Great review and thank you! It’s been hard to find the perfect review, for me it was the sand part and it got me sold to get these. Thank you again and you got me as a subscriber.
I have these on my WK2 for the past two years. I have never had any issues. Going to put them on my sierra 1500 once it’s time for new tires. Currently rolling on Duratrac and need a more road biased tire with decent off road capability.
Look at that little guy flex at 3:18, that's awesome! Funny you mention the wildpeaks, I'm looking for some AT tires for my half-ton and considered these BFG's over the reg KO2's because I want to keep away from stepping up to an E-rated tire and the wildpeaks were my thought in between these and the KO's. 90% of my driving will be on-road, but like you I'm in a climate that actually has weather so I need it to work in all seasons. Would also like to not have to turn 4wd on if I get on wet grass though like the stock little highway tires.
Thank you for the info. I bought these for this winter and it ended up being about tied for the least snowiest winter of my life here in PA. I had one 3" snowfall that I got to test them in, and it was only on my hilltop (was wet at the bottom) so I got to test them for literally 1 mile lol. In that 1 mile, they did seem to grip better than the all seasons I used to have, but the experience was, limited.....
Specifically what I was looking for, man , you rock This review is unbelievable and is the best review about a brand of tires I have ever watched . Now, because of you, I'll be able to get myself a set of these tires .
@@TimmyCramer right on man, I went ahead and got some as well. Love the way they look. I haven’t had them off-road yet but on road they seem to be doing decent
Stumbled upon your video looking up these tires and I'm glad I did. Great video! I thought I recognized some of the areas you were in and then you mentioned you were oregon lol
this review gave me the confidence to take the leap on these, finding the right tire for my Cherokee XJ has been a nightmare of going down rabbit holes on the internet... , thanks for the video.
I have a set of these on my 18 Silverado 1500 and I really like them. I've had them for about a year now, and I'm very happy with them. Treadwear is great, noise is great, and traction is great.
Thank you for the video! I enjoyed it. I have these tires on my Ram truck, and I have really enjoyed these tires. I agree they have been great on dry roads, wet roads, gravel, and fairly well in mud. I really have not tested them in snow, as we very rarely get snow here.
I put these on my ran 1500 and live up in Canada. These tires work very well in the snow. I have 30,000 km on them now and the tire wear is nice. I don’t tow anything with this truck but I find them soft and under hard acceleration’s you can hear the rubber grabbing the road. If you tow I would not recommend these tires but for everything else yes.
Sweet ride! I have seen multiple reviewers complain about the wet pavement performance due to the lack of siping in the tire's shoulder area. So water cannot escape from the main channels... leaning to the Wildpeak Trail for this reason alone.
Actually you did just about the same testing for 3 peak rating that is required for that rating. 3 peak only tests going forward, that's it. They don't test braking, or cornering. Which is why if you're going to be in the mountains a lot you better get dedicated snow tires. I'm going to get these for summer driving, and for the shoulder seasons for early and late season skiing, but I also have the Blizzaks for real winter weather. It makes a HUGE difference on my Bronco Sport BL.
Ive been on the fence between falken AT trail or these ones and your video was doing so well at convincing me for the trail terrain. Then you added that last line about the falken 😂
Thanks for the review, these tires are equipped on my 2023 Kia Sportage X-Pro. That trim is for light off road experiences. Good job Kia & BF Goodrich. 👍🏾
Great review! I am a western Washingtonian who drives his XC90 on exactly the same terrain you tested in. Most of the AT tire testers are more rock/desert terrain but I am beach, dunes, mountain trails and snow. Bummed that the KO2 doesn't come in my size but the new BFG looks like the perfect option.
I appreciate this video. I'm going to find some 16×6 wheels for my 94 Suzuki Sidekick, and fitting some 215/65r16 of this tire. From your picture, it looks like we are both proud owners of a weimaraner as well.
Thanks for the good review. I inherited a 2wd 96 Silverado. Have ko2s on my 4runner love those. But for a 2wd truck I suspect these trail tires will work well for what I need em for. Thanks again.
Good review and thanks for getting right to it! Saw that you were able to spend time on the Nomad Grapplers, as well. How do the two compare and which would you choose? Thanks
I am also in the PNW and have been looking at these for my truck. How is the on-road traction in the rain? I do mostly pavement driving and towing with some light off roading so these seem perfect.
Just found this very informational video. Thank you very much for taking the time. -Question to you, sir, do they make them in a 10 ply? And if not, this question goes out to everyone that reads this message. Would they be a good application for a Dodge mega cab 5.7 gas, badged as a 1500 but technically a 2500. It does have eight bolt pattern. It is a heavy half. Looking for a budget tire, highway queen, would these tires go good?
I came across this tires as they are available in costco, have had ko2s on my previous truck, they are pretty good but fuel economy suffers, this round I’m looking for a middle ground, the factory Michelin are just too bad on the snow
many thanks for your feedback. Thanks to you i dscovered i guess the best tire for me. This apart does your viara has a OEM locking diff? or just low gears ratio and l frame chassis? Thanks!
I did a full winter here in Salt Lake City, Utah and I honestly did not find these tires to be sufficient. The starting and stopping was fine, but the lateral grip is seriously lacking. I ski 1-4 days a week, so this was a pretty big deal. If you’re looking for a good A/T tire in the snow I would probably look towards the Falken Wildpeak because of the outer edge design of the tire and it’s ability to sipe snow. Other than that, this is a pretty great tire!
