BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 vs General Grabber A/TX — Compared

“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)”

“BFG KO2 - 50k miles, some cracking between tread, slightly uneven wear. Time to replace? BFGoodrich KO2s on a 2021 F150 FX4 max tow. From what I can tell, these were the original tires and have just under 50k miles. Tread depth is technically OK based on the wear indicator. They show some cracking between treads, which may or may not be a problem based on the many threads and opinions here 😅 Bigger problem may be uneven wear. It looks like the original owner missed some regular rotations, and two of the tires (front when I bought the truck) were visibly more rounded than the rear. After 25k of regular 5k rotations it is maybe a little more even but still noticeable. They’re noisy - no surprise with with KO2s - and gas mileage isn’t great. I do tow occasionally - small travel trailer, 6x12 utility trailer, and rarely a pontoon. Time to replace? Or can I make it through another MN winter and replace next year?”

“Thanks Coldcase, you always come through. Im thinking of going for the General Grabber A/Tx, 1 vehicle from the link you posted is using them and even a bigger size at 285 without any issue, difference is they have the altitude package instead of Overland. Do you think ill be fine?”

Rob I like them a lot. I have about 12000 miles on them. They have a little noise, but not bad if that is a factor for you. I am running them at 38 psi and the ride is a little softer. If I had one complaint, I run a lot of gravel roads and rocks will stick in the tread. When I get up to highway speed the rocks come out and come out hard. I have factory rims so my tires don't stick out beyond the fenders except a tiny bit. I have a couple nice rock chips on the side of my truck from that.”

“I've got just over 10,000 miles on my General Grabber A/Tx's and I love them. For the terrain I cover, they are great. If you're looking for a mud tire, these aren't going to clean out very well (probably similar to an average A/T like a BFG KO2). But in the deep snow and ice, they've been great. They are also amazingly quiet on the highway, and on loose dirt/gravel they have done really well. I don't have enough miles to tell you how long they will last, but going off how they are wearing right now, I'm optimistic I can get 40,000 miles out of them (I rotate my tires every 4,000 miles).”
