Do not buy these tire! Do your homework.They are junk.
I bought four in 2019. There were serviced/rotated in 2021. Tires have less than 40,000 miles on them. Two of them have major cracks on the sidewall. I have been given every excuse possible by several service centers. "Torque fracture from too much power". I drive a truck, not a Tesla. "Cracks happen when you carry too much weight". This is not a work truck -- I use it for camping and take public transportation to work. "You didn't rotate the tires enough - that caused the cracks". Did I mention the tires have less than 40K on them and are not even four years old? "You need an alignment" This wasn't mentioned to me when I brought them in for my last rotation. One tire disintegrated on the highway and cost me $400 in towing. I cannot get any dealer or Michelin to stand by its product other than offer a $50 credit towards four new ties. Do not buy Ko2's, find a company that stands by its product. "Improved stronger sidewalls, 50K warrantee" Don't believe the marketing hype.
wnoble, I see that you have written to us previously. We will be in touch, our goal is to work with you and your retailer in getting this issue resolved.

They are a tough tire and no flats
I just finished a 13,000 mile trip from the middle of Alaska to the southern tip of texas with many side trips in between and the tires worked great my pickup has a camper on it so the tires were loaded. I just bought another set of K02's to head back to Alaska. Up in Alaska my son needed new tires and guess what I bought another set of K02's for his F150.
Absolute garbage
These use to he the best. Now their junk! Too much plastic being used to make them. They dry rot, crack and split within 3 years of purchase.
Jay, we're sorry to read that you are disappointed with your KO2's. A member of our team will be in touch to get more information and help with a solution.

Dangerous Blowout and Inaqequate Warranty Response
Driver-side front tire blew out at 18k miles going 40 mph on a downhill curve. Despite BFG's history of cracked tires and blowouts, Discount Tire blamed it on mystery "road hazard" after warranty evaluation. I could accept that, if I actually hit a road hazard , but I did not ever encounter any of the items that they suggested could have caused such significant damage to what is supposed to be one of the beefiest tires on the market. BFG staff was friendly, but did not call back when they said they would and did not offer any explanation of they warranty evaluation performed by Discount Tire. Given the history of cracked Ko2s, I would expect BFG to stand behind their product. Instead, I'm getting a measly $82 credit.

Side Wall Cracks
Bought these tires 2 years ago, the tread wear is great. The sidewalls have started cracking on 3 out of the four tires purchased. One of the tires has extremely large cracks beginning in the tread area extending down onto the side walls. Looked on YouTube appears I am not the only person that has had this same issue with this same tire purchased from this same time period. Looks like the rubber gets incredibly dry for no reason and deteriorates in just a year or so. VERY Expensive tires to have sidewalls that go bad and risk the lives and safety of the persons operating the vehicle and others traveling on the same roads. Serious safety issue with tires such as these being sold to all over the United States.
Not Pleased, the first step in the warranty process is to have the tires inspected by an authorized BFGoodrich retailer (preferably the selling dealer). Please have the dealer call us while you are there so that we can get their inspection findings and see how to proceed.

Terrible
I’ve had these tires for 11 months. Drove approximately 10,000 miles with them. Most of my driving is state road, city and highway. I’ve never had them off road but would not recommend even driving on a flat dirt road. I had a ROCK puncture these tires just driving on a state road. Since my Ko2 went flat from this rock overnight I filled it back up and took it to my garage. This is where I write my review since I can’t get ahold of anyone living at bf Goodrich to discuss my issue. I’ll go out on a limb and say this isn’t going to be covered under warranty since it’s a puncture. Even if it is, what a hassle…. Tires are made everyday. There are lots of options. Don’t bother with these tires unless your roads are made of cotton balls.
Mark74, sorry to read of a problem. We want to help. Give us a call at 866-866-6605 for assistance.

Beware these tires
Horrible tires this time around. 25,000 miles and need to purchase new ones. When the retailer said there is a 50,000 mile pro rated warranty and offer to take $400 off a total of $1900. Come on man.
Not happy, sorry your tires need to be replaced at 25k. A member of our team will be in touch to work with you and your retailer on initiating a warranty claim.

Junk
Purchased a set of 285/75r16s new on 1/22/21 for $851 had 194253 miles on the truck when installed and currently have 212k on the truck now. Noticed cracking on the inside front passenger tire when doing a oil change a few weeks back and both rear tires are almost bald. Took them to the store I purchased them from and was told I was only going to get around $250 back for a new set if I go through with the warranty, a new set for the exact same tire is now $1200+ before installation. For a tire that’s rated for 50,000 miles they definitely don’t hold up at all and do not recommend
Austin, we understand your frustration. A member of our team will be in touch to work with you and the retailer in resolving this matter.

Won’t balance!
Impossible to balance. I’ve had these tires since November and have had them “balanced” seven times at three different tire shops. Even gave balance beads a go. Every time I’m told they are balanced yet the vibration continues. Put them back on the machine and am told the balance was off, but should be good now. Nope, more vibration and ride like crap. Even had them road forced balanced with no luck. Last set road great for several years, this set rides horrible. Especially for the price, over $2500!
Performs and delivers
Just got back from Yosemite, with rain and snow on Christmas Eve. Comfortable drive on wet road, on ice, on 5 inches of fresh snow. Couldn't be happier with the performance
