i spunned out about 3-4 times in less than a year and my tires look like the 1st one you showed.The 1st time i went full sideways leaving a stop light turning left, i was going maybe around 10mph and the ground was slightly wet from rain earlier in the day. One of the times, there was a puddle at a stop sign, i stopped and jokingly told the wife look were going to fishtail out so dont freak out, but i departed the stop sign maybe going 5mph as slow as i can, and no B.S. i fish tailed and of course the wife freaked out. I dont think i would get another set.
Great video. I have never had any issues with my KO2s and have been running them for years. I suspect that other than poor tyre condition, the people this occurs to are either in utes with no weight in the rear or are not (as you said) driving to the conditions and following suggested cornering speed signs.
I've done 85k so far on my Wildpeak LT, super grippy in wet and still okay. I'll have KO2 on the Raptor once it's delivered, bit worried it won't stick as well.
@@Fourby4Diesel I used bfg at for 15 years, decided to switch to general grabber at this last set because I was buying 5 instead of 4. I will never go back to bfg. Wet grip is awesome with grabbers,ride better, cheaper,deeper tread when new. And my bfg slipped bad twice on me for no reason, once while towing and descending on a highway with a stop light at bottom, the other in a sealed parking lot. Both times were very scary and could have caused a novice driver to have terrible results. Cya bfg, I'm never goin back.
@@earlmullet7628yea I have f150 alluminum. I’m thinking the same reason you said. I’ll say they don’t hydroplane puddles as it is tho just slid or slip on wet road sometimes with too much throttle
I just replaced my KO2's the other day. I didn't get 20k miles out of them and spent $1,440.00 on them. I had Falken AT3/w's put on the truck for $993.28 at a dealership. I'm also a guy that rotates and balances tires on time, I check pressure, change my oil on time, and maintain my trucks the way a guy should. So, the KO2's were very unimpressive and I won't be purchasing them again. I live in Northern Wyoming so there's rough terrain, but I don't drive like a carnival animal, I don't run tunes on my trucks. I keep everything as stock as I can because I have no interest in rolling coal. I haul an enclosed tool trailer that has new tires and suspension so it's not like I'm dragging it around all willy-nilly. The KO2's didn't treat me right and I'm refraining from using the language I use out in my shop. I'll never buy another BFG tire again.
When I bought my KO2's the guy told me his wife had them on her Shogun and she said they are slippery in the wet. I took note and was careful with my 70 series. I started pushing them when it was safe do so. Now I have total confidence in them and have to work really hard to get them to slip. Good advice about locking the centre diff when leaving the tarmac. This should be standard practice even for a gravel road. It will save your tyres, drive shafts and diffs.
People say the BFGs are poor in wet weather I have had 2 sets on my hilux, I have never had any issues with them on wet tar or dirt roads, I have driven over a lot of different conditions in southern Africa. So For me the reason I would get them again is I have confidence that they will last and in terms of milage and resistance to damage. As you stated in the video the people that have issues are possibly using tyres that are a bit older and the tread has hardend and has damage which like you say reduces their efficiency. Thanks for the thoughts, information and about how the tyres wear. 👍🏻🤠
Just purchased a replacement set of BFG KO2's 265/70R17 for my early 2015 Hilux for $419 each from Tempe Tyres in Sydney. Happy BFG customer for over 20 years. Last set lasted over 95,000 Km and still had about 3-4mm remaining. City driving and monthly dirt 4WD Camping trips around NSW Australia. Last set in 2018 cost $330 each
I plow snow in my K02 and I have used them all the way through, two sets. I love them. Rain or snow. These are some of my favorite tires, for that specific purpose, that is.
I have two of the same Hiluxes. The only difference on them are that the one has Bf Goodrich tyres and the other one has got Firestone destination. They are all new so that makes it the perfect test. They are both very good and are some of the only tyres that last in the Karoo here in South Africa. If I go to town and it is wet I will always go with the one with the Destinations because The Bf Goodrich does not grip. On the other side they are better in the field wet or dry. Sorry I lied. There is one more thing that is different. The one is black and the other one is white. Maybe I must swap the tyres and see what happens.
Respectfully to all the people who have commented nothing but praise for the ko2, they read along the lines of, "I had ko2s, loved them so bought another set". That's great to hear, but it sounds like they haven't tried another brand tyre? I used to run ko2s and km2s on both rangers and 79 dual cab. Had a fair few sketchy moments in the wet (from brand new) so thought I'd try something different. Swapped over to nitto Trail Grappler and oh my God, completely different tyre. They out preform the bfg in every way (price is same same). They have fantastic grip in dry, wet, offroad gravel, mud ect. I will never ever go back to a ko2. In fact we ordered a new Raptor and the first thing I'll be doing is taking off the ko2s and going another set of nittos in 35s.
