Ive been excited about this since I heard it was coming about a year ago.
The current BFG KO is a good tire, but its a little bit "polite" for our purposes. This new offering from BFG is an in your face replacement. The only competition I like for the BFG KO is the Goodyear Duratrac, but you cannot get them in any size larger than 34". BFG will make jeepers the new all-terrain in and assortment of larger sizes to give guys with big tires an option to not go with a mud tire.
Up in the north east, we had the worst winter in a decade last year. May have been record snow fall for the last century, (not kidding). My jeep had the BFG KM2 mud terrain tire installed and performed admirably for an MT tire. In the worst of wet and frozen conditions, this new all-terrain should really shine. I think it will also be a commercially rated snow tire.
I cannot wait to see them up close, and we will test them in the snow and ice, as well as in the rocks and mud. This may be the new standard for a tire that functions like an all terrain, being quiet and sticking to the ground in rain and snow, while still looking aggressive on our jeeps.
This has been a long time coming. Ive been riding on bald tires for a few months waiting for this tire to come.
Hurry up BFG! your public awaits!
X2! I cannot wait to see how this think climbs in snow.
This tire is supposed to be on the market this November. I'm seconds away from pulling the trigger on a set of duratracs but this new offering has got me second guessing myself. I imagine the sidewall on the new BFG would be an upgrade over that of the Duratrac. Hmmmmmmmm?
There is a great shot in the video where the side wall has to go past some jagged steel. Ill have to dig it up.
This is gonna be a real contender when I move from my 34.6" Duratracs to 37s. Now I wanna drive like crazy to burn some tread just as an excuse.
I want to beadlock a set of these on 37s or 38s and test them at very low PSI over the pointy rocks at Rausch Creek, PA!
