From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The BFGoodrich A/T KO2 is widely regarded as a highly durable and aesthetically aggressive tire that excels in off-road environments and extreme heat. While users praise its longevity and rugged construction, there is a clear consensus regarding its compromises in on-road comfort, noise levels, and wet-weather performance.
Pros
- Exceptional tread longevity and durability even in extreme temperatures
- Strong off-road traction across varied terrain including rocks, mud, and sand
- Aggressive, iconic visual appeal
- Reliable performance when aired down for off-road use
Cons
- Noticeable road noise during daily driving
- Subpar handling and traction in wet on-road conditions
- Reduced ride comfort compared to less aggressive all-terrain options
Observations
- Owners of smaller, lightweight 4x4s like the Suzuki Jimny report surprisingly good road-holding characteristics.
- The tire demonstrates extreme heat resistance, maintaining structural integrity after years of use in desert climates exceeding 50°C.
The Nexen Roadian A/T 4x4 receives highly critical feedback, with users reporting significant issues regarding traction and ride quality. The tire is described as excessively hard, leading to poor grip in both wet and dry conditions and a harsh, uncomfortable driving experience.
Pros
- Exceptional tread longevity and durability
Cons
- Extremely poor wet and dry road traction
- Harsh and uncomfortable ride quality
- Excessively hard rubber compound
- Lack of compliance even at lower tire pressures
Observations
- Users on lightweight 4WD vehicles like the Suzuki Jimny report that the tire compound is too stiff to provide adequate feedback or comfort.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