We use 65, 70 and 75 series KO2 BFG 's on our farm vehicles, and the previous models also. We use them because weneed reliability, no dhow and shine. On wet highway runs, up Cunningham's gap etc to town, no dramas ever. If I want chipped tyres or flats, all the time, I will waste my money on Coopers or the other city wank show brands. BtW, if we get over 40K from a set, we're having a party.
My first time driving in rain on ko2s was also my first time driving in rain with a mech locker and I got full sideways trying to turn onto the freeway on ramp didn’t lose it but just about pissed my pants 🤣 the tires were used and were on the car when I got it. No idea how old they were but they were oooold and the roads hear in SoCal get super oily when it rains.
My KM3's are at 60000km and they have 9mm left on the tread. They are fantastic road tyres if you can l8ve with the noise. I bought them because of their resistance to screw punctures. I just bought 4 more to install in about 6 months. They c9st $550 each. I love them.
I have a set on my 1500 Ram with a Hemi and I live in Michigan,I drove to Pittsburgh University that’s about 380 miles a few times….One time it rained hard all the way and I didn’t have any problems driving at 75mph with AWD Auto on….I really haven’t had a real chance to see how they handle in the snow because it doesn’t snow that much in the South East on Michigan…Any tire will slip if you accelerate hard in the rain…
I’ve had lots of different tyres over the years and by far the best in the wet is the continental sport contact, outstanding. The catch is road only and cost prohibitive, made from unabtainium. But simply the best. Off road have a look at cooper at3 . Want more aggressive try Toyo R/T or M/T .
I put some Atturo Trail Blade M/T tires on a few years back on the Rangie. They still look pretty much new after 15k miles. The price was really what attracted me to them, but they have really surprised me.
I have BFG Ko2 (31x10.5r15)... they were slightly unstable on my hilux dualcab in the wet but since i have added a canopy and drawers in the rear and the extra weight has made them REALLY stable in the wet
my ko2s are practicly new (less then 12k all on road) and are very scary in the wet since day dot. allways understearing or spining wheels on the slightest slope at take off. maybe im just unlucky maybe i dont know what to exspect but will probbly never get again
Looks like the previous owner of those tires also drove on gravel roads without adjusting tire pressures appropriately. That makes a huge difference in to cut and chip on all tires.
The main issue is that people run the tyre pressure waaaaaaay to high for the weight of their vehicle. Between 28 and 32 works well on road for the Prado. That’s for a 275/70/17. Obviously it should be. 1 or 2 psi higher for 265/65,17.
Where I live in the US I have a little bit of everything in New Jersey mud sand clay extremely Rocky areas towards the Smoky mountains also quicksand in some areas these tires do amazing for going straight but as soon as you get into some deep mud it will go as far as you want but as soon as you turn left or right you're just going to keep on going straight these tires don't grip when it comes to turning everything else seems to be fine but my biggest thing with these tires is every time you try to turn in mud they just don't want to turn there's no grip on the sidewall doesn't have enough bite
I have not owned BFG KO2 but believe the surface tread is softer compound and they are excellent when new? Then harder compound exposed with more noise and less grip than new? My friend with 200 series loved them and no issues off road with traction or punctured… just expensive…. Have you tried the Dynapro MTs?? Heard good things…. I rate General Grabber X3 MTs (VHC and NSW tracks) but compound chops up if pressure not lowered off road…. Anyway good info as always… I’m overdue for a wheel alignment as well….
my boss had a set of these on his tundra, drove it across town to get parts and was all over the place in the slush, had to go real slow, an hour later i was off work driving down the same path i was with his truck in my silverado with duratracs and had wayyy more traction. mind you duratracs are way more agressive to tho
I believe the compound used in the development of an AT tyre is hard compound different than Highway tyre, I had the same issue, I moved back to HT and the difference was night and day, HT compound is softer, Thats why they wear more faster, but are grippier...The harder the compound the worse they card
Like most here mine have about 5-6,000 miles on them still look new and have been rotated but any kind of moist condition my Tacoma skids around I've had 3-4 sets and this is the only set I've had this problem I'm gonna find new brand for my next set
I have my 3rd set of Pro Comp All Terrain 315/70/17 on a JK run them at 28 psi so the tire runs on the entire tire not just the middle I don’t chop them up roading Rotate the 5 tires every 15 thousand miles and I replace at 100,000 miles they are not quite down to the wear pad drive light footed off road
My experience is a different to what you explain, I’ve got ko2’s in great condition. Wet road handling is ok but wet road braking the truck locks up so easily. Won’t be buying another set.
the "problem" I have found with KO's is the tread will outlast the life of rubber, rubber goes hard and cracks beofre the tires actually wear out. have had great luck with them in Canadian winters for years
Have you tried the Falken Wildpeak At3w? Should be cheaper than the K02's and most people say they are every bit as good or better with more grip on road.
