I bought KO2s because of the hype, 2 sets of them actually. And found them to be very mediocre in anything but dry dirt/rock. They have worn very well but on and offroad performance hasn't blown my hair back.

I run BFG now but will switch to Yokohama next time just for variety and price. Have had no complaints with the KO2- I just want to try something different.
They’ve always been great tires, wear well and have strong sidewalls, but they do sometimes not work great in wet conditions at slow speeds. For instance if you’re leaving a stop light you can easily break them loose. But at speed they have never failed me.
I worked in tire shops for many years and installed many sets of BFG all terrain K02. I used to cringe when I saw these tires on the work order. They are very heavy tires to handle and that weight doesn't help with mounting and balancing. Every time I installed a set of these, there would always be 1 or 2 tires that would ask for an obscene amount of weight when trying to balance. Sometimes as much as 10 ounces on a perfect rim. We would try to promatch them but sometimes they would still want 5-6 ounces. Sometimes we would peel the tire off and try another one from stock if we had more. If we had no other stock, we would slap the weight to it and hope the customer didn't come back with a vibration. Also, everyone I've ever talked to who had these said they turn hard as a rock when they are cold and are terrible on ice.
I've never liked them. Bought one set during a rain storm, literally spun out into the median in front of a Buffalo wild wings while pulling out of discount tire.
They are good tires. They are also completely over-rated, and over-priced.
Bfg’s have been the best tires to me. They last for eternity, have always had enough grip for tearing up NW Washington trails that are wet and slick as shit, literally mostly roots, mud, and slick wet rocks. Never noticed poor on road performance, but you got guys expecting pirelli performance on their dodge 1500’s which is dumb. Only complaint i have is when i air down, they pop off the bead. One weird thing ive noticed, is theyll get to about 20% tread depth, and then stay there for the next 10 years. Its like thats as much as theyll ware.
I haven’t had any issues. And they’re the best looking AT imo. That’s part of the reason I got them.
They're on the more moderate side of AT but have been identical from a noise and fuel efficiency perspective to my previous road tire. BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain TA
But, it is MUCH smoother, still probably best off road of these on/road biased A/T tires. But, compared to Continental, lacks on road performance.
