BFGoodrich is the American off-road icon, the name behind the All-Terrain T/A KO2, one of the most recognised all-terrain tyres anywhere. Owned by Michelin, it pairs a rugged identity with premium-group engineering.
Where it sits
Mid-to-upper market for off-road, backed by Michelin. The pitch is proven, characterful off-road tyres with a major maker behind them, which is why the brand commands respect among serious 4x4 owners. Where that lands in the ladder is set out under premium tyres.
What it is known for
- All-terrain tyres, above all the All-Terrain T/A KO2
- Serious mud-terrain capability through the KM3
- Performance heritage via the g-Force range
The ranges that matter
- All-Terrain T/A: the KO2, a benchmark all-terrain
- Mud-Terrain T/A: the KM3, for serious off-road
- g-Force: performance and touring
Where they are made
BFGoodrich manufactures internationally within the Michelin group, so a tyre's origin depends on the model and size shown on the sidewall.
How it compares
The KO2 trades a little road refinement for genuine off-road capability and that unmistakable blocky look, so it is worth being honest about how much rough stuff you really drive. Against rivals, it carries more image and arguably more outright off-road credibility than the Cooper Discoverer or Falken Wildpeak, often at a slightly higher price. If most of your miles are tarmac, a road-biased SUV tyre will be quieter and cheaper; if you head off it, the KO2 earns its keep.
Who they suit
4x4, overland and pickup owners who want a proven, characterful all-terrain, the KO2 is often the first name on an off-road shortlist, alongside the Falken Wildpeak and Cooper Discoverer. Matching the range to the vehicle is covered under matching tyres to how you drive.
From the reviews desk: the KO2 is the tyre people picture when they think all-terrain, and that reputation is earned. With Michelin behind the brand, you get the rugged image and the engineering depth, which is a strong combination for anyone heading off the tarmac.
