BFGoodrich Mud Terrain TA KM2

After having a set of KO and KO2s I was really excited for the Daddy of BFGs off-road range. They are better off-road, no doubt. I also got a slightly taller and wider tyre which helpful off-road also. The dry weather performance was excellent, the comfort was excellent. When they wore they did develop quite a loud hum on tarmac.

But they were always diabolical in the wet, driving up a twisty mountain road resulted in languid oversteer at incredibly low speeds with very light throttle inputs. Outrageously fun but I was genuinely concerned to let anyone drive the car because it was so unsafe.

Then we went on a trip up Cape York with two other vehicles, one fitted with BFG KO2s and one with Maxxis RAZR AT811s. The Maxxis got up a muddy creek (Gunshot Creek) exit the BFG could not, lot’s of confounding factors but I felt the Maxxis AT outperformed the BFG MT in the mud. The KO2 was a very good tyre also, but not as capable in the mud as either the MT or the Maxxis. I now run Maxxis RAZR ATs and they are brilliant, safe in the wet, quiet, comfortable, and they throw mud like no one’s business.

These are not appropriate tyres for any use case other than 100% off-road.

I've been driving 4x4's now for over 25 years (about 2 million K's) and usually ONLY use BFG's as here in OZ,
If your Tyre fails you, you may die out there...
Something to think about?
I had these on my FULLY MODIFIED GQ Nissan Patrol LWB 4.2 turbo D Man.
This was a brilliantly set up 4x4. So much so it was on the cover and the main story in 4Wheel Drive Action Magazine here in Australia.
I put my life in the capability of the BFG's on many occasions without a second thought as these things are just so dependable.
For a "MUD" tyre on the road the dry grip is fine but let that surface get wet at all and you now have a challenge to keep your correct line into or out of any corner and your breaking distance needs to at least double.
Off road... NOTHING comes close to these almost bullet proof boots however wet rock walls are a challenge.

I got about 90,000Klm out of one set and did 50,000klm on the second set at a bit over half worn before selling the truck to a Darwin resident.
Some of these miles were around town, open country dirt/rocky tracks and many 4 wheel drive parks just to challenge her.
The biggest issue with these BFG's is you need a good tyre guy that knows how to balance them up and rotate and wheel align often.

Would I buy these again. ABSOLUTELY! nothing on the market still today comes close.

Have a nice Day!
