BFG "KO's"

Ray

What type of use did they have??? and what % on/off road.

Most people say they like them. I've been anguishing over these or Coopers.

cheers

Andrew, might want to include Goodyear MTRs in that group. They don't chip out like the BFGs and Coopers.

Andrew % on or off road ? I bought them because BFGs were good that is were good, almost every time I went off road even dirt /gravel tracks I got holes in the side walls . The pressures were right just very soft rubber.I went back to the dealer who was not interested even had a rep from BFG hav a look he sugggested the rubber was (green) not cured but was not going to give any refund. I bought a set of Cooper S/T and have not had a puncture since ,going the same places.Some people say the coopers chip but I have not seen this on my tyres.The goodyear MTR are also a good tyre but lots of dough. Forget the BFGs not the same tyre at all. Mine were 32x11.5x15 0n a GU Patrol. Hope this helps

Ray, I know someone else with the same size BFG ATKO - destroyed all 5 of them. BFG even took one away to get tested, but "lost" the tyre. Offered him prorata for a new one because they lost his tyre!!! He calls them NFG for obvious reasons.

I punched holes in two BFG ATKO tyres last week in the Flinders - one repairable and one not. The bloke at Hawker also says the KO means Knock Out, because he sees so many of them with problems. I guess that has something to do with the population size - there are a lot out there - but he noticed a big increase in problems when they went to the KO type. I'm going to Goodyear MTRs......Russell S