Switched from bfg's to Mickey Thompson Baja boss all terrains best decision I've ever made best tires I've ever ridden on. I've owned Cleavers I've owned wild Peaks and I've owned bfgkos no comparison to the Baja Boss all terrain by Mickey Thompson
I think the General Grabber at2s were much better in mud and snow. And this is coming from someone that had a set of k02s. I have a Jeep Cherokee trailhawk 4x4 and I do alot of overlanding.
I like my ko2 s not great in the mud I get more of a reaction from the truck through puddles with them on the road than my street or studded snow tires ,feels like it wants to skate but maybe just the extra drag from the chunky tread
I’ve had 4x4’s all my driving life and my off road tire experience started from wranglers…the terrain I deal with is mostly pastures to lava rock roads…I’ve usually opted for mud grip..my experience with KO 2’s was very short lived unlike some of my freinds that was stuck on BFG’s …I’ve ran brigstone M/T’s and A/T’s up until they discontinued M/T it in the US then progressed to Toyo’s… 90% of my freinds that took my advice never looked back at BFG’s again because of the KO2’s..if you didn’t have a problem with them it’s all good but it’s only because the tire haven’t been pushed beyond it’s limits…isn’t a better tire …BETTER ?….
I'm seing water getting blocked instead of getting squished out to clear the treads of water. Water needs more of a strait path to evacuate the water between the treads. Your riding on trapped water pockets. I live in Washington State USA and it rains ALOT here. I have 38.5 Super Swamper Boggers and they are great in the rain.
I have no problems at speed going through deep puddles so I would have to disagree with this I have also driven on tires with not deep enough tread and aquaplane at speed so I know the difference from experience never had a problem aquaplaning with Bfg That thanks for sharing your opinion
Mud tyres will never have good grip on wet tarmac, ever.proper off road tyres on motorbikes are really bad. As you said people need to adjust their expectations. Also slicks are no good in mud or snow.
I think these tyres are slippery in the wet because the consumer gets no data on any tyres on the market. If you buy say a fullriver blah ah dc battery you get data you can work with to if you choose get the best out of your battery. I would love to see data on tyres ie. Weights temperature external and internal pressures, charts effects on internal construction outer construction side walls degredation of rubbers and guides on the wear of specific tread patterns effect in kn of the tread in various surfaces etc within the manufacturers recommendations . I assume that the manufacturer has this data in r&d and in the legal departments. I think atm buying a tyre of a tad like buying a skin ointment cream at your local hippie market. Hence why things are slippery when wet.
No shares they won’t even give me tires or a discount come and see me I’ll show you all the invoices Keep watching videos get to know me better and you’ll see my other video that says they’re a rip off and not to buy them because they were rip off see how your shares go in whatever you’re invested in and get yourself educated
@@Fourby4Diesel tight arses ay. I like your videos except for the ones where you bang on about ko2's. Better tyres out there. Im not educated but a coupla fella's that work for me are. cheers :)
Those tires suck. I had those on my 82 gmc lifted 40inch an they suck. Got some rain driving home only on the truck for like 2 weeks goin 25 an hit a puddle spun the truck into a ditch broke my front axle I went back to tsl.
As someone that's worked at a tire shop for a decade, I gota say these are entirely over rated and a huge rip off. I've seen better tires from motomaster.
Not they WILL be.... thoes are 💯 the worse tires ever had. 95 Bronco even a slight bit of wetness with tiredthat had 200 miles on them were B HOLE puckering sketchy braking let alone all around.
i spunned out about 3-4 times in less than a year and my tires look like the 1st one you showed.The 1st time i went full sideways leaving a stop light turning left, i was going maybe around 10mph and the ground was slightly wet from rain earlier in the day.

If people insist on wanting 80,000km from tyres then the manufacturer needs to make them too bl@@dy hard. Hard equals slippery when wet.
My 3 sets are soft
Not slippery when wet
One set almost 30,000k
Still looks like new
Not much wear
Can’t get more than 50k out of AT’s.
I have had over 10 sets, they have all gotten 110,000km safely, and never had them slip in the wet.

There are so many other tyres on the market that out perform BFG hands down. Most are NOT happy with BFG and move to a better product, me included.
