Tire A
Positive
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2
Community sentiment toward the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 is largely positive, with drivers frequently praising its aggressive styling, tough sidewalls, off-road durability, and solid general performance. Many owners report capable handling in snow, though several emphasize that it cannot replace a dedicated winter tire and can struggle on ice or packed snow. Criticisms center on high pricing, added weight hurting fuel economy, mud packing, occasional tread chunking, and difficulties with balancing causing highway vibrations.

“Yes, totally fine to run them on the stock 5.5" wide wheels, no rubbing and they're a good option for an upgrade while minimising drawbacks. I ran exactly that size KO2 for ~50,000 km, ended up selling them onto someone else and swapped to different wheels and tyres just for something different.”

“I drove to the Deadhorse, Alaska (as far north as you can drive in America). The Dalton highway is a notorious 400 mile gravel road start just north of Fairbanks. Lots of people bring 2 spares. I had 0 flats. KO2 eat snow and sand for breakfast. They definitely improve my Q5 and allow me to hang with proper off-roaders (at least for a little while)”

“I run Hakkapeliittas in the winter (UP of Michigan, 300"+ of snow per year) but I ran my KO2s last winter and they performed surprisingly well. They do struggle in ice and burnished snowpack, especially under 15F in my experience and since they have no siping they don't clear as well as snow tires. If it's KO2s vs. All Seasons I'd go with the KO2s, just know they still don't beat proper snow tires.”

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
