We have similar conditions in Australia. I have been running these tyres on a Nissan Patrol. When new they were the best tyres I ever had. However age has not been kind. Although they still work well in dry conditions, when it rains they are not happy. I have had experiences that would turn my hair grey, if it wasn't already. They just let go in the wet. The only time I have had a worse experience is when driving a 3 wheel car in snow with road tyres. Maybe if Covid hadn't kept us indoors I would have worn them out quicker. On that basis they might have still been the best, but at 3 years old even with remaining tread they have to go.

Pity I can not show a video about my H3 tackling Finnish forest with those same tires. We do not have desert sand but we have very nasty tree stumps that can and will puncture lesser tires. My old Blazer -79 has an earlier version of the same tread, and it used to have even earlier version of BFG AT:s. As we have some kind of winter here in Finland, all new versions have been even better than previous ones when it comes to snow traction. The first ones were more than good, but that latest version is practically a proper winter tire. I also have a Jeep GC ZJ, that has re-treaded tires that have exactly the same tread pattern as the first version had. The tire carcasses are not as tough as BFG's, but they have lasted too. The tread pattern is the magic here. Now, some may wonder why I chose those tires and trucks. The truth is that here at Arctic Circle the car or truck must be reliable and not stupidly expensive. The tires must take the punishment. If you are stranded here in the woods it may be dangerous in the winter. Toyotas are best but stupidly expensive here. Land Rovers and Range Rovers used to be good but not any more. G Mercs are too fragile, they just did not take it, I tried. Old Chevys can take it and are cheap. H3 is far better off road than it's reputation, just like the H2, but H2 is too cube for forest use. Jeep is almost as unreliable as British 4x4:s, but it is a cheap option that is good enough off road, excellent in the winter. I have also tried the Goodyear Wrangler, but it did not last long. It wears out astonishingly fast. Coopers were adequate, just like Bridgestones. BFG:s are the best so far.

On my 4th set of tires for my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and I've tried four different types. The first set was the last gen BFG AT which worked very well on road, and decent off road in sand and rock, but had very weak sidewalls and were punctured several times through the tread and sidewall (had at least one patch in every tire, including spare). These lasted about 50,000 miles. Tired of performing repairs, the next set was the Goodyear with Kevlar. These were phenomenal off road, and I never really worried about trail damage, but they were very heavy, and terrible on road (not to mention expensive). The traction was such that any minute change in the road surface and the Jeep would pull in that direction. And they only lasted about 35,000-40,000 miles. Third set was Pro-Comp Xtreme AT. Again, good on road and smooth, lasted about 50,000 miles, but compared to the Goodyears, off-road traction and overall capability was reduced dramatically. Now on these BFG AT KO2, which I've seen nothing but positive remarks about, and had to wait over a week for them to be shipped in as they are so popular. So far, very happy with them. Very nice on road, very quiet (which now allows me to hear all the other noised my Jeep is making :-/ ). Haven't hit anything really rough outdoors yet but if they compare to the first set of BFGs I had then I think I will be ok as long as I air-down (which wasn't as required with the Goodyears, but necessary for ride comfort due to the ultra-stiff kevlar sidewalls). Again, thank you for your videos. I've watched them all several times over the past couple years, and you truly inspire the adventurer spirit. One day I hope to get to Southern Africa (hopefully with my Jeep) to see and do these same amazing things, and maybe take enough video for my own show lol.

I've only run BFGs for last 20+ years. Load E and can tell you they are not made like they used to be. They are impossible to balance and are all out of round. Closer to egg shape than a circle. Try this test-jack your wheel 1/8" off the pavement and spin the tire. You will see what I mean. This summer with 60% tread left my KO2 all began separating, cracking and developing a warp. Sears manager called BFG with me standing next to him. He verified we've been chasing this issue for over a year, they were aired correctly and rotated and BFG didn't want to cooperate with very much of a proration. On July 4th it happened. I had a blowout while on a curving country road. It was terrifying. Only after threatening to sue did BFG offer to help by charging $400 to replace the set. It's been three months and already the whabble is back on brand new tires.

WOW what a difference, never going back to the wider tires. It was like I got 20 more horsepower and the mud and snow /ice performance improved. The on road tracking and braking was better as well as an increase in mpg because of less rolling resistance. I think us Americans have been bamboozeld by the industry that BIGGER/WIDER is better.

Balancing was not an issue, and I couldn’t make a battery out of the 25 - 70g of lead needed per rim. Smooth on the highway and quiet (I expected more road noise). Can hardly wait to take it back into the desert - last weekend’s trip on the factory fitted Dunlops had me worried; at low pressures with a heavy load and 5 adults in the SUV. Keep up the good work, will fit KO2’s for my 3 month overlanding trip on the USA this summer!

My old Michelins after 50k miles looked like they had been through a cheese grater. First day and I instantly felt much better grip and even more smooth rides over small potholes. I can't explain it but I feel safer with these things, every gravel, pothole infused hill I go on I feel like they are saying: "fuck you, is that all you got?" very quite and smooth on the highway, I love these tires.