I’ve had lots of different tyres over the years and by far the best in the wet is the continental sport contact, outstanding. The catch is road only and cost prohibitive, made from unabtainium. But simply the best. Off road have a look at cooper at3 . Want more aggressive try Toyo R/T or M/T .
I put some Atturo Trail Blade M/T tires on a few years back on the Rangie. They still look pretty much new after 15k miles. The price was really what attracted me to them, but they have really surprised me.

This is what I was thinking might store more tools in my truck
Problem is lot of people use old tyers, they say 7 years max but I say KO2 max 5 years then the rubber get hard.
my ko2s are practicly new (less then 12k all on road) and are very scary in the wet since day dot. allways understearing or spining wheels on the slightest slope at take off. maybe im just unlucky maybe i dont know what to exspect but will probbly never get again

My 2012 toyota tacoma came with ko2's and yes they are slippery when on the wet road, but I love the look of em on my truck 😎
I’m the same looks over practical. 😂
I run BFG A/T with Nitrogen, Great on Road, And Very Good on Beach Sand without Lowering Air Pressure.
I also rotate them every oil change.
Where I live in the US I have a little bit of everything in New Jersey mud sand clay extremely Rocky areas towards the Smoky mountains also quicksand in some areas these tires do amazing for going straight but as soon as you get into some deep mud it will go as far as you want but as soon as you turn left or right you're just going to keep on going straight these tires don't grip when it comes to turning everything else seems to be fine but my biggest thing with these tires is every time you try to turn in mud they just don't want to turn there's no grip on the sidewall doesn't have enough bite
Ive had 33/12.5 r15 ko2s and they were the best tires ive ever had (exept for mud) and never hydroplained
I love these tires on ice and snow . !
I ran ko2's on a shogun while doing a big restoration on my lada niva lol bloody slippery tyres 👍
The elephant in the room when it comes to wet grip with BFGs is the many different sidewall and tread compounds available.
Mine must all be the good compound from Thailand
@@Fourby4Diesel I've got the Thai 112S ones myself, plenty of grip in the wet.
I think the USA made tyres were better than the Thai ko2.
Rotate your tyres from front to rear every 10 000~15 000kms, keeps them flatter.
Lower the Air Pressure, on my Dodge Cummins Mega cab, I dropped pressure to 60 pounds, Handles rain much better than 70 or 80 pounds.
Psi is a major factor in traction
I have not owned BFG KO2 but believe the surface tread is softer compound and they are excellent when new? Then harder compound exposed with more noise and less grip than new? My friend with 200 series loved them and no issues off road with traction or punctured… just expensive…. Have you tried the Dynapro MTs?? Heard good things…. I rate General Grabber X3 MTs (VHC and NSW tracks) but compound chops up if pressure not lowered off road….

I work at a tire shop and from what I’ve seen I wouldn’t run k02s because of the ride quality mostly. They always come back for riding bad
Good tires, Its like they get harder over time in stead of wearing out. They last forever. But yes dangerously slippery in wet.
Once the go hard they go out the door don't care how many ks on them it's a fine balancing act of quite and safe tyres to getting maximum kms.
I have my 3rd set of Pro Comp All Terrain 315/70/17 on a JK run them at 28 psi so the tire runs on the entire tire not just the middle I don’t chop them up roading
Rotate the 5 tires every 15 thousand miles and I replace at 100,000 miles they are not quite down to the wear pad drive light footed off road
Good tires for the burnout pad at your local track.
My experience is a different to what you explain, I’ve got ko2’s in great condition. Wet road handling is ok but wet road braking the truck locks up so easily. Won’t be buying another set.
Cooper at3 for the win!
the "problem" I have found with KO's is the tread will outlast the life of rubber, rubber goes hard and cracks beofre the tires actually wear out. have had great luck with them in Canadian winters for years
Same here, my KO2s are 3 years old, tread still looks almost new but rubber on sidewall is starting to show cracks
Have you tried the Falken Wildpeak At3w? Should be cheaper than the K02's and most people say they are every bit as good or better with more grip on road.
I have them, went from coopers to the falkens, way better tyre, I drive on wet mountain roads every day and they hold up perfectly
They are quite nice in the snow, the wet and the mud. Gravel is a little iffy but that’s okay.
They're okay.. but they don't look nearly as good as the KO's
What do you mean the 70 series? Like 315/70R17 the aspect ratio? I’m new to this
I used to run Toyo open country MTs, but the BFG KO2s work better for me up here in Alaska where we have lots of snow.
Tire prices have gotten out of control! We need good t>res and at a cost that don't need a loan for.
Don’t buy them just keep driving though soon drop their prices

the center treads are too long , increasing contact Surface?
