Review on BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 245/65 R17 111 year old by Dorota Masiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

For understanding, I operate on a VAZ 21213 Niva, size 215/75 R15, on VSMPO forging (weight up to 5 kg, thereby compensating for the small weight of rubber), about six months, mileage about 6000 km, 65% asphalt, 25% gravel road, 10% in vain and related on vacation. Previously, I didn’t believe that it was possible to purchase one set for summer and winter, and the car would not only be manageable in summer or winter, but well, plus it has quite sufficient cross-country ability and is quite comfortable on the highway. 1. For those to whom it is noisy. Guys, do you know that this is like rubber, which is positioned as off-road, respectively, the tread is calculated more to match this very off-road, and not noiselessness, but at the same time it does not cause noise discomfort. 2. For those who are not controllable on ice. Actually, it's not a secret for anyone that there is no competitor for studs on ice, and on asphalt, a stud is like on ice without studs (we don't take into account the super expensive tires with "auto-studs"). Further, non-studded, in order to be at least somehow confident on the ice, costs more than this BFG and you will get only winter (!). 3. For those who have insufficient patency. Choose the same MUD Terrain, but you will change the comfort on the paved road, which is logical. 4. Summing up the above. Rubber turned out really good for its price. There were doubts, but during the operation, every day, doubts disappear and they are replaced by a firm belief that the right choice was made! And the price, now, seems not so great.) And let's calculate: if we take into account that this is an all-weather, all-terrain tire, then divide by four (summer, summer off-road, winter, winter off-road), what are the options for the amounts received, so that these options are at least as good in terms of operational characteristics. Well, if we add the cost of tire fitting or wheels for each set, troubles with storage and replacement . Now, how is the price of this rubber? Of course, there are not enough spikes on pure ice and in porridge, BUT, what about on the pavement, and in the summer, what about the noise!?)

Pros
  • Soft (for off-road). Not noisy (for critics - do not forget that this is not a highway for a passenger car). Omnivorous - winter, summer, in vain, stones. Price, considering what you buy for summer, winter, track, dirt.
Cons
  • Rubber does not have them (not counting the weight of the tire under 15 kg), people who are looking for them and do not understand the purpose of the item being bought have them.

Very noisy, of course, for long distances - the head is buzzing
