Our verdict on the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2
The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 is built around dirt and trail bite, its highest axis at 9/10, with sidewall and carcass toughness behind it at 9/10 and a 7.9/10 seven-axis blend for an all-terrain. Nothing in the profile collapses: the lowest mark, rolling efficiency at 5/10, is 4 points off the top and does not even feed the blend, and the dataset flags it when you want the newer successor model. It carries the 3PMSF severe-snow symbol, sits in the mid-priced bracket at #6 of 50 overall and 4th of 18 all-terrains, is catalogued in 10 Tacoma sizes on 16- through 18-inch wheels, and rests on 5 cited sources. Its lead use cases are a long-proven Tacoma fitment and trail use, one place behind the Toyo Open Country A/T III in our ranking.
The ten-axis score profile
Every model in the research set is rated 0-10 on the same ten axes. For the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 the profile runs from 9/10 on trail down to 5/10 on efficiency; the 7.9/10 headline figure is the average of the seven axes marked below as feeding the blend.

| Axis | What it covers | Score | In blend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road comfort | pavement ride quality and noise | 7/10 | Yes |
| Wet grip | traction on wet pavement | 7/10 | Yes |
| Snow | packed snow and winter road traction | 8/10 | Yes |

| Mud | deep mud traction and self-cleaning | 6/10 | No |
| Durability | puncture and sidewall resistance | 9/10 | Yes |
| Tread life | expected mileage before replacement | 8/10 | Yes |
| Efficiency | weight and rolling resistance | 5/10 | No |
| Looks | how aggressive the tread and sidewall read | 8/10 | No |
| Value | what the tire delivers per dollar | 7/10 | Yes |
7 of the ten axes feed the blended number (road comfort, wet grip, snow, trail, durability, tread life, and value); mud, efficiency, and looks are shown for the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 but sit outside it, which is why a mud or looks score can run well above or below the headline.
Who the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 is for
Best for
The research dataset tags the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 for the uses below; the number after each one is the axis in its own profile that backs the tag.
- A long-proven Tacoma fitment.
- Trail use — trail 9/10.
- Snow driving — snow 8/10.
- Sidewall durability — durability 9/10.
Avoid if
The same dataset flags where the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 is the wrong pick, again with the axis behind each call.
- You want the newer successor model.
- Maximum wet-road grip is the priority — wet grip 7/10.
Tacoma sizes the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 comes in
The catalog behind this dataset records the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in 10 sizes that fit common Tacoma wheel diameters, spanning 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels. Of those, 9 have a Tacoma fitment page on this site, linked below.
Those 10 entries are the dataset's own availability list for the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2, not a live retailer feed — a model with a thin catalog gets a short list here rather than a padded one. What actually clears on your truck still depends on wheel width, offset, and how much trimming you will accept, so check the size against your generation before you buy.
Sources behind the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2's scores
The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2's row rests on 5 of the 83 cited documents behind this research set — tacoma recommendation, tacoma owner setups, manufacturer vehicle recommendation, and manufacturer product. Each is listed with the date it was read.
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 on a Tacoma: common questions
In our editorial synthesis the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 blends to 7.9/10 across the seven all-round axes, which places it 4th of 18 all-terrains and #6 of 50 in the whole research set. Its case rests on dirt and trail bite (9/10) and sidewall and carcass toughness (9/10), so it suits a long-proven Tacoma fitment, trail use, and snow driving.
The research catalog records the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 as offered in 10 sizes that fit common Tacoma wheel diameters: 265/75R16, 285/75R16, 265/70R17, 275/70R17, 285/70R17, 255/80R17, 285/75R17, 315/70R17, 265/70R18, and 275/70R18. That is the dataset's own availability list rather than a live retailer feed, so confirm the exact size and load range with the seller before ordering.
The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 carries the 3PMSF severe-snow-service symbol, and our synthesis puts its snow axis at 8/10. That combination is what qualifies it as a year-round tire in states with severe-snow tire rules, though a dedicated winter tire still out-grips any all-season or all-terrain on ice.
The weakest marks in the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2's profile are rolling efficiency at 5/10 and mud clearing at 6/10. The dataset flags it as the wrong choice when you want the newer successor model and maximum wet-road grip is the priority. Those judgements come from the 5 cited sources listed on this page, not from anything measured here.