I’ve had 4x4’s all my driving life and my off road tire experience started from wranglers…the terrain I deal with is mostly pastures to lava rock roads…I’ve usually opted for mud grip..my experience with KO 2’s was very short lived unlike some of my freinds that was stuck on BFG’s …I’ve ran brigstone M/T’s and A/T’s up until they discontinued M/T it in the US then progressed to Toyo’s… 90% of my freinds that took my advice never looked back at BFG’s again because of the KO2’s..if you didn’t have a problem with them it’s all good but it’s only because the tire haven’t been pushed beyond it’s limits…isn’t a better tire …BETTER ?….
The best tire off-road is the ko2
Wild peak at3 are great on rain and everyone do say k02 doesn't like slippery wet road
Pirelli scorpion all terrain plus best bang for buck in my opinion
I'm seing water getting blocked instead of getting squished out to clear the treads of water. Water needs more of a strait path to evacuate the water between the treads. Your riding on trapped water pockets. I live in Washington State USA and it rains ALOT here. I have 38.5 Super Swamper Boggers and they are great in the rain.
I have no problems at speed going through deep puddles so I would have to disagree with this I have also driven on tires with not deep enough tread and aquaplane at speed so I know the difference from experience never had a problem aquaplaning with Bfg
That thanks for sharing your opinion
These were the worst tires I ever owned, but then again they were made in America.
In the snow they are frickin awesome, mud not so much.
Soooo tell me my good year duratrac wranglers that came stock on my trd pro rims are OK 👍
Need the rain channels. Don't buy KO2's, it'll save your life
Mud tyres will never have good grip on wet tarmac, ever.proper off road tyres on motorbikes are really bad. As you said people need to adjust their expectations. Also slicks are no good in mud or snow.
I think these tyres are slippery in the wet because the consumer gets no data on any tyres on the market. If you buy say a fullriver blah ah dc battery you get data you can work with to if you choose get the best out of your battery. I would love to see data on tyres ie. Weights temperature external and internal pressures, charts effects on internal construction outer construction side walls degredation of rubbers and guides on the wear of specific tread patterns effect in kn of the tread in various surfaces etc within the manufacturers recommendations . I assume that the manufacturer has this data in r&d and in the legal departments. I think atm buying a tyre of a tad like buying a skin ointment cream at your local hippie market. Hence why things are slippery when wet.
worst tyres for the wet black stuff. P.S - how are the shares performing :)
No shares they won’t even give me tires or a discount come and see me I’ll show you all the invoices
Keep watching videos get to know me better and you’ll see my other video that says they’re a rip off and not to buy them because they were rip off see how your shares go in whatever you’re invested in and get yourself educated
@@Fourby4Diesel tight arses ay. I like your videos except for the ones where you bang on about ko2's. Better tyres out there. Im not educated but a coupla fella's that work for me are. cheers :)
Not better for tracks & trips.
Just better for blacktop.
Depends what your priorities are.
What was a 200 dollar tire , is now 280 for a new k02 . USA hyper inflation .
it is only me who likes better the old pattern KO than this more recent KO2?
Lol u must like hearing your own voice 🤣
I liked the Kos better than the ko2s
Worst tires I have ever ran on my f350's, flats, blowouts , belt separation. Expensive and bloody disappointing .
Those tires suck. I had those on my 82 gmc lifted 40inch an they suck. Got some rain driving home only on the truck for like 2 weeks goin 25 an hit a puddle spun the truck into a ditch broke my front axle I went back to tsl.
Ten sets of BFG's and you still haven't learned to go for Maxxis. 🤦♂
Ko2’s are learner tires until you end up on copper st maxx’s permanently.
As long as you rotate them constantly, I've changed to falken wild peaks, I rate them higher than the Coopers
I have 3k miles on mine and they are awful in the rain
Damn Australians, cant understand half of what he says.
Bloody Australians unbelievable hey
Very disappointed in these tires poor wet snow traction even in four-wheel drive I won't purchase again
Got them on my xj. Just was in the rain today worked just fine. Wtf are you sponsored by Goodyear? Fake info
Those aren't to horrible in the snow though.
Mickey Thomson Baja boss at are the best tires now ko2 are ok
As someone that's worked at a tire shop for a decade, I gota say these are entirely over rated and a huge rip off. I've seen better tires from motomaster.
KO3’s are way!! Better
Have those been released?
🧽🔄🔁🏁
Not they WILL be.... thoes are 💯 the worse tires ever had. 95 Bronco even a slight bit of wetness with tiredthat had 200 miles on them were B HOLE puckering sketchy braking let alone all around.
BFG sucks