On road, I am experiencing about 5% more fuel consumption compared to the Goodyear AT20's they replaced. Also, a bit of road noise by comparison, but my Wife does not notice, and I don't find it annoying at all. They have made the vehicle handling, with a 2" suspension lift, significantly better than it was with the Goodyear AT20. No off-road trial yet...this weekend...but much more precise steering on-road.

Really love your videos Andrew. I do wonder if BFG has improved the KO2. I am a 30 year vehicle tech, and the number of KO2s that I have seen with tread separation over the years almost outnumbers all other tires combined. We used to call them the separators. They seem to do well for the first 50 percent of their tread life, then start shaking and bulging. I love the tires though, but would never put them on anything I own.

Now they just need to bring them out in more (better) sizes... I was all set to replace my 3rd set of KO1's with the new KO2's but with no 255/85R16 or 33/10.50x15's they're just never going to be an option for me and I'm "stuck" with the old style. I'd LOVE to see a 34x10.50x15 and 16 for my Diesel swapped Hilux (would give my PERFECT final gearing) and they MAKE a 34x10.50x17... but no "tall skinny" sizes for the 15" and 16" rim crowd. I've been a huge fan of the KO1 for the same reasons you list and I've run them hard both here in the Pacific NW US and in NE Australia for years a set but... the new KO2's are just HTAT much better as you say. Same winning recipe for those of us who travel hard country but with the added benefit of even better mud traction (here in Oregon we have a LOT of water most of the year and LOTS of mud and the KO2's we tested on a Tacoma were pretty awesome and certainly better then any AT tire I've ever driven), less road noise and more side-wall protection/traction. They're just a totally improved tire and it's sad that they're filling the OE and Mall-Crawler after-market crowd before the make tires for the users who gave the tires their name and credibility in the first place...

I know ASPW is sponsored by BF Goodrich but he has a history of upsetting his sponsors/advertisers for telling it like it is not like they want it to be told. His opinion is just that, HIS opinion. Anyway why can’t we have the BFG Trak Edge back it was the best all purpose 4x4 tyre ever !

I've read other people having trouble balancing them. I'd still buy them. Now if only they will them in 255/85/16 size

the early kos had a lot of balancing issues, back in the late 90s, the new set I have is easier to balance and the ko2s are quite good as well

These tires looked awesome on my Tacoma, however, 1 of them started showing cracks on the side wall. Soon after that, yeap it blew out on me. Maybe I just got a lemon? The other 3 held up great.

They need to make a tire like the wrangler all terrain. Something more aggressive than an all terrain, but not as aggressive as a mud terrain.

Hi Andrew, I'm running these on my Discovery 2 but wouldn't say I've found the "happy place" for them offroad in terms of pressure. Generally run them at 18-20 psi off road but friends seem to think I need to go lower as they arent bulging enough. What would you suggest?

He's right though.. I love my ko2's on my 110 tdi after having bfgs on my last defender... Likewise I love the goodyear eagles on my car. Good tyres are things you heavily grow to love!

Can you do a video on selecting the right tire size for a US market 100 series and if any considerations need to be made with AHC on the later 100 series land cruisers and lx470 models.

Thanks for the review. I enjoy your videos. I'm about to get new tires for my 4Runner. I was going to get Load Range E for the extra sidewall plys. Is that what you are using? I do most of my overloading in the Nevada (USA) desert where there are rocks and pokey things. Even rockier than the Mojave Road from your recent video. Thanks, -Mike

How much PSI do you inflate your KO2? some said it should be 50-55 psi, some only put 30psi on it (on highway). So what is your recommendation?

Unfortunately they stopped making the ko alongside the ko2. I found the ko (the old type of bfg all-terrains) to be superior in rain, ice and snow. Wish they still made them in 33x12.50r15. The new ko2 is shorter, wider and has less tread depth than the ko. Just a heads up to anyone looking at these

This doesn't make sense as the KO was not snow rated, and the KO2 now is. All other reviews I have read say how much better the KO2 is in snow compared to its predecessor.

I have a gx470 that is my daily driver but also do some backroads trails on the weekend. Like most people, I'm looking for a one tire to do-it-all. How's the noise on the pavement? Also, how is it in snow as well as the dry?

Great review as always Andrew. What tyre size would you recommend for the Land Cruiser (4.5 V8) with standard 16” rims?
@gs6810
4 жыл бұрын
I would recommend 285/75/16. They are 32.8 inches top to bottom and will give you about 1.4 inches of extra ground clearance over stock. I've seen land cruisers with a lift fit 35's. I have 265/75/16 on my Pajero, which is basically one size up from stock because of power, and re-gearing concerns (I didn't want to bog on uphill highway climbs and re-gearing is expensive) but sometimes I wish i got the 285's (often). 285/75 are two sizes up and are enough to tackle 90% of the trails out there, and with the power the 4.5 liter makes should work great on a land cruiser.

Gideon, thanks. I ended up getting the BF Goodrich 285/75 R16. They’re excellent. This is definitely the right size for the vehicle engine and gearing. The drive instantly felt much better and 1st and 2nd are now not so ridiculously short. The vehicle has more than enough power to handle these with ease, I’m surprised Toyota doesn’t put these tyres on as stock.
