New BFG All Terrain T/A KO2

[darkfox1]

Cant wait to get a set of these on my truck. Looks great with mud on it.

 

since you're in Ontario, I assume that means you're gonna have a snow/ice review for us fairly soon too?

 

We here in GA don't get much, its mostly ice when we do and lasts a couple days at the most, but thats enough to absolutely cripple us since we have no road scrapers, no tire chains, and no knowledge of how to drive on it. My truck has bridgestone HTs on it now and It's very hard to drive on wet roads. I'm really worried about when we start getting early morning ice. But I won't be able to get these in the next 3 months cos I need to buy 2 more rims too. (less money moe problems. )

I will review them in the snow. I hated my regular at KO tires in the snow so I hope these are better

Hopefully they perform better. They seem to be just a ko1 with more sidewall structure. Maybe the "improved rubber" helps. I'm really wanting to upgrade the sra tires. They look over half gone so I won't feel bad about replacing them. I'll be awaiting some more feedback. Thanks again snarkee.

I emailed BF Goodrich to see about future sizes. Not holding my breath. I'm expecting "more sizes will be available later" type comment. If they offer the same as the original KOs,that's a start. Will post response when/if it comes.

If you look closely, the tread blocks and siping (along with the sidewall) are also quite different from the old version. I think those changes, with the change in rubber compound, will make a difference in winter performance....at least I hope so anyway.

 

And thanks for the updates, snarkee.

Thanks. I saw that on their site. I am hoping there is going to be more sizes coming. I'm sure there are as the original KO line has many more options, and I assume the KO2s will replace the KOs eventually.

They should be better based on upgrades/changes. I'm just waiting on a couple reports of snow handling, even though in central TX, snow is not that common. Couple bad ice storms last year, but I drive back to Nebraska for deer hunting in Nov/Dec and there is usually a lot of snow/ice. Most of the time, for now anyway, will just be pavement pounding.

How is the ride with the D load range compared to stock (ride wise), and how much of an mpg loss did you see? I see the 275-55-20's are 54lbs. I am contemplating getting the 275-60-20's which are 55lbs and was curious the differences you have seen. Thanks!

[snarkee]

They are a bit tougher. Not a big deal for me. Mpg maybe down 1. If that

Thank you sir! Appreciate the quick reply. Another question for you. I know the ride is probably a little more harsh hitting cracks, expansion joints etc, but do you feel more imperfections in the road, or does the 8 ply not transfer as many imperfections into the cab? I have read that some people are actually pleased with the LT ride over the P. Thanks again!

My p rated eagle ls tires were rough riding from factory. The BFG are a touch rougher on road cracks but I haven't noticed anything with the road imperfections

I am having the BFG AT KO2's installed tomorrow on my 15' Sierra 2500. I'm doing a leveling kit and trying the 285/65 R18. I will post pics when they get it done and update on any rubbing.

Im eager to see that. Im planning on these tires as well but in 275 60r20 on my 2500.

I can't wait to see pics of these! I would also like to hear your opinion of them after a few miles.

Just a quick pic before they align the front end. More to come when it's done.