hey bud thanks to you and your video from before I picked myself a grand Vitara mk3 2.4 2014, it's a great car, getting my tires soon. I'm going for general grabbers at3s. I'm only 20 and live in the UK, it's expensive on insurance but fuck it really. great video
Hi, one question, ¿what's the pressure that you recomeend for the tyres in the case of the sand?, I saw in different blogs that its neccesary use 10 or 12 psi, ¿Are you agree?
Good review, any good review should mention balance and if it needed much weight, not many mention that, i think its very important, being most everything else is subjective.
Have you tested any of the Hercules lineup class leading warranty & exclusive rubber compound & their owned by a larger company that has more popular name recognition I think you'd be pleasantly surprised
Ive been thinking about these for my 2017 Grand cherokee. I generally always run KO2's but i dont like how they fling rocks. Mostly concerned with snow performance as well as light mud and some sand...think id be ok with these? Or should i just got KO2?
I wish they would make these in a 285/75r16 because I run 33s on my f150. (No lift but 4x4 package) and I love the look of these and I don't do so much offloading as I used to. But they do make them in a 32' so I'll look into it
If you are going to do any off roading ? Do not buy the trail Terrains… I live on a hillside Coffee farm ( Hawaii). My wife car is a Jeep Compass Trailhawk…we added these BFG Trail Terrains…at first I thought the Jeep compass 4x4 was not effective…tires worn out after 10,000 miles, we were slipping and sliding going up the hill…especially raining days.. Once we replace with BFG KO2s …”Wow” ..huge difference…we rarely slip and slide…tons more traction.! If you are going to do any off roading ? Stay away from the Trail terrains and go with the BFG KO2 or KO3 ..both offer the same mileage warranty..yet the KO2 will offer better traction! Note we have Tundra 4x4 and TRD Tacoma both with BFG KO2s…no problems…
this is something I keep seeing is everyone saying the same thing about these tires "Only get these if your doing intense offroading all the time, do NOT get these if you plan to both onroad and offroad, THEY WILL GET YOU KILLED" of course I find this out only AFTER i purchased them and started having panic attacks, but hearing someone actually give them a good score Im a little less uneasy about my purchase.
I think they mostly say that because more off road capable tires make more noise than highway tires and get like 5% worse fuel economy. aside from that, they should be fine on the highway
These are totally fine on road 😆 if anything more of an on road tire then any other AT I’ve ever had before and spend plenty of time on the highway with them
I have a 2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk and put ona set of Trail Terrain…I am very disappointed! Use on a 4x4 Coffee land ( hillside).. NO traction but could be the AWL system on the Jeep Compass..? I also own 4x4 TRD Tacoma, and a 4x4 Tundra both with BFGs A/T…buy these instead. Here is my thoughts Trail Terrain 99% for highways and 1% light off roads.. But I lose too much traction even when dry ..worst on rainy times..
greetings from pontassieve province of Florence Italy I was looking for the original bf goodrich ko 2 in size 205-70-15 and this model does not exist in this size for my Suzuki jimny 4x4 with m13a petrol engine year 2001 1.3 lt petrol and I opted for a set of Hankook dynapro atf rf 10 205-70-15 m+s tires and I have a set of retreaded mud tires from the Italian brand ziarelli and the ziarelli tire model is called mud power and is always in size 205-70-15 m +s !
Reviews by professional tyre review teams suggest that it's poor in wet weather handling and braking on road, significantly worse than the wildpeak etc. I expect this of the k02 but it seems this is maybe too much of a poor road tyre and less of a good offroad tyre.
these tires are complete trash on wet pavement. I went from yoko geolander AT015s which were amazing in all illinois weather on my v6 jeep cherokee KL. Never broke traction with the yokos, have broken traction multiple times in the first 3 months of having the trail terrains.
@@MrFordguy73 slightly worse than stock, but not super noticeable. On long trips up to northern wisconsin i'd average 26-28 mpg. in winter expect that to go down to low 20s. no noticable difference while towing my snowmobile in winter either, still low 20s.
This is one of the best reviews I've seen. To the point and no stupid camera time
Thanks!

I have wildpeaks on mine and love them.
I have weatherpeak on my forester. It works great. I love them , but it really doesn’t like gravel and lots of pebbles stuck in it.
Thank you for the sand review, I was most interested in that with these tires. 👍
Great review! This is the way all tire reviews need to be.
I live in northern Minnesota and they do great in snow.

Put a set on my Crosstrek last year and have zero complaints. Live in Western Wash state. lots of rain. Work awesome in the rain.
Ian glad to hear you get it! Long footprint and not wide

I ran copper discoverer at3s on my Cherokee (small lift, ran 30”s). They were real solid and drove well. Didnt off road much mostly snow driving

Good review, any good review should mention balance and if it needed much weight, not many mention that, i think its very important, being most everything else is subjective.
I was all set to buy these for my tahoe, but they only make them in standard load for the size I wanted... Otherwise they seemed perfect.
Is that where the Goonies was filmed? Sure looked like it.
Little farther south
Nice job! What's you opinion between the BFG Trail Terrain vs the General Grabber AT3?
Don’t have any experience with the grabber, though I’ve considered them a few times.

Awd is better then 4wd
No
It depends on the purpose.
4Lo is better in off-road situations. Auto 4WD is the best all around.
