Great tire, updated twice since I had them. Really good off road, quite a hard compound on road. Absolutely a great choice back in the day.
Now I run Maxxis RAZR AT811, but wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a KO3.

Abysmal.
It says all terrain, it is around town only. I got two slow leaks in 15,000kms, fortunately we were left stranded. On an Australian delivered 4WD vehicle it is totally unacceptable to fit a tyre that can leave you stranded. They will puncture, not they may puncture, they will. As such I can’t understand how in good conscience they can be sold in our market. If you have this tyre you should immediately change to something else. If you can’t afford to, buy a PLB/EPIRB.
On road performance was acceptable, off road performance was mediocre as best. Anything soft is a real challenge for this tyre.
Spend the money and buy something decent, BFG KO3 is safe recommendation, Maxxis RAZR AT is my favourite tyre for an Australian use case.

Great tyre, leagues ahead of the OEM figment tyre on the ute. Didn’t compromise NVH, didn’t compromise wet grip, massively better off-road.
In soft sand it sat a little lower, there was slightly more resistance but you are able to apply power much more effectively and so you can drive through the resistance much more easily.
No flats! I had two flats in 15,000kms on the stock tyres (off-road across/ around Australia trip) and never had a flat since.
Moved to the Maxxis RAZR AT811 which is a little better in mud, but cannot go wrong with a BFG AT KO2!

Outstanding all terrain tyre. Good road performance, with good grip in wet or dry, acceptably quiet under all conditions and excellent in snow. Superb performance off road regardless of surface. They've done 65k miles on (70%) and off (30%) road so far and are only 2/3 worn. Would highly recommend and will definately be buying another set.
