Thanks for the review. I'll need new tires at some point. I currently have the KOs, and they have 70k miles on them. Had them rotated yesterday and they still have plenty of tread left! Since the wear has been fantastic, I expect I'll stick with this tire.

These Tires are great, amazing all weather traction. Smooth and quite on the road. Best tire I have owned.

I have had them all....

I wish they would offer them in the 255/80-17 E-rated like the MT's.

They look great! I'd love to see a zoomed out side view of the truck with them on

I just replaced my KOs with a set of KO2s. If they last as long as the KOs (76k miles) i'll be really happy.

I have load range E again. I ran the other set at around 60psi for highway/local driving. I read differing opinions on the correct pressure. The max is 80, I know there's no need to run that high. Is 60 to high, except when I'm towing?

My son just put them on his Wrangler- I can't wait to burn up my Kooks now that I've driven them and rode around with him a bit!

I've run the old AT's on a Blazer about 20 years ago, never went back to them- didn't really care for the ride and wear.

But now? Love the new KO2's. Love them. Look fantastic too. Fairly quiet ride, smooth, sufficiently aggressive tread, sexy. I like my Kooks and they are holding up to wear well, but I almost wish they weren't!

That's it.

Getting KO2's next week I guess. Much as I liked the Kooks, I am tired of getting them balanced every few weeks now it seems. If it weren't for having to drive on highways, I could live with it, but not anymore. The tread wears well, someone will get these cheap when I sell them off CL. Lots of life, just disappointed how they have gone south suddenly- not even half way through the tread.

Abso-freaking-lutely love this tire! 45# around, why did I wait so long?

I thought I really liked my Hankook ATM's- I did for about the first 10K, then I had balance issues. Got to where they needed re-balanced about every few weeks.

These KO2's roll so much better. Even though new, I can so easily feel the engineering BFG took to in creating the last tire I ever intend to buy.

BFG did a great job engineering this updated tire. It will be my next tire on my truck for sure!

How are these KO2s performing in heavy rain, standing water? How is their hydroplaning resistance? Anyone have long term experience with this tire in these conditions yet?

Had them put on last month and can't say enough good things about this tire.
Smooth ride, improved handling and less noise than my Geolander H/T's. Normally I'd go back to a highway tire but needed decent traction in the snow and the severe snow rating sold me. No regrets. I went with 265/70/17 C.

I just had them installed yesterday 275/60/20. I am really impressed with them so far and they look great!

I've run the BFG KO's on every truck I have owned for the past 30 years and they have never let me down. Tried all of the others on my work trucks since I was not paying for it and it's still the best all around tire I've found. I really like the new aggressive look of the sidewalls with the tried and true tread pattern.
