BFG KO2 tread wear

I know this can be subjective according to driving conditions but there are a lot of negative reviews on the tread wear/life of these tires (on TireRack and BFG's own site). Any 15K+ mile reviews in terms of treadlife? Thanks!

I loved mine.... they were quiet.

rotated every oil change. Aligned twice in the last 18 months and alignment checked in between....


And then they got LOUD in a short amount of time. I had about 30,000 miles on mine when they started to howl. I've had 2 sets of the older KO's, and they lasted much longer.

I won't be buying another set. Which is too bad, I loved how quiet they were initially

I have just over 30k on my KO2s and I would say I am at half life or a little over. With that said, I will be going to TOYO RTs next

I'd say I have about 25k on mine, give or take a few miles. I can't complain. They seem just fine to me. I have them rotated every oil change as mentioned above, plus at least one extra time...(dumb story). No complaints.

when you guys rotate your tires...what pattern are you doing?

1. front to back, back to front (crossed)

2. front to back, back to front.

in a trail edition. I'm thinking of rotating myself instead of waiting at the tire shop over an hour to rotate the tires lol.

I have 40k on my and its been good. Rotated 3 times so far.

the only people that love K02's are people that are curiously loyal to BFG. BFG's quality does not earn its unreasonably high prices on tires

that said, I'm eagerly awaiting the KM3

Just replaced mine at 40k with another set. No regrets. I could have gone another 10-20k maybe but I didn't like the wet weather performance at 40k. Great tires overall.

Do they only come on a C or E load rating only? I'm looking at D Load rating for the runner.

I couldn't justify the cost. I went with the Falken Wildpeak AT3 (2nd gen of the Wildpeak, I believe). They're snowflake rated and drive awesome on and off road. I'll probably be getting another set when these wear out. I've only had them for about 7-8k, so I can't comment on treadwear.

Not curiously loyal. BFGs are relatively cheap here.
Bought at Costco, they're among the cheapest option for tires for me.
I assumed they were still cheap in the US as well

I am at 20K miles with rotations every 5K and lots of wheeling. Tread looking about 60% still. Super quiet and they have been amazing in everything except for mud honestly.

Do those come in a C load rating? All I see on Discount Tire's website is E1 or SL, which I'm assuming is a no go, but I don't actually know how that translates (or doesn't) from passenger car to light truck rating.

Even in the E1 rating, they are so ridiculously cheap compared to the KO2 and Duratrac, but I would prefer no unnecessary additional weight if possible.

My ideal tire size is 275/70/17 but there are not a lot of choices other than BFG. Seems like most manufacturers make a 265/70/17 but only a few make a 275 AT tire. For me, 265 is too small and 285 is too big. As long as most are getting at least 45-50K miles out of the KO2s, that's acceptable but they are pricey!

I'm at 30k on mine and my dealership just told me I still have 80% tread left, which seemed like a stretch but who knows. Still quiet on highway, wet weather is ok, offroad is still great. That said I'm going to try treadwrights next, I love the KO2's but they are pricey.

Their prices are dumb. I snagged a set after i talked them (discount tire) down to 1k OTD for a set of 285/70R17s. Idk if thats good or not but it was at 1300 so it felt good
