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.

...It is a much smoother and quieter ride and grips very well in wet conditions...

These tires are a huge improvement over my previous tires that I bought at Discount Tires (Bravura), It is a much smoother and quieter ride and grips very well in wet conditions. I bought the Kumho brand because I had a very good experience when I put this brand on my Corvette back in the 90's. Very pleased with these tires.

...These tires deliver on all of these factors, in addition they are surprisingly good in light snow and rough ice. I do switch to dedicated winter tires for the 1/2 year that we have such conditions, but I got to try these in winter conditions before the changeover.

This size of tire reduces choices in the US to just a few tires. I tried these as the manufacturer is reputable and the cost was reasonable, also the focus on quiet ride and a smooth ride were high priorities. These tires deliver on all of these factors, in addition they are surprisingly good in light snow and rough ice.

...What was unexpected was decent traction in snow. This was true for the Subaru Sambar that they were on before the Daihatsu.

Kei trucks are not performance vehicles by any stretch, however these tires turned the truck from a golf-cart into a go-cart. Of course any good tire would have been an improvement over the stock truck tires. I've had (different model) Kumhos on my BMW Z3 and loved them so was optimistic on how they would do on a vehicle on the other end of the spectrum. I was impressed with the smooth ride and great cornering (for a mini-truck) on dry payment. What was unexpected was decent traction in snow. This was true for the Subaru Sambar that they were on before the Daihatsu.

...Traction has not been an issue even on loose gravel roads.

Recently installed these on my Tesla. I travel a mixed variety of dirt road, city, streets, state highways, and interstate roads. So far the tires perform well. Tires offer a nice ride quality even at 42 PSI. Traction has not been an issue even on loose gravel roads.

Fantastic handling and responsive, quiet and effective in wet & dry conditions...

Fantastic handling and driving tires. They are responsive, quiet and effective in wet & dry conditions. However, they wear out like crazy. They wear evenly, but they wear out too fast. Perhaps, it's the heavy 4-door Genesis V8 vehicle simply wearing down the tread. But, I've gone through two sets unsettlingly fast. I'm going to try something else.

I couldn't be happier with them, these tires are so whisper quiet and ride as smooth as silk. I replaced some off-road tires with them and I could not believe the difference. The ride quality and noise dropped significantly when I installed these tires. I am so happy I got them, they were worth every penny.
