What is wrong with BFG All Terrain KO'S?
#21
i went mudding this weekend and had no problem what so ever with traction and there is almost no road noise just enough to know your running a/t's but as far as wet traction on roads i think they suck they spin out all the time and i also got in a wreck because of the tires i lost traction doing no more than normal driving and now i need a new bumper they work fine off road but for wet the are not that good

I run a very aggressive tire on my Dodge but have run the BFG AT's on my work truck for years. I agree that they do most things well. They work great for me in the sand, mild rocks and mild mud that i find on remote job sites. No isues on the road either averaging about a set a year at 40-50k miles a year. More than all of those things i like the puncture resistance. I have never...ever had a flat with a BFG AT. Maybe it's dumb luck, but i had two flats in the stock tires in the first year on the truck.
Even though they do wear a bit faster, i'll pay a bit more and have a quality tire that hasn't let me down so far. Tires are super important and BFG has been top of the line for a long time. One high speed blow out can kill you. I'm not mounting a set of generic small time tires and then crossing my fingers. I prefer to stick with what has worked for years.
That being said, if buying tires will break someones bank account...then you might have no choice but to cross your fingers. Every situation is different.
Good luck.

One thing I have found is with tires is spending huge money on them doesn't mean they will be any better than the other guys tires. I have had problems with big money tires before wearing out very fast and getting flats while the other guys tires lasted a lot longer with no problems.
But no I wouldn't buy $35 tires for a car or $50 tires for a truck. It really depends on how you will be using them and how hard you are on your truck/tires, driving style etc.
My Definity Dakota AT's have been great sofar and I have talked to others that have been running them and all of them love them. They are made by Cooper and are alittle more agressive than the BFG KO's but with a similar tread pattern.

I have the BFG A/T's on my truck. I'm not very impressed with them, They seem to hydroplane very easy and seem to ride on top of slush, making my winter time driving a very interesting time to say the least. Seems like the siping on the tires is the problem. All my driving is on road so I couldn't tell you about how they are off. If you have your heart set on that type of tire or tread pattern you might want to check out General Grabber A/T's. Same tread pattern, half the price and the reviews at Tirerack.com are very good for this tire.
