I've had Nitto Extreme Grapples before, and while they look great, I don't want that kind of road noise... (Were on the truck when I bought it)

I now have the standard Goodyear tires that came on my current truck, and I want to get A/T Tires. I've always liked the standard BF KO A/T Tire, but their website says they don't fit my wheels. 275/55R/20

The new version, KO2, has some that fit I think, but don't know as much about them.

If you've ever had BF A/T Tires, please let me hear your thoughts, especially if you have the new KO2's.

TIA

I had the BFG AT tires on a new vehicle that I bought a few years ago, they lasted a long time, but they were a very noisy tire.

KO


KO2


ETA: They look to have similar tread, but the sidewalls are a little different. I like the old look better.

Any other A/T's that the OTB would recommend?

I like the KO.

I have Toyo Open Country AT right now, but would've went with BFG if I didn't have a 20" wheel.. They're quiet but it's early to tell much more.

I got those when I replaced the Extreme Graps on my 2008. They are pretty non-aggressive, which was the opposite I was looking for after I install the leveling kit.

I have KOs on my truck right now and love them. Handle mud great and are reasonably quiet on the road. Never been stuck with them. Then again... I do drive a Ford.

I've had the pre-KO models, and they were great. I now buy General Grabber AT2's. Similar tread pattern, last just as long, cost 2/3's as much as BFG A/T's.

I had those in college on my Yukon. Completely forgot about them. Might have to check them out again.

AT2 - Size not available.

That can only pose more problems.

I have the KO and really like them.

Have about 45000 on them and still plenty of tread.

Not very loud (not like the coop mud tires on my nissan that I hunt out of)

I think they are made here in Tuscaloosa.

Have you looked at them lately? The Toyo AT Open Country I just bought look slightly more aggresive than the BFG KO.. IMO

I couldn't find a KO2 that equated to a 35 on a 20" at the time, but I wanted to. Probably saved 400$ by not finding them though.

frick, man. I have been looking for one of these. I just want one because I still love the 2 door Tahoe, and it wouldn't be bad to drive back and forth to work to keep the miles off my new truck.

That's why I got one. It also keeps scratches off of the new truck when I head to the woods. Every once in a while you'll find them on AutoTrader or Craigslist in good shape with low miles. I get random offers on mine all of the time.
