It’s adios to the BFG KO2

I’m still rolling on KOs on the K20 as it appears the KO2 will be discontinued with the KO3 set to hit the market in 2026. Article here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enth...5c324bed&ei=12

Seems to be how anything is...if it works great, discontinue it, and replace it with something else. :crazy:

Or design a new "upgraded" unit and make the older one obsolete thereby forcing you to upgrade and spend more $$$. Same principle as to why the new phones are out of date within a years time. Have to ''improve'' to justify the more costly unit. The consumer never wins out at all. :lol:

I didn't really love my KO2's. Lots of weight to balance and tendency to cup if not rotated frequently. I had KO's on a couple of different trucks and preferred those.

The first iteration of them got recalled because of these issues...

They can say it is improved but I have my doubts. The new tread looks lame to me. Oh well, all good things come to an end. I'll worry about it when mine wear out.

I really miss the OG bfg muds. They were a really classic looking mud tire.

Looks like the KO3 will not be offered in any 15” sizes :(

You are triggering my hoarding instinct.

I've been seeing alot about bfg and people they sponsor being at odds here lately...
People are dropping bfg and going to other brands..they say bfg has become very hard to deal with...

I would say at least we still have the General Grabbers but they are discontinuing sizes too. They will probably be next to change the tread and discontinue sizes.

I love mine. Why can't Goodyear discontinue their Wranglers instead. That's what I am always replacing with KO2s.
