The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 is the tire that defined the modern all-terrain category, and it remains one of the most proven choices for trucks and Jeeps that work off pavement. It is 3PMSF rated for severe snow service.
Its reputation rests on its structural integrity. The legendary toughness comes from CoreGard Technology, which uses split and bruise-resistant sidewall rubber derived from BFG's Baja racing tires. Internally, it features twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon and a 3-ply polyester cord sidewall construction. This is what lets it survive rock crawling, gravel roads, and jobsite abuse that cuts lighter tires open. Externally, a serrated shoulder design provides massive grip in mud, snow, and rocks, while interlocking tread blocks give it long, even life on the highway when rotated on schedule.
Two honest notes. First, noise: it is louder and firmer than a highway tire from day one, and it gets louder as it wears, particularly if rotations get skipped and the shoulders start to cup. Rotate every five thousand miles or sooner, keep the alignment in spec, and it stays civil. Second, wet braking is competent rather than class-leading, which is precisely the gap the newer KO3 was engineered to close. If you drive in heavy rain and snow constantly, look at the KO3. If you want the version with a decade-plus of proven internal durability behind it at a better price, the KO2 is still the answer, and it is still one of the most requested tires we sell.
Best-suited for: Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, Ford Bronco, Nissan Frontier, Jeep Gladiator.
