Very happy with my BFG's
I drive a Toyota Hilux 4.0 V6 petrol, which puts a lot of pressure on rear tyres in normal road use. The BF Goodrich KO2's handle this very well. I would say that they are the best off-road tyres I have ever used, in 3 sets of tyres I have had no puncture where other brands have had several punctures on the same terrain. One weak spot is wet tar performance, which could be better.
Essential overland equipment.
Been using BFG A/T since 2007 and not once had an issue with the tire. I travel overland extensively, and it is the only tire that I trust. These tires are part of my "essential overland equipment" list. Will never leave home without them.
Longevity and toughness
As a person who drives a lot due to the type of work that I do. I would recommend this tyre. I'm in a construction industry in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape closer to the Drankensberg mountains. These tyres last and they are tough. The grip I get when I'm on the gravel road (wet or dry) is good and the fact that I do not have to worry about damaging the tyre due to extra thick walls the it has.
Reliable tyre
Did my first trip to Namibia with my 2002 Mitsubishi Colt Rodeo 4x4 bakkie with 4 BF Goodrich All terrains 265/70/16 and one spare tyre. Drove from Gauteng to Nambia and back, entering by Ariamsvlei and going to Fish River Canyon, Sossusvlei, Henties Bay and till by Cape Cross seal cologny and back to SA via Rietfontein borderpost. Camped on private farms and drove mostly dirt roads covering a total of about 6000km. We had no punctures nor any tyre blow outs. Went to Namibia again recently, doing a similar route, but also going more north to Torra Bay, Palmwag and Etosha. We covered about 8000km, this time with another popular, cheaper brand of all terrain tyres on the Colt, plus 3 spares. We had a total of 3 punctures, which we did not notice on the dirt roads, until 2 tyres were shredded and one tyre could at least be fixed with a mushroom plug. We also had to buy another second hand spare tyre, as we ran out of spares.Had to buy a second hand spare tyre, as we ran out of spares. So BF Goodrich All terrains definitely proved to be the best tyre, if I compared the first trip to the second.
General Ko2 Review
Excellent off road and dry on road tyre. On road and in wet conditions, horrible.
Confidence
What I love most about these tires is their resilience. Sidewall damage used to be a constant worry, but not anymore. The KO2 tires are like armor for your wheels. They just don't seem to care about sharp rocks or jagged terrain. You can power through without constantly fretting about punctures or tears in the sidewalls.
Excellent
In conclusion, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires make an excellent option for individuals who enjoy off-roading while still using their vehicle for daily commuting. They exhibit exceptional performance in demanding terrains whilst giving your vehicle the aggressive look you were hoping for. If you're willing to invest in these tires, they are sure to meet your expectations. They are definitely my current and future first option tire.
K02 Review
Best value for money tyre available, incredible durability and superb off-road performance
BFG KO2 for 4WheelingSA YouTube Channel
I have been using the K02s on my Fortuner for almost 4 years now. For my YouTube channel, 4WheelingSA, it is important to have reliable tyres as I travel alone on many instances to capture content. This include driving some tyre unfriendly 4x4 trails. Thus far the tyres have not put a foot (wheel) wrong.
Reliable and hardy
They are good for off-road and very good when there is loads of potholes. No flat tyres and done near 80 00km on them. Will replace them definitely with BF's again. The only negative I would say is they are heavy but they are good tyres
