    Finally someone demonstrating a tyre rather than just gas bagging about it. Although only found this video now (4 years after you posted it), still a good account of this tyre.

      This awesome FJ needs some LED bulbs to make it look hotter and more expensive, and most important to see roads way better in the night, only about 20-30$ for 4 on eBay.

    Enjoyed the video. One suggestion, there's no need to use a D link on the the tree saver. It's just one more thing that could fly if something broke. Just put your winch hook through the two loops in the tree saver.

    Great video, i had a set of all terrain ta and when i wore them down i got the KO2. I love them and since I'm in the snow a lot they are excellent for winter traction. I'm running 285/65/17 on my FJ and its a beast with most of what I've thrown at it. Cheers

    Awesome video ... super funny at the end. Yeah I took my 4Runner Trail edition for Off-Road first time. Got stuck in a big water mud hole because of stock tires. Thanks goodness I had Craw Control, ATrac, 4-Low, and Rear Diff Lock got me out of muddy situation. Yeah I totally scape and dented the skid plate but thank goodness I had it to protect the 4runner but it is a sore eye looking at the skid plate. I am researching BFG KO2 tires.... how is it on paved road ? noisy ? gas mileage ? Is the tires reliable ? Any flats ?

    just checking out fj videos and trying to determine if they are what I want more than a jk. I have a 2013 Avalon which is a great cruising car with good mpg. Just want to get something to go off road. Looking at the 2016 GMC Canyon diesel which gets good mpg, tows heavy stuff, probably a decent road sled but a bit low for off road. Anyway, thanks for the videos. I like Toy reliability vs what I read about Mopar but the Wrangler is easier to use in the rocks and build a dedicated crawler. Bla Bla Bla.

    Scott, what size KO2's do you have on your FJ in this video? I ask because I have a 2012 FJ with a 3" lift/leveling kit and want to change my tire size from 265 70 R17 up to a 285 70 R17 but would like to NOT do the body mount chop. I see you have the Trail Teams version - very nice, and I like the color too.

    Ran BFG for many years, all pitted and the MT always cupped, and even ripped of a chunk going up 20' rock slope, starting with my FJ ran Nitto MT, Dune, now Trail with out a doubt last longer and ride better. Even BFG own truck that ran Baja had pitted tires.

    i have the same size tires (285/75R16) but the previous KOs though it looks like your wheels stick out more than mine. do you have spacers or something? were there any other tires you were considering before buying these? I need to replace my tires in the near future but Idk where to look to and what size. i do want my wheels to stick out a little more since I want to consider bushwacker fender flares. Any advice would help from a fellow fj owner
