Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 vs BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 — Compared

“I like mine so much I'm on my second set. I got 55k out of my first set (could have got another 10k but started to get a little noisy). Exact tire you have (265/70-17 C load) on a 2018 4Runner.”

“No opinion here between the Yokohamas or Falkens (both of which I would definitely put on my Outback ) but in my experience the BFG KOs are way too much tire for the Outback . I put a set of 4 on my 2013 Outback and quickly discovered that other than looking great, and being virtually bulletproof, everything else about them is a downside. Rough ride, lot of road noise, lost about 2 mpg in fuel cost, and very heavy when I did my tire rotations, which BFG says you should do every 3,000 miles to prevent excess wear. Like they say about many things, the two happiest days in my 2013 Outback ’s life were the day I put the KO2s on, and the day, after about 10,000 miles, I replaced them with “regular” tires . Great tires for a heavier vehicle, but too much for the relatively light Outback . I’ve read many Outback owner’s reviews being very happy with the Wildpeaks AND Geolanders. Sounds like that person has an agenda.”

“I have a set of BFG KO2 as well in the size of 285/75/16 E rated. I agree with Matt (the Krazee) on all assessment except I have never had the tires spin but then again I never really try to (I run a 6.0 PSD with a PowerMax turbo and SRL tunes). What I wanted to add was the experience in snow. These tires are really good in the snow and behave as well as some snow tires I have had on other vehicles. In fact, they are so good I have never needed to activate 4WD. Last March I drove from VA Beach to CT during a storm where I encountered miles of freezing rain, rain snow mix, to full on snow blizzard towing a 24ft enclosed trailer. These tires performed much better than I could ever have imagined both on ice and deep snow. In fact, driving through NYC during the blizzard on unplowed 12+ inches, cars and 18-wheelers stuck everywhere, the Ex with tow in 2wd performed withou hesitation (even climbing uphill from standstill and through snow mounds). The roads were not plowed and at that time I decided these were the best tires I have ever had.”
