New BFG T/A KO2

[NickPic83]

Yeah I think the thicker side wall is adding weight which is a fair enough trade off

******' BFG.


Just bought the 37" KO's couple weeks ago because I was getting tired of waiting for these.

BFGoodrich Unveils New All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tire | Off-Road.com Blog

Why is Ford testing/demonstrating tire capabilities on a truck they are cancelling? And why would a Raptor driving school be involved when the last truck has already rolled off the assembly line. Oh wait....

The tread chunking is my biggest disappointment, by a wide margin, with the OEM tires. I am glad they are addressing it. I had crossed BFG off of my list of potential replacements, but I will be considering the KO2.

Kais, the 37 BFGs i put on, now have about 300 off road miles, from sand, dirt to rocky stuff, and i don't have any chunking, and as we have stated in the 37 BFG thread, the compound is harder. I highly recommend the 37s....oh, and I'm sure you do this already, but seems like a lot of guys don't, airing down to about 25 to 27 psi help extremely...kicks up less rocks and holds on to less rocks in the lugs.

Always disliked that tread pattern.

Yeah, but it works pretty well in snow/Winter.

25-28 psi is what I usually use off-road. I know the compound has a lot do with it as the the vast majority of the chunking issues I have heard of are with the Raptor (S compund) rather than the R compound (all of the guys with 37s, also available on on non-Raptor 35's and now in the new design in some form).

That being said, the new tread pattern looks to have better lug design, which should also help.

Ya not bad for all seasons, they do pack up with snow or mud, and pick up pebbles and chuck them at the body when you get up to speed.
It's such an old and outdated design.

Ah, good point. I assumed all sizes would have the same weather rating. Further research needed. The snowflake is one of the reasons that I went with Duratracs. I've destroyed 2 in 4 months, but GY honored their road hazard warranty.

I just sent BFG an email asking if the snowflake symbol is on all sizes, will update when I get a response.

Funny- tire was tested on Raptor yet when you go to "does this tire fit my vehicle" it says no. I know it's because of the 315 vs 35, but it would have been cool if they would have atleast recommended it as an alternative.

Thats because they were testing the raptor specific version of the KO2 which wont be released until the new raptor comes out.
