is inconsistent, with hydroplaning resistance varying widely (scores 1-9). While the tire excels in dry conditions typical of its all-season touring role, buyers prioritizing winter capability or extended mileage may want to consider these limitations carefully.

...However I must admit these tires deliver an exceptional driving experience...

After reviewing survey scores and reading the reviews I was sceptical about these tires. However I must admit these tires deliver an exceptional driving experience. This winter we drove through 12" of unplowed snow with out hesitation. It offers a very quiet and comfortable ride on the highway. In heavy rain there is no hydroplaning. I highly recommend the 4x4 Contact and will purchase again.

...Dry ride is impeccable; all of my passengers commented on the quiet, smooth ride from the Hayden and Denver airports.

I was initially concerned with this OEM tire. I purchased the vehicle as a ski truck and was unsure how the Contacts would behave in the Colorado mountains. Several trips over Loveland and Rabbit Ears Passes and I'm amazed how well the tires performed on snow-packed roads.

Even more surprising, they also did fine maneuvering the vehicle in and out of an icy, tight driveway on the side of the mountain above Steamboat Springs.

I'll probably move to dedicated snow tires for next winter but these tires didn't keep me from reaching my destinations.

Mixed results with concerning scores between 0-6. Some report poor wet traction, sliding, and hydroplaning, though others give 9s-10s. Disappointing inconsistency for an all-season tire's intended use.

...In the slightest shower, you feel like you are in life or death driving conditions...

These came on my 2019 MB GLS450, and I am already going to replace them. They are HORRIBLE, possibly the worst tires I've ever owned. In the slightest shower, you feel like you are in life or death driving conditions. In dry, you can practically watch the tread disappearing.

Horrible.

...Wet traction is miserable. These tires will hydroplane at the thought of water...

These tires are woefully incompetent at everything they do. Dry traction is ho-hum, likely from the bizarrely soft sidewalls. Braking traction is also just ok, lots of wandering with light braking and even more when you get into them. Wet traction is miserable. These tires will hydroplane at the thought of water. The real fun starts when the snow begins. These tires are complete garbage in the snow. Slush, ice, compacted snow, all of it. They float, wander, have no feedback, and basically make travel at anything over walking speed treacherous.
There is exactly ZERO chance I will ever buy these tires again. Don't waste your time!

...Recent drives in moderate to heavy rain have been very uncomfortable as car failed to track well. Drives fine on dry roads, but very unsure in wet conditions...

Tread wear not good, and matches poor 360 rating treadwear rating. Disappointing to have to replace an OE tire at 34,000 miles. Tread is now down to 4/62 (3mm) which is minimal for my wet Pacific NW climate. Recent drives in moderate to heavy rain have been very uncomfortable as car failed to track well. Drives fine ofndry roads, but very unsure in any other condicions. Has not done well the few times I have driven in snow. Would not buy again, and will switch to a MIchelin tires for the next set.

...Terrible traction and dangerous in winter driving...

Great highway tire, everything else not so good. Should not be listed as an all-season tire. Terrible traction and dangerous in winter driving. Traction is not good even in dry after 10k miles. Longer breaking distances and bad traction when accelerating or towing. Due to safety, I am purchasing new tires from a different manufacturer.
