FAQs

How many miles can you get on BFGoodrich KO2? ›

50,000 mile manufacturer's treadwear limited warranty across all replacement sizes. Locking 3-D Sipes provide increased tread block stability, for more even wear over the long haul.

During rotation, each tire and wheel is removed from your vehicle and moved to a different position to ensure that all tires wear evenly and last longer. Tires should be rotated every six months or 10,000 to 12,000 kilometres.

Specifications. 50.000 miles tread depth warranty. What does 'Up to 99 mph' really mean? Tires with a Q speed rating can safely sustain speeds of up to 99 miles per hour.

If you are running E-rated, doing the conversion from factory tires and recommended psi, you should be running 37 psi.

The KO2's are a much better tire overall, but any “aggressive” all terrain isn't going to last as long as your standard street tire. 30k miles is kinda low for the KO2's though. Most people will get at least get 40-50k out of them before needing replacement.

The straightforward answer is “it depends.” A normal set of tires should last for 60,000 to 75,000 miles, or about four to five years. But there are a few key factors that will affect your tires' lifespan.

Tires on the front and rear axles perform very different tasks, and rotating tires every 3,000-5,000 miles (or more frequently for tires with aggressive, all-terrain or off-road-focused patterns) allows each tire to spend time at each wheel position on the vehicle.

Of course, these tires lacked that fine grip that only true winter tires can achieve when it's very cold, but overall, the set of K02s certainly impressed me for its general winter behavior, its neutrality and that "grip", courtesy of the K02's studs.

As Stumblinhorse said, the K02s (and Duratracs) are good but not snow tires. I drive 20-30 days a year in the snow in my JKUR, and have been pleased enough with both the KO2s and the previous Duratracs to have not purchased snow tires for the JKUR. I have, on several occasions, put chains on though.

What year did the BFG KO2 come out? ›

The KO2 launches Nov. 1 in 12 sizes as well as plus fitments. Additional sizes will be introduced in 2015.

Founded by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich in 1870, the B.F. Goodrich Company, later known as BFGoodrich, was among the first rubber tire manufacturers to be located west of the Appalachian mountain range. In the previous year, Goodrich had purchased the Hudson River Rubber Company.

The KO2's rugged design and tough exterior also give good braking on snow, ice and in cold weather, with reliable performance in all winter conditions.

I have the BFG AT/KO's in stock tire size and run them at 40 psi for highway driving and 25 psi for off-road... I have noticed that heat does indeed increased psi in the tire so I check mine regularly... Be the kind of person your dog thinks you are. run them at 32-35 psi on the highway unless your towing.

"The tread-wear warranty would suggest they would last 80,000 miles and typically might just last 40 or 45," said Niedermeyer. Consumer Reports tested the tread life of 47 tires - two samples of each. A convoy of trucks drove each tire 16,000 miles.

The rule of thumb is to buy new tires for car every 6 years, after every 40,000 miles, or when the tire is damaged beyond repair. The operable age of any tire can be shorter or longer, depending on your driving style, climate, and tire maintenance provided.

Following the purchase of a car, it's inevitable that you'll eventually need to replace your Original Equipment tires (otherwise known as OEM tires or OE tires). Sometimes, these original tires will last about 50,000 miles. More often, they'll begin to show considerable wear after 20,000 to 30,000 miles.

Tire markings include a number for treadwear, but for consumers, it's more helpful to look at the manufacturer's advertised mileage estimate to know the tire's life expectancy.
