Tires in NoVA/DC...

[cltmedic]

I was all ready to throw some new BFG AT KO2's on my 100 (Don't worry....I'm not asking what size I can put on without a lift ) and I started reading a lot of reviews on how they don't do well in rain.

This 100 is my DD (until it's built and I can afford 2 cars!) and while I know we don't get *a lot* of rain, this has me worried with NoVA traffic and I also visit DC often.

Anyone find any issues with the rain?

No issues with BFG ATs in the rain. I had them on my LX450 and have them on my '07 Tundra.
I couldn't get the LX450 to break loose if I tried. But that was with full time 4wd. I can spin the tires on the Tundra, but that is after 50k miles and a 5.7l V8 in 2wd.
I am very happy with my BFG ATs. Just make sure to maintain your alignment t and rotate them every 7-10k or so.

Both of these vehicle were DD's and I wheeled the LX as well.

I suspect someone is confusing the AT with the BFG MT KM2. The AT is still a great tire, and has been for 30 years. I'm 1/3 the way through my 4th set (three vehicles used as a DD continuously since 1985). The new design is supposed to be a significant improvement.

I think he is referring to these: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=All-Terrain+T/A+KO2&partnum=87R7KO2RWL&GCID=C13674x012-tire&KEYWORD=tires.jsp_BFGoodrich_All-Terrain_T/A_KO2_Tire&code=yes&src=17540115&ci_sku=87R7KO2RWL&ci_sku=87R7KO2RWL&ci_src=17588969&ef_id=VTBhPQAABWsN1X6Y:20150523042120:s

I had the BFG T/A KO's AKA BFG AT on both my trucks.

I don't imagine the new ones would be worse on wet pavement.

The km2 are just fine in the rain, snow, ice too. This is from someone with a light truck and a rear autolocker.
Let's be honest, we're not rally racing our trucks 24/7...just on the weekends.

Great to hear. Thanks! My biggest concern was travel to Norfolk (which was always flooding last year) and the sections between DC and Richmond that MAY see a plow or salt. Never was an issue until travel picked up the past couple years.
