Tire upgrade

Planning on taking the TT to northern South Carolina in Jan. Decided to upgrade the rear tires on my 2017 F250 2wd in case of light snow, and if not can't hurt with traction in grass or mud with all the rain we get in this area of TX. Went with the BFG AT KO2. Any on else running this tire and can let me know how they work for you or how long they last.

    Wouldn't this be the sort of question asked "BEFORE" purchasing the tires???



    I'll help him out, to the OP everyone has different results on the same tire, but the BFG's are a great tire, and many run them, I too have run a couple sets. IMO they last about long as the average AT tire, traction is on par with any other AT tire I have had, Toyo ,Michelin , and Firestone.
  • I had them on my 2010 Tundra. Granted the truck was a lot lighter than your F250, the tires were fantastic. Lasted until I traded my Tundra with a little over 60K miles and there was still tread left. Load range E provided a very stiff sidewall that was fantastic for towing. Aggressive tread gave me good traction in snow, light mud and wet grass. Tread was still pretty quiet on the highway and gave me great highway traction as well.

    I was very impressed with the tire and had no complaints at all! Again... my truck weighed a good amount less than yours, so your tire longevity will probably not be as good as mine was. Still... 60K miles and still had tread left. That made me quite happy!

  • Running the same tire on my Tundra. For the first 50 miles or so when I was towing they felt squirrely and I thought I had made a mistake. After they got scrubbed in I was happy with them. I only have around 10,000 miles on them but they look like new. The only thing I have found with them that I don't like is when in clay the tread tends to load up and traction becomes very poor. All and all I would buy them again.
  • Stiffer sidewalls reduce sway! And check load ratings.
