“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.”

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community opinions on the BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 are deeply divided. Many users praise its legendary sidewall durability, aggressive look, longevity, and decent performance in sand, dry trails, and light snow. However, a significant portion of owners report poor traction in wet conditions or hard-packed ice, balancing issues, noise over time, and a tendency to form sidewall cracks as they age.
“I had Ko2s and the ride sucked and super loud. Switched to nitto recon grapplers and theyre amazing”
“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)”
“2019 zr2 Duratracs were a good tire. Only complaint was the last 10k of their life they got LOUD on the pavement. Good in snow, good on trails. Went to KO2s when it was time for new shoes. Like the stronger side walls and rating, better traction in hard dirt, no real difference in loose rocks or winter to me. Definitely harsher ride w the stiffer sidewalls. I have the ZR2 now as a 2nd rig (finally) so it doesn’t get daily miles. I’d purchase the KO2s again. Daily driver? Duratracs are better, but that horrid drone the last 10k of life would be enough for me to pass on them. 🍻”

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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
