BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO

[bendyprissy]

Has anyone had these? How did you like them? How did they perform on/off-road? Were they worth it? Would you recommend them?

I would go with the Duratracs from Goodyear personally. I just took a set of BFG KOs off my other truck. Only lasted 30k of usable tread and were OK on road. So far the Duratracs I know have on the truck grip way better on and off road

or Kelly TSR from Goodyear. Much more open tread, quiet and ride good

The BFG's in my experience last longer than any off road tire out there. They are great on slick rock , They are not noisy on the road. They are also not the best in mud, The tread pattern is too tight to work well in mud.

BFG AT-KO's are the best all terrain out there, IMO. They last forever, they're really quiet, and they're fairly priced. Traction in rain and snow is fantastic. Mud & sand...not so good. Everything is a compromise.

If you're more into off-roading...you might consider bumping up to the BFG MT-KM2. These are more aggressive and louder on the highway but, the traction in the mud is very good. Big teeth on the sides. They grip like mad and love to be aired down to 18psi or so...no beadlocks needed. They aren't quite as good in the rain or snow as the ATs. Everything is a compromise.

My BFG A/Ts lasted a long time but I have to differ a bit with Green1. I felt that about halfway through their lifecycle they lost a lot of grip on the slickrock, perhaps due to a harder compound midway through the rubber, or maybe just from weathering with sun and rain.

I would definitely buy them for an on road tire and for light forest trails. Definitely not good in mud. I much prefer the KM2s.

I'm running TA K/O's. No complaints. I slip around a bit in sandy loose rock places but airing down more will help that I think.

I have had several sets of BFG Ta tires. I think they are a great all around tire. I got close to 50K miles out of a set, they were quiet, did well in all situations on and off road. I did not do mud in them though. Usually they are cheaper than lots of other tires. There are probably better tires for every situation but the TAsare a good all around tire. I prefer the BFG KM2 or the Goodyear Kevlar MTRS both they Re both a more aggressive tread and the ride and noise levels suffer a little compared to the TAs.

Julie tires are one of those personal preference items. Some people swear by some tires and other people swear at them. Some are better for mud and some are better for rock. The TA is a tire the is good at a lot but probably not great at anything. For someone that is going to spend most of their time on pavement and get off road and play only occasionally it is a good compromise.

If your looking for an all around decent tire at a great price try the Hankook DynaPro ATm's. That is what I chose for Happy Hummer after hours of exhaustive reading/research. They have a MT style also that has gotten awesome reviews. They are comparable in life cycle length to the BFG TAKO with a softer sidewall.
The are super quite and have excellent road manners.

I have a set on right now, have about 55k on them, there the 315/75/16s and with the tread it looks like ill have about 30-40k more on them

I had the BFG AT's until last week. I can't justify mud terrains for my 4-5 offroad trips per year. Got 50k and probably could have pushed them for 5-10k more, but snow traction was starting to suffer. I agree with the others; they are a great all around, long lasting tire that is weak in the mud. "Everything is a compromise."

Another to consider the Cooper ST Maxx. I just put these on and expect slightly better performance in mud, but road characteristics of an all terrain. These are also very quiet so far.

 

[telemike]

I almost got the Coopers, good choice.

If the Goodrich A/T' KO's are the type of tire you are looking for, also take a look at the original ProComp AT's. 50k mile treadwear rating, severe weather rated, and you can often get them for buy 3 get one free at 4wheelParts with free shipping. I've run both for long term use and the ProComps are less money than the Goodrich and perfrom as good or better in rain, snow, and ice.
