BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 - Tire Test

  |   tire Test ford F250 bfgoodrich Mud Terrain Km2 First off, a mud tire isn't just for mud anymore. A mud tire has to be ready for anything and everything-from rocks to dirt to snow to swamps. It wasn't always that way, of course, but the success of the mud-tire design has proved capable in so many situations that it has risen above its label to become the do-everything tire. Practically every company that makes a light-truck tire offers a mud-tire tread of some sort, but no other tire has played a bigger role in creating this segment than the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain. When you make a tire that is so influential to the marketplace, you have to be careful not to dilute the credibility you've built, so the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain has only had two tread designs in the last 30 years. That's an impressive track record, but as technology has improved and the competition has become fierce, BFGoodrich decided it was time to reinvent its Mud-Terrain T/A to maintain its appeal-hence the new Mud-Terrain T/A KM2. To find out how the new tire works, we spent a month with BFGoodrich's Mud-Terrain T/A KM2. We mounted a set of 37x12.50R18 tires on Airaid'sF-250 and drove them back and forth to work to get a feel for their road manners. We also took them into the mountains north of Los Angeles to test them in the dirt and rocks, and we borrowed a new Jeep Wrangler to try them out in the mud. Here's what we found out.
